What's new?

Loot and mining system have been redone and without going into details, the changes seem to be for the better. The main problem which still has not been addressed is little variation when it comes to the quality of loot depending on mob. What I mean by this is pretty much everything can be easily obtained from many mobs regardless of their difficulty. Take megaloid and extinctor for example. They are both robots and both drop same kind of components/armors but Megaloid is extremely hard to kill whereas Extinctor is killable by pretty much everybody. Losses on megaloid are enormous (healing, regen, ninja spawning) but there is no reward for hunting them. Unfortunately this principle can be applied to other mobs.

With two new armor sets and Tailor NPC the armor crisis in Project Ion is officially over!

Scan tool is a really good addition to the game allowing players to tailor their hunting gear better.

The Final Battle to me is still useless but reducing activity points with every kill is a step forward. The door access logic is still flawed. If you want to fix it please implement the following: they should not open automatically when hacked and access should not depend on rank in society.
