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. ![Smile](/images/icon_smile.gif)

As of Tuesday, the number of freighter ransoms will probably decline.
And by decline, I mean crash.
And by crash, I mean "zero." ![Laughing](/images/icon_lol.gif)

Question, will this now mean that items can also be picked up and ejected while in space and allow transfers to POS structures

I doubt that: even if the pilot drops more than the ransom value in the cans, it will be a ***** to haul off (frieghters can't scoop the loot, so you need to use indies)

How do you know they've forgotten about it or are not working on it?
As far as we know, this may have been a simple change. Would you rather they hold off on the simple stuff while they fix the hard stuff?

The same could be said when _anything_ is fixed. The freighter can-size bug was probably one of the easier ones to do, so they got it out of the way.

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. ![YARRRR!!](/images/icon_pirate.gif)

So this shouldn't happen because there are other things too? *scratches head* ![Question](/images/icon_question.gif)

Probably not.

And if the loot is in Freight Containers, it will make it doubly hard to move it. Especially since freighters cannot loot from space.

And that will be followed by a pack of indies trying to scoop all the cans, while getting popped by other people.![Very Happy](/images/icon_biggrin.gif)

Originally by: Azerrad 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!

oh yay, so now we can haul in something that still can't do squat for a POS, but can now drop cans.
all from a ship with no way to fight back or run at all.
hooray.
maybe in the next update the textures can be changed to this
i'm not trolling....I'm serious. Now freighters get to fear suicide raven squads.

sure...why not. I'm sure a squad of 5 or so would love to escort a freighter making a 30 jump run through empire.
sounds like FUN!
