-Added new bounty functions that gradually improve a bountied target's PR toward zero if downed and the bounty is collected.
-Corrected a problem that had been preventing defense droid kill penalties and kill message displays probably since Episode2 or prior.
-TRI now deducts a bounty from the bountied pilot's account to reimburse the faction when the bounty is collected.
-Pilots with a bounty are no longer permitted to use /give. Pilots who kill a bountied squadmate are no longer awarded the bounty. These changes were necessary to limit exploits.
-Corrected an oversight that created the appearance that a pilot had no bounty with negative PR but only newbie equipment.
-Added FuelScoop MODx to provide the equivalent of "puring" for resources not available in pure asteroids. Some other hard-to mine commods also included. Check JOSSH or the item description for info.
-Fixed an issue with a GM command for POS that was caused by revisions to POS location handling code from the 1.0096 patch.

-Corrected remaining gate linkage issues in flux space.
-Fixed a problem with interaction between the Trade and Linkup screens that could interrupt a trade and prevent it from being resumed.
-Corrected an old issue in Simulator that resulted in pilots erroneously displaying a title.
-Fixed a sound issue that was affecting static objects. Under specific conditions the issue was able to cause CTDs.

-Increased the ranking payouts for Ranks 1-9, to begin addressing the lowbie cash deficiency. Likewise altered and rebalanced the starting credits for new pilot accounts.
-Lowered ship hull prices for the Rank 3 and Rank 6 ships.
-Altered ship stats on several Rank 0, Rank 3, and Rank 6 ships, most particularly mass, drag, and engine types, to make these ships more friendly to new pilots. Speed especially was added to reduce new player boredom.
-Performance was altered on several sz1 engines (Mitoria, Mitoria Plus, PCE-1) as balance considerations for the lowbie ship adjustments.
-Adjusted gun hardpoints on the Intruder (Sol HF) for a tighter shot pattern.
-Shepherd engine performance was increased and the little-used Travant Plus was converted from sz2 to sz3 and given new stats. Anyone with Travant Plus engines mounted at time of patch should contact support.
-Created a new Flight Registry restricted to non-reset pilots of Rank 0-8. These pilots are now marked with a shield icon in the HUD.
-Kills of a player protected under the New Pilot Registry will NOT increment the killer's factional kill stats. Obsessive statpadders are thus encouraged to ignore newbies.
-Added new "TIPS" channel, like KTRI, which broadcasts a selection of hints and tips to lowbie pilots flagged with the new Flight Registry.
-Reorganized mentor medal allocation to correct the system and remove clutter: "Cross of the Preceptor" now is a 10x indicator for "Cross of the Mentor".
-Mentoring for a lowbie pilot now concludes at Rank 9 instead of Rank 10. The small xp award for receiving the Cross of the Mentor medal has been increased.
-Terminated jelly spawns in station sectors. Jellies will enter the regular spawn rotation when spawn systems change in an upcoming patch.
-Disabled combat mission availability for Rank 0 pilots, who do not spawn conflux.
-Altered the repercussions for docking at a station where you possess negative PR. Armor is no longer removed. Ammo guns are not armed if you have severely negative PR (<= -60).
-Added further restrictions on the use of /vouch. /vouch is no longer available at Rank 49. /vouch now requires spending xp, representing "factional clout". It will NOT be possible to lose rank by using this tool.
-Rewrote bounty calculations. Bounty payments will tend to be more substantial than previously. Pilot rank and the observer are no longer directly related to the observed bounty. JOSSH will contain complete information.
-Resolved problem where the observed bounty on a targetted pilot disagreed with the amount received if that pilot was downed.
-Fixed major bug where a pilot displaying a temp bounty being downed caused the pilot who downed him to receive a permanent bounty and negative PR.
-Added new functionality to allow Tag changes, due to kills or piracy for instance, to propagate in flight and be correctly visible to others without a pilot needing to dock first.
-Adjustments to HUD in simulator: Tags now visible but still have no effect, pilots labelled "Sim", not "Ally", no bounties visible, bug causing incorrect Titles on all sim pilots (which apparently has existed since game release) eliminated.
-Identified and fixed reported problem with flux spawn loop that was indeed preventing all spawns for pilots of rank below 10.

-Addressed a login bug/exploit reported by EU.
-Manually adjusted physical coordinates of objects in the Docking Matrix simulator.
-Attempted to address the "gate-flicker" phenomenon common to most ATI cards. Testing on a non-comprehensive set of hardware provided encouraging results.
-Repair beams no longer affect conflux hulls, which should have always been the case.
-Adjusted the fix for flux spawn information transfer issues from last patch, which turned out to be incomplete.
-Revised the conflux spawn mechanism to help mitigate transfer issues. Jump-time spawns are now delayed a few seconds after a pilot enters a sector.
-Corrected a problem which allowed the new inflight (ore depot) missions to cause a CTD when a pilot with one of these missions opened the regular Mission screen in a station.
-Fixed a problem with Docking Beacon HUD text when using 2D text settings.

-Added code to prevent an exploit that could be used to fool unregulated stations into providing missions, among other things.
-Added shiptype information to the HUD information displayed when Naval Yards are targetted. This information will allow future strategic targetting of Naval Yards.
-Attempted a sound fix to correct issue with certain effects playing even when the effects volume was set to zero.
-Added serverside data structures to support future changes in the areas of conflux spawns and the warfare system.
-Addressed problem with conflux collisions and POS dating from Episode 2 release: Conflux now collide with and attempt to avoid POS.
-Conflux gunfire now collides with POS. Some cosmetic issues remain.
-Addressed a problem caused by timing of information transfer when a flux spawns. Problem became apparent when spawn camping was made possible in a prior patch.
-Altered conflux collision avoidance processes slightly to address problems caused by interaction with POS. This is temporary pending rewrite of flux behavior.

-Fixed problem preventing display of Ore Depot messages involved with the recent Depot mission feature for haulers.
-Addressed missile code glitch caused by work in patch 1.0093.
-Adjusted conflux targetting algorithm to make the aim of laser weapon flux less perfect, but still challenging.
-Corrected bug which caused a CTD in the offline sim if the pilot struck the station.
-Added a GM tool to spawn defense droids as needed for RP events.

-Fixed old bug that prevented deployment of defense droids when a pilot entered a station sector where he has an extremely negative PR.
-Adjusted PR award for sector claims downward in preparation for other changes to the claims system in upcoming patches.
-Addressed an issue that was apparently causing extra delays in the transfer of information about activating a flashfire to other clients.
-Corrected a problem which would cause a player to receive a temp bounty if a Drop Tank is used while another player is targetted.
-Temporarily revised spawn-on-jump mechanisms to generate a number of flux between zero and the former maximum.
-Revised timed spawn mechanisms to prevent a possible condition that could have allowed a sector to exceed its limit of active flux. Unknown what bugs could have been caused by this.
-Linked conflux swarm growth and numbers to online player numbers. Should now see a few more, but smaller, swarms.
-Implemented a simple swarm indicator for the in-game map.
-Altered general text updates about swarms to appear in more limited circumstances. Rigged a new update for sectors containing subspace tranceivers.
-Docking rings will now appear in yellow if velocity is too high to dock. This is meant as a small visual aid to new pilots.
-Implemented a preliminary set of stat changes to conflux. More complete changes will occur in an upcoming patch.
-Added a constraint to the "/vouch" feature requiring the recipient to also be docked at a TRI station.
-Addressed another chat system bug that caused some necessary feedback messages to not appear.

-Corrected a CTD problem caused by targetting an incomplete building which resulted from a building tube render fix for the HUD in 1.0093.
-Attempted to eliminate the 5-character chat channel entry exploit while retaining ability to enter channel and send message in the same line.

-Addressed remaining gate-layering issues due to recent render changes.
-Adjusted server chatlogging functions to provide for easier moderation and enforcement efforts.
-Added new moderator functions for GMs, to help with enforcement efforts.
-Implemented a new command for the US server to reduce time taken by Themis GMs to do certain administrative tasks.
-Added new slash command "/vouch ", only available to rank 49 & 50 pilots. This allows an Optimus/Alterion to sacrifice PR to improve another pilot's PR with the high-ranker's faction.
-Changed PR decay system slightly: negative PR will now automatically decay only up to -60.
-Altered the ship explosion graphics so that the texture used is appropriate to the object exploding.
-Adjusted food/water and ammo/armor/fuel portions of the consumption code. Amounts consumed should both be lower and more accurately based on player activity.
-Enabled toggling system for ECM use. Antiradars may be toggled. Antiflux and Whistle are "always on" until changes pending in conflux project patch can be completed.
-Added new Jammer ECM device for use against missiles. All ECM use defaults to the 'X' key. The Jammer drains power while active for 10 seconds and has a 90 second delay before re-use.
-Converted the PWD100 MODx to an ECM type device. Use of the PWD consumes a burst of power and some fuel (for the plasma), and has a 30 second recharge delay.
