Regent Report #5: Manufacturing Efficiency

Regent_Banner

Hello all,

This report includes the Order of the Fallen Mandalorian Update content drop. Additionally, we have implemented a slotting system for Combat Droids so that weapons can be placed directly onto the droid and not take up your Loadout slots. More on this below.

For this drop, I will NOT be placing the Item Stores into a Maintenance Window. We pre-staged the items and have mass granted them without interrupting the user experience. That's neat!

Other than that, I'd like to thank everyone that applied for Magistrate. It wasn't easy pickings. We ended up going with Kano Tydex and Farrin as our picks. Based on their applications, we can expect they'll get into the nitty gritty of the spreadsheets and projects and really push our progress. I'm looking forward to it.

New Additions

Antares Consolidated Armorers

Imperial Purge Trooper Armor
The Imperial Purge Trooper Armor is an incredibly rare, complete full-body enclosed armor worn by the Inquisitorius' expendable death squad. It is a specialized form of black Phase II Clone Trooper Armor that has minor resistance to lightsabers. Some have a red and black shoulder pauldron or kama and adorned with several red and/or silver designs, with its black helmet similar to that of Clone Paratroopers but with a crimson visor.


Imperial Inquisitor Armor
The Imperial Inquisitor Armor is a Medium Armor designed with a sinister appearance to inspire fear in the enemy. A black medium plated armor or heavy set of robes with armor plating is almost always accompanied by a helmet with a red visor that shields the identity of the wearer. Imperial Inquisitor Armor was frequently worn by the Empire's Inquisitorius while hunting down Jedi during the Jedi Purge.


Mandalorian Heavy Infantry Armor
The Mandalorian Heavy Infantry Armor is a variant of Mandalorian Armor that shares the same style as it's lighter counterparts, but is built more heavily. It consists of a helmet, shoulder pauldrons, wrist gauntlets, breastplate, codpiece, knee pads, as well as leg guards all clasped over a full body glove that provides both comfort and protection. The helmet possesses an iconic T-shaped visor as well as an antenna tipped with a macrobinocular rangefinder that can be pulled over the viewplate.

Antei Armaments

Amban Sniper Rifle
The Amban Sniper Rifle is a specialized Blaster Sniper Rifle capable of electrocuting, shooting, and vaporizing enemy targets. It uses large quantities of blaster or Tibanna gas, many more times than a standard blaster weapon. The front of the rifle is double-pronged, able to act as a melee range taser and deliver a strong shock to targets. For medium to long ranges it features a regular firing blaster mode, and could also be loaded with a single-shot gas cartridge to fire a devastating beam that disintegrates a target on contact. The Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin used one of these rifles.


Electrobaton
The Electrobaton is a one-handed blunt weapon composed of a black metal handle shaft with a switch and dial, and has a power cell attached to the base. Attached at the top of the weapon is a small extendable shaft through which a middling electromagnetic charge is run, allowing the blunt striking end to deliver a powerful stun on contact - but is not strong enough to stand up to a lightsaber. Some of these weapons were used by Imperial Scout Troopers during the Jedi Purge.


Purge Electrobaton
The Purge Electrobaton is a one-handed blunt weapon composed of a sword-shaped shaft attached to a black metal handle with a switch, and has a power cell attached to the base. A deadly electromagnetic charge is run from the top of the handle up to the top of either side of the striking area, making the weapon capable of blocking a lightsaber. Some of these weapons were used by Imperial Purge Troopers during the Jedi Purge.


Purge Electrohammer
The Purge Electrohammer is a large two-handed weapon composed of two metal shafts attached at the bottom and the top near a thin hammer-like striking head, with a cylindrical power cell attached to the base of one of the weapon's shafts. A deadly electromagnetic charge is run from the base of the weapon up the forward shaft and across the front of the hammer head, making the weapon capable of blocking a lightsaber. When the hammer-head is swung at the ground, it emits a powerful shockwave upon impact that can stun enemies. Some of these weapons were used by Imperial Purge Troopers during the Jedi Purge.


RIA Repulsor Throwing Razor
The RIA Repulsor Throwing Razor is a ranged weapon that consists of a serrated, crescent shaped blade designed to be thrown at a target. It incorporates both a small repulsor engine to further increase its range and stability, and a homing beacon that endows it with a "boomerang effect" to return to its owner.

Item Updates

  • Merr-Sonn SX-21 Scatterblaster
    • After receiving many health comp requests due to incorrect slotting size, it's been determined giants shouldn't be used when determining how many slot values. Scatterblaster is now 2 slots instead of 1.
  • Synergy Vibro-claw Talon Gloves
    • When standing in a line-up with its friends, it was determined that one of these things is not like the others. Instead of raising the slot size from 1 to 2, and thus ruining loadouts for a great many, this item has had its name and description updated to reflect a single glove.
  • Imperial Purge Trooper Armor
    • The Imperials really shouldn't put out trooper types with the same name. It's really confusing. The former Imperial Purge Troopers are now just Purge Troopers to make way for the new Imperial Purge Troopers.
  • Kalevalan Star Yacht
    • The yacht was hiding a retractable secret inside. No longer bashful, the turrets have been added alongside a hardpoint.

Droid Slots

For the sake of user experience, we have applied the same slotting concept to Droids that we did for Upgrades. That means, when looking at Combat Droids specifically, you can now slot weapons into them under the same principle as your own Loadout bar. However, not all Droids are made equal so some special cases have been identified that are the exception to the following rule.

Combat Droid Slotting Rule
* Common: No slotting
* Uncommon: 2 Weapon Slots (Blasters/Slugthrowers)
* Rare: 2 Weapon Slots (Blasters/Slugthrowers/Bladed/Blunt)
* Epic: 3 Weapon Slots (Blasters/Slugthrowers/Bladed/Blunt/Explosives)
* Legendary: 4 Weapon Slots (Blasters/Slugthrowers/Bladed/Blunt/Explosives)

This implementation is now in effect.

AWESOME!!!

cool stuff.

I like the change to droid weapons. Actually I am liking what all I am seeing. I hope to see some awesome things from the office of the Regent. (And you all have yet to disappoint)

Ooooo! That is fancy! And pre-vetted too! ^^

Exciting!

Moar content. :D

Yay! Chirodactyls!

Great update you guys!

Nice work guys. And congrats to the new Ms!

Any chance the Beskar armor will make an appearance?

I love all the new content!

The ACC Guide section on Droids has been updated to reflect this new possessions capability.

Droids can use any weapon that is built into the droid itself (as reflected in the droid's item description) or slotted into the droid's weapon item slots. Droids that are capable of wielding weapons can pick up and use appropriate weapons from other characters or the environment in the same manner as a player character but this must be accounted for within the text of the match. In other words, if the droid is using a weapon that is not built-in or slotted you have to depict or tell the audience how the droid got the weapon.
