I am doing a running change log of all the changes between the 1.4 and 1.5 versions of the scenario, so individual updates made while testing may be incomplete but the major change log below this will be updated.

• Added default missions.
  
• Added Brotherhood of Farr faction, faction territory, and homeworld.
  
• Fixed errors in solar system configs.
  
• Updated The Dead Part 2 mission to make it more compatible with multiplayer.
  
  Added several new star types:
  
• Added WR1 and WR2 Wolf-Rayet stars, K2V Orange Dwarf, L and T Brown Dwarfs, and updated or added several new anomalies.
  Probably a bunch of other changes I forgot to list here.

Several changes in the item and block configuration files in the scenario requires that a new save game is started using this version of the scenario.
You may choose to continue your existing save game using the old version of the scenario, or start a new game using the new version of the scenario.
If you are updating the scenario on a server, make sure to completely delete the old scenario folder to remove any old files before moving the new scenario over, then start a new save using the new scenario.
If you modded itemsconfig.ecf in the scenario and now the item IDs are different, please update your custom configs to use the new item IDs in the scenario to prevent issues.


The major space orbits have been completely rebuilt using new playfield features.
Faction territory now plays a bigger role in how many and what POIs, ships, drones, and resource asteroids will be in a sector.
In general you will find more POIs for a faction inside of their own territory than outside of it, as well as some POIs that are only found in specific territories.
New environmental visuals and ambient audio has been added.
Searching for wrecks has been made more worthwhile.
Most of these changes apply only to the main space orbits and asteroid fields for now. More playfields will be reworked later.

Read below for details.

• Many resource asteroids can now be found along the axis of the space playfield, or along the axis of the planet's rings if it has any.
  
• Added Claimed resource asteroids to some faction territories. Which asteroids you find varies by faction and star class. Only shows up on detector within 6000 meters as a POI and mining it is a hostile action. These are added as an extra bonus for mining in enemy faction territory.
  
• Reduced gold ore in gold asteroids considerably.
  
• Changed regeneration timer for most asteroids from 3 hours to 12 hours.
  
• Added new wrecks and updated loot on all space wrecks.
  
• Bandits have moved in to some wrecks.
  
  
• Trade stations are now assigned to their appropiate factions.
  
• Updated space drone and ship settings to use the new drone AI in the major space orbits and some sectors.
  
  
• Added visuals to space such as gas clouds and debris.
  
• Changed stars to use the new star model.
  
• Added new star classes and updated appearances.
  
• Added chance for binary and trinary star systems. Secondary stars are decorative only and do not give off light or solar power.
  
• Added ambient sounds to Data Caches, large wrecks, and thick dust clouds.
  
• Added random radio chatter to Bandits and Raiders.
  
  
• Updated major space orbits.
  
• Updated major asteroid fields.
  
• Zirax asteroid fields are now found in hot systems.
  
• Added random chance for dust clouds or anomalies to orbits that may hide asteroids or smuggler outposts.
  
• Added new combat, mining, and exploration sites. Added new sites restricted to SVs.
  
• Added tier 1-3 mining missions to some mining sites and added 4 new ores for them.

  Factions:
  Brotherhood of Farr:
  The Brotherhood of Farr from the vanilla game has been added. Huge thanks to Spanj and his community for creating this amazing faction.

  Progenitor:

• Added new setting to the Admin Control to increase how much research is required to create a Progenitor Translation Matrix (between 100 to 2000, default is 100).
  [8]When Translation Matrixes are used up, they will give a Depleted Progenitor Translation Matrix that can be used for later missions.
  
• Changed Progenitor Technology Fragment loot to use randomized loot instead of fixed loot. On average you should get more fragments per obelisk.
  
• The Progenitors have fixed several security flaws that allowed access to data caches without hacking them first and reduced data chips in T1 data caches from 2-3 to 1-2.
  
• Added two new types of data caches.

• Object 82 dialog now directs you to search for system names on the galaxy map instead of adding waypoints for you.
  
• Updated visuals in Object 1 playfield.
  These changes will slow down how fast you get 100 terrabytes of data and fixes how easy it is to do Object 82 on a server.
  
• Progenitor Tech balancing:
