This is a multi-purpose blog. First I'll announce that the ghost/zombie, Stramineus, and Joe's Halloween items will be disappearing on the 10th. Hunt those ghosts while you can!

===

Next, some small updates/bug fixes.

The padding on forum posts was bugged after the anonymous forum update. I fixed that (also added 10 px padding on top of forum posts, up from the 5px before. I think it looks nicer).

I added the active skills on a drone run on mouseover of the drones module and on the drone bays page.

I buffed the drone skill Evasion, so that it rolls Reliability * 3 instead of 2. With 25 Reliability, you'd have a 75% chance of evading danger, up from 50%. It was one of the least used skills, so hopefully this encourages more players to try it. Heavy Forcefield and Nanobot Repairs are also underused, but not sure how to go about buffing them.

Finally, everybody go sign up in Wolf's Werewolves thread in Games Forum. It'll be fun, I promise.

Here are the list of changes that came along with latest game update:

Misc Changes:

1) Added WL Re-entry time as a variable that staff can edit for events.
2) Added energy cost as an editable option for any hunting NPCs, not just event ones. Disclaimer about energy cost is auto written to NPC's description on the hunting page if it takes more than 5 energy.
3) Crafting % listed on the Information page now has a z-index so that the XP bar doesn't cover up the number for Firefox users.
4) Clicking the Character tab goes to Information -> Character now.
5) Added a new option to change where clicking on your character's Energy leads to, either Job Center or Observatory.
6) Edited VH and Guide descriptions on the staff list page as they were dated.

Gameplay Changes:

1) Changed the way learning crafting recipes is done. Using a blueprint that yields a recipe you already know will write that recipe to the blueprint's description. You can then trade or sell the blueprint to other players who haven't learned the recipe on it, so they can bypass the random lottery if they choose.

2) Added an Item Data field on the Market Search page. You can use this to search for blueprints containing recipe data or targeting modules containing an item location.

As always let me know if you find anything buggy, have any questions, or wish to provide me feedback in regards to the update.

Thanks,
Bongo.
