- Added: Alberta system, the dark matter storm finally passed
- Changed: New York California jump gate now leads to Manchester.
- Changed: Zurich's jump gates are imbued with Da'am K'vosh energy and now jump from one side of the galaxy to the other, because they didn't already look silly enough on the navmap having twice the jumprange of Nu's "super"gate.
- Changed: Economy rework includes Malta being made a moon of Manhattan to make smuggling and unlawful cargo relevant again. We carefully weighed other options to spur lawful and unlawful gameplay beyond /1 /2, such as making unlawful cargo even remotely close to as profitable as your average ore run, however we decided player activity and interaction is not in the players' best interest.
- Changed: Made every system 20% smaller to encourage player activity and interaction.
- Removed: Mollys faction, as they were deemed to be unhealthy to the roleplay environment in the Dublin system

Sheesh, Disco is a mess, not a straight up scam and cash grab.

A rumor straight from Reeves' rumor mill.
Code:
"I heard that Tal Ravis, the renowned Freelancer pilot, recently saved the life of Mep, the guildmaster of the Mepian Gas Miners. Apparently, Mep was on a routine inspection of one of the guild's gas mining facilities when a group of rogue pilots attacked, hoping to steal the guild's valuable gas. Mep's security forces were caught off guard and outnumbered, and it looked like the guildmaster was about to be taken captive.
That's when Tal Ravis arrived on the scene, flying his signature Humpback fighter. Witnesses say that he swooped in and took out several of the rogue pilots, giving Mep's security forces time to regroup and counterattack. With Tal's help, the security forces were able to repel the attack and save Mep from certain capture.
Some say that Tal Ravis was hired by the Mepian Gas Miners to provide additional security for the inspection, while others claim that he just happened to be passing through the area. Regardless, it seems clear that Tal's heroics saved the day and prevented a major disaster for the gas mining guild. And who knows? Maybe Tal has earned himself a few extra credits and some goodwill from Mep and the rest of the guild."
