What else is the Mission Feature Team working on for 3.18?

TL;DRThe team is changing Kareah and crime handling so lower crimes can be paid off while higher CrimeStats have fewer places to clear, hopefully making Kareah a PvP hotspot, with other law changes like landing with CS1 or 2.

Well, we have some big changes coming to Kareah that someone on our team called Lars is working on. Big changes to the world as well in terms of crime as a whole. The lower-ranked crimes that you'll be receiving will be able to be paid off and won't cause you to go to prison. But if you do manage to get yourself into those higher crime stats, so CrimeStat 3 or above, you're going to be faced with a much bigger challenge now. Much fewer places to clear yourself of crimes. Kareah will become a big hotspot for PvP hopefully in this patch, and we will see a change back to the past, I believe, where it was similar to this. It's going to be really interesting to see the overall feedback from the community about what it's like funneling everybody into this dedicated area, whether it helps the PvE players as well as the PvP players because it sort of separates them out, or maybe PvP players are more focused in one area. But there's lots of data for us to grab from when the patch first drops and all these changes come in. I don't know as much about the specifics of the mission as Elliot does, so maybe you can give some insight on that.

So it's hopefully going to be a sort of player-run systemic thing, so you as the player can go and actually cause this event yourself. You can control when it runs. You can control, as long as you can survive, how long it runs for. But alongside this, it came with a sort of needed rebalance overhaul to our law system and how we do crimes, how much we award for crimes, how long it takes to get rid of crimes, where you can land with crimes. You can now land everywhere with a CS1 or 2, which you couldn't originally do. The fine kiosks that we have around the verse, you can surrender at, and it will give you that 20% discount off of your time, which means you don't have to go do death by cop in a ship.
