Hey guys, I'm working really hard on the next update for the Overhaul. Here is a list of items I'm working on for this update. If you want to talk about Balancing or Fixes please use the Discussion for Balancing.

• (Completed) Global Faction Pack assignments for all Factions instead of just the Global Pool of Designs.
  
• (Completed) Finish the Extension Mod to allow users to add their own custom content.

• (Completed) Adjust Latchers weapons range from 1.2km to 2.0km.
  
• (Completed) Limit the number of total minion spawns a Summoner can create based on difficulty level so they run out.
  
• (Completed) Limit the number of times a Quantum can jump per min to prevent cancer jumping.

• (Completed) Fix Code to allow Titans to spawn.
  
• (Not Done) Fix Lady Adventurous Exploit (Vanilla Game Issue)
  
• (Completed) Temp Fix Pirate scaling till the Dedicated Pirate generator is finished.
  
• (Completed) Fix Scrapyard Sector Generation: Sector is currently generated one item at a time (Vanilla Generation).
  
• (Completed) Fix Turrets not generating on all Stations for increased sector defense.
  
• (Completed - Untested) Fix Military Outposts not using Fighters (Vanilla Game Issue: No Pilots & AI Order not set)

• Reworked Scrapyard Sectors reducing average load time from 4 mins to 45 seconds.
  
• Scrapyards should feel more "alive" than before. They now react to the environment.
  
• Scrapyards will now be populated with new scrap as they run out.
  
• Scrapyards will populate unstripped wreckages.
  
• Scrapyards have a very small chance to spawn Station wreckages.
  
• New Scrapyard mechanics work with player-owned scrapyards. (There will be balance changes as we move forward with this.)
  
• Micro fix for Linux users. There was a case sensitive variable that would throw an error.

There were a few items I couldn't complete based on the time required to do them. I didn't want to hold back the majority of this update trying to get the last items finished. The scrapyard fix is going to take a bit more work than expected so it will be in a future update as it requires a lot of work with the sector generator and doing async calls to create objects.

• Added 21 new Ship and Station Designs by Drazhill.
  
• Added Global Faction Pack assignments. Each faction will be assigned one of the loaded packs which is will use to generate items. (This will apply to currently generated factions)
  
• Created the Mod Extension which will allow other creators to build Global faction packs to add to the game. (Creating a Discussion for these)
  
• Fixed Xsotan Scouts not spawning with the built Designs.
  
• Adjusted Summoner Minion spawns: 2/5 will be Hunters, 2/5 will be Decimators, 1/5 will be Annihilators.
  
• Placed a Limit on the number of Summoner Spawns based on the difficulty level. 8 on Easy, 14 on Insane.
  
• Placed a Limit on the number of Reclaimers a Summoner can spawn.
  
• Placed a Limit on the number of Reclaimer Spawns based on the difficulty level. 25 on Easy, 50 on Insane.
  
• Set the max number of Latcher Spawns in a sector set to 15 globally.
  
• Increased Latchers weapon range to 2km (was 1.2km).
  
• Quantum ability completely rebuilt to scale with difficulty.
  
• Quantum ability uses a Charged based mechanic for jumps instead of accumulated hits which allow you to drain them of the ability to rapidly jump.
  
• Adjusted the Pirate Generation and scaling to be more uniform. This should prevent excessively large Pirate ships from attacking sectors.
  
• Adjusted the Pirate Scaling when more than one player is in a sector. Reduced the overall factor by 1/10 for balance.
  
• Almost all Boss fights now scale with the difficulty level. I'll add additional mechanics in future updates for this.
  
• Fixed "The 4" so they spawn in ships more reasonable for their jobs.
  
• Fixed "Specimen 8055" so it spawns using a ship more reasonable for its fight.
  
• Fixed "Fidget" so it spawns using a ship more reasonable for its fight.
  
• Added a custom Ship design for Boss Swoks.
  
• Boss Swoks now has his own custom faction: The Pirate Guild, which will be expanded in future updates.
  
• The AI, Big Brother, and the Corrupted AI all have custom Designs by Black Disciple.
  
• The Laser Boss has a custom-built design now provided by Black Disciple.
  
• All stations have two chances (40% & 25%) to get turrets.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented Titan class ships from spawning.
  
• Reworked the generator to make it truly randomized for each ship being generated.
  
• Store various vanilla function calls that were being over-written to variables to allow for use if needed.
