Patch 0.072 - Faction Vendors
This update adds the Halamis faction merchant and the underlying code and systems for faction merchants in general. You can find the merchant near Zabin Morbain in the Halamis Facility Staging area. Faction merchants offer faction equipment and unique armor sets for tokens earned by completing missions throughout the universe. Faction armor is high quality armor and as such requires a good deal of effort to generate enough tokens to outfit your entire team. The Abandoned Research Facility is a great place to run missions and gain faction and tokens to outfit your crew. I'll be adding more equipment and faction armor to the faction merchants across the universe during Alpha. As the story evolves, you may or may not want to be seen wearing the armor of certain factions around the known universe.
ADDED: Halamis faction merchant. You can find the merchant near Zabin Morbain in the Halamis Facility Staging area. FIXED: A rare bug that was causing one enemy type to spawn incorrectly in the facility. FIXED: Duplicate enemy groups in one of the facility locations FIXED: Ammo is once again spawning as loot on the Dauntless. ADDED: Add a ui component that displays your current faction token totals. Open any of the information UI's and rollover the available credits area of the screen. Halamis is the only faction with missions that reward faction tokens at this time. UPDATED: Enemies with rocket launchers will now swap weapons if a combatant is too close instead of blowing themselves and their target up. FIXED: Enemies with missile launchers that swap weapons will now correctly calculate damage from their newly equipped weapon.
ADJUSTED: Increased the value of equipment, both on vendors and as loot. Items that have already been looted have a lower value than items you will loot going forward. The cost of buying equipment from vendors is slightly higher than it was before. ADJUSTED: The cost of standard ammo has been reduced. ADJUSTED: The cost of heavy weapon ammo has been reduced significantly ADDED: 3 new locations for the mission generator. If you find a place where you get stuck, or an enemy gets stuck, please do post a bug report. I'll also need your log file as described in the pinned topic in the bug forums to get it fixed. ADDED: Added a label to indicate that team members can be selected by pressing F1-F4 UPDATED: A number of adjustments to enemy AI that make them more intelligent.

Halamis Faction Merchant
This update adds the Halamis faction merchant and the underlying code and systems for faction merchants in general. You can find the merchant near Zabin Morbain in the Halamis Facility Staging area. Faction merchants offer faction equipment and unique armor sets for tokens earned by completing missions throughout the universe. Faction armor is high quality armor and as such requires a good deal of effort to generate enough tokens to outfit your entire team. The Abandoned Research Facility is a great place to run missions and gain faction and tokens to outfit your crew. I'll be adding more equipment and faction armor to the faction merchants across the universe during Alpha. As the story evolves, you may or may not want to be seen wearing the armor of certain factions around the known universe.
- Items are expensive and quite powerful. The merchant evaluates your current team makeup and presents you with armor tailored for your current level. Check in regularly as your team progresses for better armor with higher AC and stat modifiers.
- Stat bonuses on the armor are set to your team's current level at the time of purchase. I'll eventually add armor set bonuses that provide special effects if you are wearing an entire matching set of the current armor type. Every few levels you should go back and see if you can improve your equipment.
- Even when you outgrow your faction armor set, it has high value at regular merchants and can be sold for a nice profit. You may choose to purchase faction items to use your tokens and convert faction items to credits. When crafting goes in, faction armor can also be disassembled for high quality components.
- Halamis Quantum Trans-locator - Tired of trudging back through the facility or just weighed down by loot? Buy a Quantum Trans-locator from your friendly Halamis merchant! The Halamis Quantum Trans-locator is attuned to the staging area of the abandoned Halamis Research Facility and will relocate your entire team in the blink of an eye! You only need one...
- Halamis Faction Armor - Buy the entire set and get a shiny new look! The merchant knows what you need and the armor offered scales to your level, offering the finest protection available - at least from Halamis!
