[h=2]Make Up is back![/h] The make up system is now fully reimplemented, with some nifty new features to boot!
To apply make up to a Make Up Mask you need the mask itself and make up like e.g. Face Paint, Lipstick and Eye shadow (all referred to as brushes). You can however practice using brushes without the mask.
Starting a make up session You can start a make up session on yourself from the context menu of any make up-related item in the inventory or use the "Start Make Up" action.
To make sure your make up mask will look good on another avatar, you can request a make up session by right-clicking him/her and selecting "Start Make Up"!from the context menu or aiming at him/her and use the "Start Make Up" action.
To end a session, close the Make Up panel or use the "Abort Make Up Session" action.

Interface The Make Up panel is shown when a session is started and has controls for brush size and Undo/Redo. Actions such as Increase/Decrease Brush Size are mapped under Action Set 6 as default (if you don't want to reset your action settings, you need to map them manually). The camera will automatically zoom in on the target avatar's face when a session is started.

Using Brushes During a make up session, brushes can now be selected by double-clicking on the brush item in the Inventory.
You can also drag brushes to the Keyboard Map/Desktop like a normal tool or garment for quicker access.
Simply press the left mouse button to apply the selected make up where desired.

Undo/Redo Not happy with those last brushstrokes? Use the buttons in the Make Up panel or Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y to undo/redo your work.

Misc The cost for applying make up to a Make Up Mask is, as before, based on the materials used and the transfer (upload) cost of the finished texture.
Once make up is applied to a mask, it cannot be removed.
Finished Make Up Masks can be traded via auction or private trade.!
So go ahead, gather your masks and brushes and get creative!

The number of tokens needed to buy an item can fluctuate with supply and demand.

Space

Space has been rescaled. Vehicle speed and fuel consumption has been adjusted to better fit the new conditions.

Warp Speed

To improve possibilities of traveling over the increased distances, we invented a warp drive device, that you can add to the vessels engineering interface. The warp drive device will deteriorate with every use independently of distance traveled.

!
Activate and use warp speed:

1. Activate warp drive from pilot seat.
2. Select any position in space you want to travel to.
3. The ship prepares for warp speed for 30 seconds. If being attacked, or attacking, during this period, the warp speed will abort.
4. The ship enters warp speed.

When traveling in warp speed the journey will go through a set of warp speed route points to the desired destination.


Warp Mines

In order to stop vessels traveling in warp speed warp mines can be dropped.

Warp mines can be dropped from smaller vessels and will be active for a limited amount of time only.
!
The success rate of bringing a ship out of warp speed depends on:

• Placement of the Warp Mine.
• The level of the Warp Mine.
• Warp drive level of the target vessel.
• Captain skills on target vessel.

Fixed issues in space

• Space has been updated with better graphics and more space mobs.
• When dodging shots in space, the pilot will gain skills in captain profession.
• Space station safe zones now have equal distances to planet teleportation zones.
• All motherships and privateers will be moved to the closest space station.
• Added target markers for creatures in space.
• Home visualization in the Map UI is updated more often for motherships. This location can be viewed by mothership guests and mothership deed managers no matter where they are.
• As a passenger in a mothership, privateer or if you are on a space station, you can now see where the ship (or space station) is located in space in the Map UI. Remember to select Space in the Map UI drop-down list.
• When destroying a small vessel, the avatar's hit points are reduced to 10.
• As a holder of a deed for privateer/mothership you are now allowed to enter the ship without claiming it.
• Fixed issues with crosshair in mothership's gunner seat.
