Features

New UI Changes
*Looting is now more streamlined: when you bring up the loot page, you can click anywhere outside of the loot window to instantly close it; no more excessive sliding around to click that close button!
*Even better looting enhancement: shift+click over the “loot” button of a completed raid to bypass the looting screen; get your items faster than the speed of light!
*The following UI changes have also been made to the following sections of the game: collecting daily login rewards, collecting facility items, gaining achievements, leveling up, opening grabbags, and obtaining random buy purchases on expeditions.
*Please note that direct purchases of items still have their standard UI.
*You can now purchase things in a quantity of 1000, so now you can buy/hoard your Transfunctioners in a mega bulk!


Expeditions UI + Mystery Pack Updates
*For a better level of transparency, percentages now show in green text on an item’s tooltip within the expeditions, which will determine the chance of acquiring an item on the expedition loot tables.
*Percentages will not show on an item’s tooltip in your inventory/ship pages.
*The drop chance of items increase from left to right, and from top tier to bottom tier (so the top left items would have the lowest chance, while the bottom right items would have the highest).
*In case the tooltip is inaccessible due to positioning issues, the follow percentages are for the seven tier 1 items, starting from left to right:
**New Item Pack: 1.4%, 1.4%, 1.4%, 1.45%, 1.45%, 1.45% and 1.45%
**Relic Pack: 1%, 1%, 1.55%, 1.55%, 1.6%, 1.65%, and 1.65%
**Mystery Pack: 1%, 1%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.6%, 1.65% and 1.65%
*The Mystery Pack table has been updated with several different items; moving forward, we will be updating the Mystery and Relic Packs under a different schedule, rather than simultaneously with a release of New Item Expeditions.
*The direct GS rewards from the Mystery Pack table have been replaced with two grabbags.
*Mysterious Mystery: Tier 2 grabbag at a 2.8% chance which will award players with 50 GS when opened
*Enigmatic Enigma: Tier 1 grabbag at a 1% chance with the possibility of obtaining 1 of 4 different GS awards when opened — 40% for 75GS, 30% for 150GS, 20% for 250GS and 10% for 1000GS.
*Items you do not own yet in the expeditions will be greyed out in the list until it is acquired.


Look Out! Rare Spawn!
*Be on the lookout for the new rare spawn this month: Cerebral CEO!
*''Following a thorough investigation into the Cerebral Destroyer episode, blame was laid at the feet of Nancy Danforth, CEO of the company responsible for creating the monstrous brain and mounting it on a spacecraft. Interstellar warrants are out for her arrest, and it just so happens that you’ve been press-ganged into bringing her in. You hope she’ll come quietly. But in your experience, they seldom do...''
*This rare spawn event will be summoned twice this month.
*Like past rare spawns, this raid is summoned at random and unannounced until the very moment it is live, so log in often and don’t miss your chance at a brand new officer!
*Vera Ploxi is the craftable officer obtainable only from the Engineered Brain Samples dropped from this raid, who has a small chance to deal heavy extra damage against Psychic raids; please see your lab page in the game for additional information.
*This rare spawn raid will be 24 hours long, and have stamina, energy and honor available.
*Cerebral CEO is category normal difficulty, epic size, psychic, organic humanoid, human and female.
*Poster will be made available when the summoning sequence begins: starting with Facebook, then Kongregate, Armor Games and ending with Newgrounds.
