Can you talk about any ninja changes in 3.14, something that doesn't usually appear in the patch notes, like weapon or ship balance?

TL;DRTodd Papy mentions fixing the star map zoom and AI standing on chairs, plus many quality-of-life fixes, with a stricter approach to which issues must be fixed before live.

Well, I mean, considering I think last patch we fixed over 3,000 issues, and before that, another 3,000 issues. Now, again, with a lot of these things, we're creating them as we're building the features and building the content, and then trying to squash them as much as we possibly can. So one of the ones that I want to basically fix is the zoom out on the star map. So making sure that when you start the star map, it's actually zoomed out versus zoomed in. Then from there, we're looking at trying to fix a lot of the AI issues, in particular, them standing on chairs. And the reason for that was it's not necessarily on the AI. It was basically the way that the actor was persistent. And so it would go to sleep when you zoomed out. And basically the AI would be in the usable, and then as soon as it got woken back up, when you came back in and reloaded, it didn't know what to do. So those are things that I want to make sure we get fixed. And then from there, we've outlined a crap ton of quality of life fixes that we always try to hit. This patch, I was much more strict on what should be a live must-fix and trying to force these issues in.
