Post by Tyclo » Wed Feb 19, 2020 2:39 am

There’s trouble on Taanab!

Chapter 1 brings a mass of new content to Sentinels Republic.

Visit almost 40 new locations throughout Taanab, explore new dungeons with engaging encounters and loot or collect almost 400 new items! 12 new craftable weapons, 6 new compact harvesters, new craftable speeders, purchase new loot kits in Pandath and parts looted throughout all of Taanab. Player city Bazaars have been added as well as new craftable decorations for cities and many new schematics for crafters.

New tools are available, such as the UniTech Installation Beacon, Gowix Harvester Extractor, Sarlacc Trash Can and the Duplicator Prototype. Loot Data Disks throughout the galaxy and combine them in the Duplicator Prototype to obtain new rewards.

Many new quality of life changes have been added, including many fixes and improvements to existing content. Both item and slayer collections have been completely revamped, with new item collections added.

Read the full patch notes below:

Taanab:
  • New and Updated Locations:
    • Pandath
      • Revisit the bustling city of Pandath. See new sights and explore the expanded city.
    • Taanab Vista Plateau
      • See the scenic view around the Canyon lands of Taanab. Be careful of the danger that lurks below.
    • Taanab Defense Force
      • Only the TDF can keep Taanab safe from the Norulac Raiders! Their outpost on Taanab is at the forefront of keeping the Taanabian industry working!
    • Abandoned Storehouse
      • It’s rumored that a once famous crime syndicate figured head stored his most valuable possession on Taanab. Only a few know the location.
    • Surveyor’s Guild
      • Taanab is a planet rich with minerals, these rare materials must be found before they can be extracted. This is the job of the Taanabian Surveyor’s Guild, which searches the planet 46 hours a day, 594 days a year!
    • Abandoned Research Facility
      • Something went horribly wrong! They’ve escaped! Infesting the canyon lands and decimating the planet’s ecosystem!
    • Roba Cave
      • Those pesky roba! They’re worthless I tell yah.
    • Three New Exploration Badges
    • 25 other new locations!
      • Taanab is now littered with points of interest. Some host new enemies to fight, others are worth seeking just for their view.
  • New Dungeons:
    • Hydro Station
      • Taanab is the breadbasket of the the galaxy, with the widest variety of agriculture exports available anywhere in the inner rim. The one thing keeping the crops harvested and the galaxy fed is electric power, lots of it. The primary hydroelectric power station on Taanab has been holding the agricultural industry hostage, with no way to power the harvesters crop are withering on the vine. Location the Hydro Station, fight your way through their security system, level by and level. Then find Upe Aizsprostota, the Hydro Station Corp’s director and have a “word to word” with them.
    • Taanab System Excavations (TSE) Cave
      • TSE has been mining in the Taanab system for some time, but a particular quarry of theirs has had some trouble as of lately. Some say what they are doing is illegal, other’s just want them gone.

    • Norulac Freebooter Cave
      • The Norulac Freebooters have a hideout somewhere on Taanab. Their security is tight, ruffing up some of the groups members may be your only way to make it through their defenses.
  • New Encounters:
    • Tanrats
      • These nasty reptiles are escaped Tanrays which have called Taanab home. Their release on Taanab was an accident, the Tanrats escaped from a crashed cargo ship and have since started to overrun the planet.
    • Invasive Species Survey Drone
      • An Elite probot found on Taanab, its primary function was to stop the spread of non-native species, but it has since started targeting citizens.
    • Arcon Multinode
      • Employees of the Arcon Multinode Agricorp can now be found wandering Taanab.

The Sarlacc Trash Can is no ordinary Sarlacc; place it in your inventory and feed it some junk and it will instantly consume the toughest items. The Sarlacc Trash Can is so hungry, it works in your house! Now you can leave your Sarlacc Trash Can in your home and destroy items without picking the Sarlacc Trash Can up! To show the power of the Sarlacc Trash Can I fed it 10 junk items! Broken datapads, simple shirts, scout pistols, recording rods, hot pants, janta knifes, exceptional red wiring!
