Been playing the new expansion on the test server. They have gotten most of the bugs worked out that I can see so far. The new systems they have entered are awesome. Sleeper technology and the reverse engineering I have not played too much with ... yet.
Scanning has undergone drastic changes to a triangulation based system vice the chance based it had before. Takes a little getting used to and trial and error, but, I have gotten it down to around 3-5 minutes for the easy localles and around 10 minutes for harder to hit sites. A little more trial and error and I should have those down too.
The wormhole space injects cosmic interferences that can help or hurt your ship, the last one I went into nearly doubled my shields and with my gang bonuses, I went from 13k to 22.5K shields and a command ship with 80% + resists all around

Made them easy to tank. even had 3 Battleships on me at one point, they were chewing thru the tank, but with a little assistance from a gang mate, we took them down. All in all, the site we ran would have been worth around 100M so its gonna be lucrative if any want to help.
Apocrypha goes live this week on tuesday. As always, have a long skill in play before patch day.
