Discovery 4.87: Conquest - Update 3

[aerelm]

Update 3 for Discovery 4.87 Conquest should be on the update servers by the time of this post. Your Discovery client should automatically download and install this update for you the next time you run the game. This update can be considered the first major beta patch for the Conquest, and unlike the previous updates which focused on fixing the more critical bugs, update 3 also includes various gameplay-related updates as well as various cosmetic changes. Even though this is not the final release and Discovery 4.87 is still in its beta phase, update 3 is the first stable release of the Conquest and we'd like to thank the community members who helped our developers identify and fix as many bugs as possible since the initial release.

Complete list of bug fixes and changes included in update 3:

Also, to answer two questions frequently asked by the community during the past week:

Database Rollback: As announced, the rollback is scheduled for update 3, and you can expect it within the next couple of days. It also includes player owned bases. The inactivity wipe will be disabled for 2 weeks from the time of the rollback, so we suggest you refresh all your characters after the rollback to make sure none will be lost to inactivity. A separate notice will be posted in this section when the rollback happens.

Player Owned Bases: The three 4.86 repair commodities (Basic Alloys, Robotics, Ship Hull Panels) on all player bases will be automatically replaced with the equal quantity of their 4.87 counterparts after the rollback. Due to an issue with the player base plugin, however, the bases are going to be disabled and will remain offline until the issue is fixed. Since this bug is entirely server-side, you can expect the fix to be implemented independent of the scheduled client-side updates. A notice will be posted to let base owners know 1 week in advance when the bug is fixed and the plugin is scheduled to be re-enabled.

To server administrators: dacomsrv.ini has been updated in the new update. You will need to edit it if you run any custom plugins. Further, if your members get automatically kicked for cheating upon joining the server after the update, you need to add healing.dll into the anticheat exception list to fix the issue.

Awesome!

Nomad cloaks. Oh man. Are these just for Nomads? Or can they be for anyone else? Like Das Wolde for instance
