New Features

Locations

New Jump Point Rest Stop Stations and Lagrange Points

Addition of 3 additional Rest Stops to Stanton that act as the final stop before entering Jump Points. Each location is set up similarly to all the other Lagrange Points and consists of a parent Gas Cloud, a smaller Child Gas Cloud, a Gateway Rest Stop and and structures leading to the Jump Point itself. It is important to note that Jump Points are currently non-functional in 3.21 as Stanton is the only available system at this time and right now.

These 3 new Stations with Jump Points that leave the Stanton System are:
– Pyro Gateway – (Stanton>Pyro)
– Magnus Gateway – (Stanton>Magnus)
– Terra Gateway – (Stanton>Terra)
