New Continent
Hossin: Explore a brand new continent with over 80 new bases in a brand new biome.

Continent Locking:

 * Continents can now be locked to a conquering empire in one of two ways:
 * Dominate the continent by owning at least 94% of the territory
 * Win an alert
 * When a continent locks, the conquering empire automatically captures all remaining regions on the continent
 * All players on the locked continent will be prompted to redeploy to another continent.
 * A maximum of 2 continents can be locked at any one time.
 * Whenever a continent is locked the oldest existing locked continent will automatically unlock.
 * A Continent Benefit is now only active while the continent is locked.
 * Continent Benefits have changed:
 * Amerish gives -50% Infantry Purchases (up from -10% Aerospace Purchases)
 * Esamir gives -50% Mechanized Purchases (up from -10% Mechanized Purchases)
 * Indar gives -50% Aerospace Purchases (up from -10% Infantry Purchases)
 * Hossin gives +25% XP (new)
 * To accommodate continent locking, Global Alerts have been removed from the game, meaning every alert is now specific to a continent
 * When a continent is unlocked the warpgates on that continent will rotate, and territory will be reset to a default starting configuration for each warpgate.
 * Warpgates will no longer rotate every other week and are now exclusively rotated via continent locking.

Outfits Recruiting:

 * Do you run an outfit? Looking for some new blood? List your outfit in the brand new recruiting system.
 * Are you looking to join an outfit? Want to meet some new friends? Find an outfit to join in the brand new recruiting system.
 * To list your outfit go to the outfit screen and there is a Manage Recruitment button.
 * To view recruiting outfits, go to the outfits button on the social tab. On the main page is a button to find an outfit.

Outfit Decals:

 * Your outfit can now select a decal to represent yourselves.
 * Purchase Infantry or Vehicle Outfit decals in their Depot categories for 100 SC or 250 Certs
 * Equip like a normal decal. If you’re in an outfit and the outfit has a decal selected, the decal will display as the selected decal.
 * If you’re not in an outfit, the decal will not display.

Outfit Base Capture:

 * When your outfit captures a base your outfit’s decal will be displayed on the faction banners at the base, on the scoreboard, and on the map.
 * An outfit is recognized as being the captors by being the highest scoring outfit during the base’s capture
 * For now, this score is simply the cumulative score of the outfit members that participated in the base capture (i.e. the scores that are displayed on the scoreboard).

Misc:

 * The descriptions on the Medical Applicator now list the hotkeys required for healing and reviving.
 * Adjusted ranges of “Enter Vehicle” and “Equipment Terminal” interactions on Sunderer.
 * Change reduces overlap and is intended to reduce the chances of accidentally triggering the interaction you don’t want.
 * When the vehicle is deployed, you will need to get closer to the terminal and closer to the vehicle.
 * When the vehicle is undeployed there should be no change in the enter vehicle interaction.
 * A lattice link has been added between TI Alloys and Ceres Hydroponics on Indar.

Bug Fixes:

 * Desynch fix for multiple situations.
 * Fixed focus issues with the chat window after hitting escape.
 * Fixed an issue where thermal optics for the Dual-75 Duster were not set up like other belly guns.
 * The TR Honeycomb camo will now scale correctly.
 * Updated the descriptions for Liberator belly weapons to be more accurate with recent changes.
 * The unpurchasable magazine size certification should no longer appear for the Hyena Missile Launcher.
 * Camo will now apply correctly to the Bruiser Plating and Scrapper Vanguard attachments.
 * Kills caused by explosions will no longer grant double experience.
 * Equipping the Ammunition Package during a weapon reload will no longer skip the reload animation.
 * Adjusted the Ammunition Package so that it it less likely to continuously shake when thrown on uneven terrain.
 * Fixed an issue where tank reverse turning speed would change when toggling the ‘Invert Reverse Steering for Tanks’ option.
