For police/military, override and have 100% ammo, unless in a conflict zone when the standard rules apply * Get AI pirates to start attacking if the target moves more than 1km or starts charging FSD while the threatening process is ongoing * Change pirates that interdict the player to always scan (rather than sometimes attacking without scanning), and to dismiss the player and fly off if the player doesn't have any/enough cargo * Threaten time changed to 15s (from 18s) now that it's displayed in chatter * Added jump after all ships scanned, which we didn't used to need for these pirates as they always attacked * Ignore drones and powerplay cargo when deciding whether to send a generic cargo chaser after the player * Pirates should now make it clear what cargo can be dropped to apease them * Stop NPCs in ships that can't jump (like fighters) from trying to do so * When a pirate has threatened you and started to attack, reiterate the conditions for the attack to stop occasionally, updated based on the amount of cargo already dropped * Fix for pirate hunter hostiles not always being wanted * Increased the combat bonds and bounty multiplier for the "big 3" (Anaconda, Corvette & Cutter), upping their values by ~10% * Make sure that NPCs properly evaluate cargo worth to prevent some odd cases * Fixed an issue in the AI defence code which stopped heat-sinks/Chaff/ECM from working * Audio: Renamed external point of no return event to make it audible on npc ships **Outfitting** * Fixed fuel level cap when exchanging modules * SRVs and Fighters are now refueld and repaired when restocking * Removed clip size modifiers on shield cell banks **Passengers** * Passenger's demanded cargo has been updated in passenger mission wrinkles so it is now related to the passenger type * Added prisoner cells as alternatives to passenger cabins * Fixed issue whereby custom passenger text on cargo display did not match passenger type * Ensured that NPC cruise ships have passengers when scanned * Updated passenger bulk, VIP and VIP Conflict, as well as delivery and variant mission templates.

as they can manage (8 and 32) ranked in order of signal strength. Fixes known cases where nearby objects can be omitted from the scanner (some entirely, some would be audio-only). Also includes some minor optimisation to the system as a whole * Deploy option is available for SRV while still on the pad at engineer stations in a large ship fixed * If ship gets stuck in "ship approaching" when recalled on extreme uneven ground, it can now be dismissed. * Improved headlights on SRV for higher quality levels * Fix issue where the SRV was taking forever to cool down after taking heat damage * Fixed SRV shield generator and sine wave scanner not remembering if they are disabled or not * Optimisations to SRV headlight lens flares * Fixed a dependency for the SRV turret guns being nulltex whilst the player is in Vanity Camera mode * Audio: Fixed swapping turret view audio hanging * Audio: Fixed GUI panel sound getting stuck on when entering turret * Audio: Fixed broken wavescanner elements * Audio: Proper fix for "Scan Detected" voice line looping when sat in your srv next to your mothership and an unknown artefact * Audio: Added missing emitter group to scarab which was causing asserts and missing audio * Audio: Fix for fighter launch SFX always coming from player ship * Audio: Set up improved voice management and attenuations for various explosion related things * Audio: Code fix for hardpoint scanning sounds being re triggered when switching between turret and normal view * Optimisations to SRV headlights with improved visuals * Audio: Fix audio errors with the stow/deploy animation * Fixed for silent turret guns on other SRVs * Fixed ships not appearing on the SRV's wave scanner * Fix for turret gui remaining should a srv get shutdown while in turret view * SRV terrain schematic should now correctly render a cross section effect between the radar plane and any terrain that rises above it * Fixed SRV's decal slot names * Fixed issue with inconsistent audio patterns while using the SRV wave scanner **Station Services** * Increase maximum stored ship limit to 35 to accommodate that we now have more than 30 kinds of ship * Small tweaks for repairing ship paintwork and integrity when they're only very slightly damaged.

so that they don't obscure the GUI panels and generally look more sensible * Remove self destruct option from the right panel when we're docked (we can't self destruct here anyway so the button just doesn't do anything) * Adjusted the heat ring texture to get back some of the glow which had been lost * Fixed LODs on the "Rich" road sections * CPU optimisations around stations and capital ships *

Specifically changed from 2->0.85, which means that 2 pip has an increased damage resistance from 15%->33% (0 pip stays at 0%, 4 pip stays at 60%). This change means that the TTL (Time To Live) increase of each additional half-pip is approximately the same, rather than almost nothing to start and spiking up towards the end, hopefully allowing players to use setups other than 4-SYS with less penalty. Does not affect CQC ships * Fix a muddling of grades on module reinforcements that made them a bit of a newbie trap if you didn't dig deeper - the Es were better than the Ds as they were probably ranked on the wrong primary stat. Increase the health of D class module reinforcements to be the same as what Es currently are (about +140%), and give Es a 10% buff to offset their higher mass * Incremental Railgun buffs: Increased hardness piercing to match plasma accelerators so they do a better job of punching up against large ships.
