I'm on the beta branch, have been for a while. Fired up Steam today - first time in a couple of days - and got an Empyrion update - 1.5MB. I go in-game and it's showing as version 1.15 release. Ok, so the Beta has gone Live? I didn't see any notification on this.

As v1.15 is now showing as "Release" in the game main menu, under Release Notes, well, I assumed that meant it'd been released. A reasonable conclusion. As a result, I went back to the regular branch. Doing this...

3) Open the control panel go to the Signal Logic window & look for the motion sensor you just

4) Name the sensor signal to anything f.ex: "TP 1" without quotation marks then press enter

My CV turrets are off (note if you don't install a turret in CV turrets wont stay off!) and get shot at.
2. Pirate Rep is neutral but STRY is unfriendly. I'm assuming this is Salurian hence the aggression (both from reststop turrets and guards inside).
3. If you get inside (dodge and shoot style) and get to Barman stage he wont engage because rep is too low.
4. Can't explain rep status as only followed new questline....does it require doing all UCH stages...

While dismantling the POI "Crashed DSE-2 Front", I used "Show on HUD" to mark all Thrusters as usual.

I recovered several of these before my HV was full and I offloaded them back at base a few KM away. I then returned for the remaining Thrusters.

However, upon recovering (Retrieve Blocks) the additional thrusters, the HUD Markers remained. This is of course how the game used to work a while back, which is odd as I've recovered various devices from POIs and the HUD marker...

1. Token
You can now dynamically create an item that can have a certain code attached (called "meta" now). This meta can be created by a console command ( ' give ' ) or by other game events, via PDA, Dialogue system etc and primarily serves as a Keycard with a fixed code. You can set any device that is supporting a lock code to ask for a token with that lock code instead. There is only one lock code item...

• Added the ‘Drone Bay’: You can now craft and place the Drone Bay and equip it with Defense Drones. A Drone Bay Spawner is required for starting the drones.

My only gripe was the Abandoned POI (the one based on the missile base) on Akua. It's a great POI, enjoyed doing it (though got confused by the yes/no buttons around the rock fall - thought one was yes, the other no). However, it is positively dripping in loot - I walked out of there with Optronic matrices, epic weapons and huge...
