Introducing a New Rogue Crew Pack!

- Demolition Squad
- NEW Legendary version of Dead-Eye Destroyers
- NEW Rare version of Grease Monkeys
- NEW Rare version of Demolition Squad
- NEW Rare version of Free Rangers
- RECENTLY BUFFED Dead-Eye Destroyers

Like with the Elite x3 Pack, at least 1 crew is guaranteed to be Rare or higher. Additionally, players get a total of 5 crews from the pack, not just 3.
We have removed wharf rats and lucky bastards from ALL packs as these crews are so outdated that they are essentially worthless.
The goal of these changes is to clean up the useless stuff and make crews more accessible, especially for pvp.
Free Rangers and Midnight Marauders Bug Fixed. These crews, along with Grease Monkeys, provide % damage reduction depending on how much health is missing from a hull. When combined with % damage reduction from survival, everything is ok (that’s why there are no changes needed for Grease Monkeys); however, when combined with straight % Defense as on the new T12 Conquerors, things got funky. Instead of combining multiplicatively as usual (50% defense and 50% defense = 25% damage taken) the two values were being added. This means that low health ships could become nearly invincible, save for the 1% guaranteed passthrough. This has been fixed so that the text descriptions are now accurate. While Free Rangers and Midnight Marauders won’t perform quite the same as before, we’ve buffed them a little to soften the change. Near death, a ship will now gain 60% Defense instead of 52% Defense from Free Rangers and 30% Defense instead of 20% Defense from Midnight Marauders.
Happy Hitting!
