PC servers will be taken offline on Thursday, June 6, 2019 at 6:00AM PT for maintenance. Downtime is expected to last up to 3 hours. Misc. Changes, Fixes, and Additions

• Players using Join Combat to travel to a new continent (like in the event that they are leaving a locked continent) will now spawn at the Warpgate, instead of being dropped from orbit without a drop pod. Eventually we'll want to resolve the issue with characters not being mounted correctly, but this is an interim solution until then.
• Cloaked players and objects are now visible on low and very low settings. A separate client-only update will be coming out later in the day with a separate tuning pass on these visuals.
• 3D HUD icons now snap to the correct side of the screen. This was especially noticeable while trying to track aircraft behind you.
• Fixed an issue where continents could get stuck in a st...

• Biolab outposts are now all connected via lattice.

Dev Note: This change seemed to work well on Esamir, and with the new respawn mechanics we've decided to move this change to the remaining continents as well.

• Biolab outposts now have generators stationed next to the teleporter. When overloaded, the teleporters, connected spawn room, and spawn room shield will be disabled.

Dev Note: The intent here is to offer some counterplay to the defenders, allowing them to inhibit spawns directly into the Biolab with some additional effort.

• Terrain on the map screen should no longer appear invisible under certain conditions.
• ...

NS-03 Thumper (New Weapon) We've released the new Thumper heavy grenade launcher to PTS. The Thumper is a Heavy Weapon available as a primary weapon option for the Heavy Assault class. By default this six round grenade launcher lobs anti-infantry fragmentation rounds with moderate damage. Two alternate ammunition types are available:

• Disruptor Ammunition wreaks havoc on electronics, and will drain shield and ability energy a small amount on impact.
• Incendiary Ammunition will ignite nearby infantry, dealing damage over time. (Known issue: DoT is currently not applying, and will ...
