TL;DW:
- Event storyline will come back to Stanton in 4.1.
- New B story will be about regen technology starting to fail. This will be just a story thread, won't affect gameplay.
- One of the activities will be mining a new mineral at 2 new Hathor facilities on Daymar and Aberdeen, then delivering them to a research company.
- These new locations are open PvPvE zones.
- To access the minerals players have to:
- Find "control keys" to align the satellite dish.
- Find power banks and transport them to the orbital station.
- Connect the power banks and activate the laser.
- Go back to the surface and fire the laser.
- Be ready for juvenile Valakkars (sand worms) around and inside the new facilities.
- Valakkars attack everyone, neither players nor NPC are safe.
- Cave networks unveiled by shooting the orbital laser contain 3 new mineable minerals.
- First Banu NPC is here, his name is Wikelo.
- Wikelo offers a counter-mission to the research one, offering items for the same minerals.
- There will be three new "Wikelo's Emporium" locations in Stanton. Only trade in items, not money.
- Regen failure storyline is not a lead up towards Death of a Spaceman.
