Changes The engine sounds for Motherships has been updated. The turret sounds for Motherships and tanks has been updated. The minimum zoom for Mothership turrets has been reduced. The damage type for Quad Wing weapons has been changed from Burn to Electric, in preparation for more general upcoming changes to space combat. MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.

Why do I get the impression the update failed and they've just rolled back to a few minor fixes instead, and are simply not publishing this. Hence the vagaries on the Calypso update and the appearance here that the only person who has actually done anything all year is the sound guy. I wonder if "updated" means fixed? I have a vague recollection that something broke in regard to motherships jumping to hyperspace in silence (physically accurate and all but boring and a bug). But "electric" lasers....? That's a new one...
Yeah they could have just changed it to "particle beams" to boost particle beamer skill. Electric damage doesn't make sense coming from lasers.
