Update 1.3.06 - incoming

[Jeffers2112]

Just logged on to do a bit more exploring and I was presented with a comms broadcast about the servers going off for an update.
There seems to be a lot of patching going on with this latest release, hopefully they're fixing more bugs....

Seems patch 1.3.06 is incoming.

I wonder what will get broken this time?

This says a lot about FD's credibility with players at the moment. Must admit I'm thinking the same way.

Server change log:

- The popular SideWinder now has a reduced tech level required to produce it, so fewer shipyards should be left empty across the galaxy
- Activated Powerplay effects to make the appropriate Commodities legal or illegal in markets controlled or exploited by Powers. The System - Authorities have been informed about these changes to their prohibited lists.
- Various reliability improvements for exploration scanning and station services

Balance change log:

- The number of votes assigned to players has been increased
- Requirements for fortify and undermine have been increased by 5 times – this is to encourage more tactical play and we believe this will need increasing further but will review on the next cycle.

Thanks!
