v18
Added the Fasfasa mission
- Take on a Tri-Tachyon blockade using a prv specops detachment.

Added the At the gates of HEL mission
- Fight for your life as a Rust Belt raid intercepts your trade convoy.

- The Rusters have managed to steal enough phase coils and graviton cores to build their very own Doom knockoff.
- Lacking a standard shield it instead relies on a Gravity Pulse Core for protection.
Added the Plasma Agitators hullmod
- Rare hullmod that can be acquired at the Laboratory Complex.
- Causes Spattergun plasma to explode rather than burn.
-- Don't let the 50% conversion rate fool you; it's quite effective.
Added the Ramshield Adjunct hullmod
- Rare hullmod that can be acquired at the Laboratory Complex.
- A modular version of the Ramshield.
- It places some additional strain on the shield generator, but can be installed on most ships.
Ljus
- Hybrid turret arc reduced to 70°.

Spatterguns, all sizes
- Shield spatter damage type changed to energy.
-- Damage values are unchanged.
Spatterfire
- Damage rate reduced to 2 ticks per second.
-- Armor will be less effective at reducing the damage from heavy burns.
-- Net application rate is unchanged.
-- Exact amount per tick is ((remaining plasma damage * 0,25) + 30) * 0,5
--- Eg. 300 damage stored (one full Spattergun volley) creates damage ticks of 53, 46, 40, etc energy damage (before armor).
Studsare
- Bouncing behavior adjusted - will now behave more closely in line with the "skips on the outside of the shield" concept.
- Seeking behavior toned down, will now aim for new targets in a 45° cone from its impact angle.

- Rate of fire increased by 12.5%.
- Trail size reduced.
Automatstudsare

War Syndicate
- Blueprint can now be acquired.
- Will now continue operating if controlled by a faction that matches one of the following:
-- Are the Rust Belt.
-- Have a Suspicious or better relationship with the pirates.
- Other factions will attempt to shut down the industry as soon as they are able. The success chance is based on market stability.

- Added the "smeltore" console command: instantly performs one week's worth of ore processing.
- Added the "shuffledoctrine" console command: permanently shuffles the specified faction's fleet doctrine.
-- While only intended to be used on the prv, it can be used on any faction. Keep in mind that there is no reset command.
- Added the "syncrusterindustry" console command: forces a synchronization pass on all War Syndicate line industries.
-- Created to aid development. There is no reason to use this in a normal game.
Centered Eldsjäl's rear small turret.
Brand "Standard" variant renamed "Advanced".
Removed errant Kartesch BP tags.
Corrected the engine attachment point for Sidensvans submunitions.
Fixed a bug which would prevent Skrål from using their system while returning to the carrier unless they were the wing leader.
Fixed a bug which would cause the Gravity Shield safety shutoff sound to play at the wrong volume.
Fixed a bug which would cause phased ships or fighters with disabled engines to recieve the wrong collision class when reset from a Tensor Drive effect.
Fixed a bug which could cause a crash if Gravity Shield was used by a ship without a shield.
Fixed a bug which could cause a crash if Disruption Zone was used by a ship without a shield.
Fixed a bug which could cause a crash if a gravitic effect with added damage was applied to a ship without a shield.
Fixed a bug which caused Gravity Shield to display an incorrect statusinfo. Actual flux usage has not changed.
Fixed a bug which caused Remission shells to ignore muzzle the flash particle color of the targeted weapon when choosing effect color.

Improved Ruster Industry Manager code performance.
Added missing Ballebo variants to DSR.
Further reduced the spawn rate of the Gast for prv fleets.
Improved how certain gravitic effects affect certain types of projectiles.
Increased patch note vagarity.
Mod intercompatability
- Added a hullmod whitelist for the Laboratory Complex to ensure that an otherwise hidden or restricted hullmod can show up there.
- Use the "prv_lab_bp" tag to opt in.
- "prv_lab_exclude" opt-out remains.
- Added an optional .faction "custom":{"syndicateName": "your syndicate name here",},
-- Use if you want to specify a syndicate name for a faction. Otherwise one will be picked from the sector-wide name list.
-- Should work with the format "[syndicateName] have established a Raider Base at Umbra" and "There are rumors that [syndicateName] are operating a Raider Base on the Hegemony station of Tigra City."
-- Criminals know no borders.
