Bug fixes

• Fix for Matrix tooltips appearing behind other UI elements.

• Fix for turning off Dragon hover switching Overseer aim mode to ADS.

Changes and additions

• Jin-Sec dropship deployment WIP, AKA part 1 of the spawn proper spawn system (note that this will likely have issues and require iteration plus some of the testmaps aren't really designed with them in mind, especially Testmap 4).

  • On team modes Jin-Sec will only deploy in the dropships (Onryo will still use old FFA spawning until the spider tank and map changes are in).

  • Can fire and use devices freely from the dropships but you are unable to move.

  • Launching from the dropship can be initiated by pressing the jump key at any point.

  • On launching gain Hyper for 5 seconds and the safe fall buff (dropship deployments do not gain Shroud).

  • Safe fall allows you to fall with reduced gravity and no fall damage. It is cancelled by using any aerial movement or Hover.

  • While in the dropship or with safe fall you take reduced damage.

  • Out of bounds limits are removed while safe falling and for a short duration after it ends.

  • On FFA modes they become additional spawn points for all players.

• Additional FFA spawn rules implemented. Should no longer spawn when in line of sight of another player (doesn't apply to dropship spawns), and should no longer be able to spawn on a spawnpoint in use.

• Some more gunfire audio cpu optimisation and EQ adjustments (some may sound a little different, hopefully clearer, but will be an ongoing process throughout Early Access).

• Body 150 bonus changed to give Hyper for 2.5 seconds on aux depletion, cooldown from 5 > 10 seconds (already had some overlap).

• Ghost Opportunity gains/retains Amplify for duration (to make it more clear that it is active as it's Ghosts core combat mechanic).

• Ghost Body spec now clears all debuffs on camouflage activation (not just Burn) but with a 10 second cooldown.

• Ghost Hardware spec now applies Desync+ to all enemies within 25 meters, even obstructed.

• Landing / climb start momentum fade duration from 1 > 2 seconds (keep speed for longer).

• A little bit of experimentation for visuals to help convey the speed players are actually moving (subject to change).

Bug fixes

• Fix for Concussive impulse restoring more defense than intended.

• Fix for Shell Shock damage over time counting as direct damage.

• Fix for Tech spec Rhino defense regen bypassing Burning and Corrode.

Changes and additions

• Quick pass on optimised distant gunfire and explosion audio. (Potential FPS gains during busy servers, plus a little more atmospheric).

• WIP Jin-Sec drop ship added, plus some audio and VFX in preperation for team spawns.

• Knockdown min distance for manuevers from 2 > 2.5 meters (slightly less easy to knockdown).

• Certain Nano-Wire interactions are now prevented by player blocking (if player is in the way the interaction icon will disappear. Doesn't apply to interactions already connected).

• Primed assets are a little more obvious on the Matrix.

• Bolster and Hyper moved to Body foundation.

• Couple of changes that have been a long time coming:

  • Combusts increased defense damage from 50 > 25%.

  • Specialist reduced weapon handling penalties from 50 > 25%, on kill bonuses from 5 > 10 seconds, no longer limits to 1 device but increases device cooldowns by 50%.
