Note: This patch does not contain all of the intended features, which will be added iteratively to the notes as they become available. Additionally, some features may be implemented in a partial state and as such are not ready for testing. When those features reach a playable state they will be detailed on the notes and added to the “Testing Focus”. Please issue council all issues related to those in testing focus and in general gameplay.

Testing Focus

Today’s Initial 3.20 PU publish will be hyper-focused on Stability. This will most likely be a limited playtest tonight where we will need to take the PTU down this evening. With this build we are not collecting feedback on Features but will be processing IC reports as they arrive.

Important Note: Please only set your initial spawn to Orison. Setting it to another location or going to another location in the PU and leaving will most likely brick your account for this PTU test until you recopy!

Not Ready For Feedback

As always, there are partial implementations for certain new features that we are not collecting bugs and feedback on just yet as any issues are most likely due to partial implementation.

Seraphim Station
Automated Cargo Transfer and New Cargo Packing System
Hull C
New Salvage Missions
Wheeled Vehicle Handling Improvements
