• When at least one Shipcaster Beacon is connected to the Shipcaster, it will become possible for Capsuleers enlisted with the Gallente to jump through the shipcaster
  

With the big 4 empires having successfully completed their shipcaster projects, the Shadow War is coming to a close.

• The empires have expressed low interest in conducting additional research into Stellar Transmuter and TransportRrelay technology, and have spooled down most of their research programs, additionally, mercenaries are no longer being offered lucrative contracts to raid these locations, as such, Research Data Nodes, Waylaid Couriers and Besieged Laboratory sites will no longer appear.

Audio:

• Sound effects from NPCs, especially the radio-chatter sound are no longer sticking around after the NPCs have been killed.

• Mining drones will now record their progress on the current asteroid they've been mining if they're sent to mine another asteroid.

• Both of these defect fixes will result in far less mining missions being incompleteable due to not enough ore. Ore can still be lost if the drones are destroyed or your cargo/mining hold is full.

• Refitting a Strategic Cruiser with the fitting window will now correctly swap out the rigs.

• Fixed an issue where Null Security Blue A0 Sun Asteroid Belts had a chance to spawn in Jove space, which caused one or two sites a week to appear in an inaccessible solar system. They will now only spawn in player accessible nullsec.
