Two new news items to announce this evening. First, Tranquility will be down for an extended maintenance period on Wednesday, 05 July at 1100 GMT. This is a departure from our normal Tues/Thurs schedule because of the US holiday and vacation of our DB admin.
The second news item concerns testing and deployment of a change to freighters. What is this change? Read the news item to find out.

hauling corporations are heralding this as a major improvement to their profit margin.
Hehe, really don't think it's good news for haulers 
Knowing what pirates are like, they were going to blow up freighters anyway, so it's more good news for pirates, but not really bad news for freighter pilots.

Kieron > don't get this the wrong way but are you going mad? There's heaps of other stuff to fix and put in game that was forgotten ...
So this shouldn't happen because there are other things too? *scratches head*

Actually pirates will now stop ransoming freighters just to get thier stuff so we should see more frieghter destructions with this change.
Well, that's cool too. Big explosions.

I like this new method of announcing updates. News items seem much more interesting that patch notes.
I am going to start using RP news for notification of some of the changes to the game. I couldn't justify putting the Ice Field depletion and proposed Freighter changes on their own patch note page, especially since they are/were hotfixes and the client version did not change. Making a forum post will fall out of the community awareness due to forum traffic, RP news tends to stay on the announcements page longer and I honestly have fun writing them.
Community response has been favorable to the style, so expect to see more announcements of this sort. Thanks for the feedback!

As POTUS pointed out, the deployment has been delayed. Please discuss this further in the new announcement thread. Locking this topic.
