Introduction

Hello DJB! Your friendly neighborhood Regentman here with a couple of announcements.

Season Item Pricing Error

The Regent’s Office has a policy of doing Quality Control checks on items we release. For one of the Seasons Items, I failed to follow the process and made a pretty substantial error.

The KDR-17 Multi-Ordinance Launcher had an incorrect item type which has drastically impacted the pricing of this item.

Fortunately, only a few people are directly impacted by this error, but I have made the appropriate changes.

For those who have purchased this item, you have been refunded your purchase credits and your items have been removed. You will need to repurchase them. I apologize for the inconvenience and error. I will reach out to you personally via email as well.

Our QC process exists for a reason, failing to follow it appropriately has left me with some serious egg on my face. I sincerely apologize. I have set up a new process to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Phrik Electrostaff

A change has also been made to the Phrik Electro-staff. Instead of being Size 1, this item should have been size 2. This has been adjusted. If you have this item equipped in a current loadout, it will reflect an extra slot. You should regard those loadouts as invalid and update your loadouts when you can.

Upgrades V2 aka Noobigrades

With the bad news out of the way, I am pleased to announce a forthcoming change that will absolutely revolutionize the customizability of Items.

This is a project that was championed by my Predecessor, Anubis, hence the nickname for this project. I’ve been calling this “Noobigrades”. Big shout out to Anubis and Korv who are steering this ship into port.

I am going to give you a very very brief insight into what changes will be coming.

• Upgrades will no longer be limited to items of the same or lower rarity. (You will be able to put an Epic upgrade on an Uncommon item)
• Each upgradable item will be given a single "Upgraded Components" slot for upgrades (exactly like Member Corvettes)
• Rarity will determine the size of the Upgraded Components slot (how many upgrades you can slot into it)
• All upgrades applicable to that item will be able to be slotted in that Upgraded Components slot without restriction (i.e. multiple Space Vehicle Enhancement Upgrades, or multiple Armor Enhancements.)
• This upgrade system revamp will apply to all upgradeable items (Space Vehicles, Land Vehicles, Armor, Droids, Weapons). All upgrades will, by necessity, need to be purchased and slotted into your applicable item (Some already are, like Space Vehicle and Land Vehicle upgrades.)
• Pricing on the armor, weapon and droid upgrades will be rigorously price checked and balanced in accordance.

That’s all I am going to say for now. This change is huge and will forever change how we upgrade our favorite items. This will allow you to truly customize your favorite items. It will take us some time to complete all the necessary groundwork to get this done, so I will keep you updated as this project develops.

That is all until next time!
