| - Organic and Chitinous Armor's now have a 25% resistance to Psi Damage. |

The number of AI were lowered in response to higher player numbers and player feedback. Numbers remain higher in home servers and numbers still scale - by player number for monsters and NPCs and inversely for factional AI. |

| - Cut down the ECM on the Advanced Worker to 2. |
| - Fixed the Advanced Drone so that it spawns properly now. |
