Derelict Spaceships V1 – Planetside Points of Interest

Updates to the Derelict Spaceship missions to include more points of interest that will be scattered on planets. These derelict spaceships can now include newly added activities such as puzzles, tripmines, traversal problems, and hostile AI encounters and may reward players handsomely when for resolving the activity. These new derelicts will include the 1st implementation of laser trip mines into the game which players will encounter. This trip mines are explosives that use a beam of light that will detonate the explosive when someone or something comes into contact with the beam.

Ship Shield Delay Changes

Shield face regen delay timer will now also trigger if the ship hull is hit and shield face is already down. Shield regen delay timers will now trigger for all faces when the power state of any shield generator is changed.
