[PTS] August 23, 2019 - PTS Update

[PSNews]

We're currently investigating issues with PTS being offline. Once those issues are resolved, the following changes will be making their way there.

Prowler

Rampart Defense Mesh has been refunded and removed.

Rampart Projector (Defensive Slot)

While deployed, the Prowler receives increased front armor and projects a hardlight barrier forward to shield allied infantry. This barrier is tied directly to the Prowler's health pool, and damage to the barrier will also damage the Prowler.

• Rank 1: 10% additional front armor.
• Rank 2: 15% additional front armor.
• Rank 3: 17.5% additional front armor.
• Rank 4: 20% additional front armor.

Misc. Changes, Fixes, and Additions

• Changed the model for the Stealth attachment visuals on Flash and Harasser.
• Lightning's Engagement Radar attachment now uses the correct UI camera.
• NSO characters can no longer lock onto allied vehicles.
• Hardlight Barriers now have a slightly larger exclusion radius to prevent barrier stacking.
• Construction Ammunition Tower ability has been disabled for the time being.
• Made some minor modifications to the Death Camera's highlighting and panning.
• Darkened UI background for the death screen has been removed.
• Vanguard's Forward Shield visuals have been adjusted.

just give the prowler a shield and call it vanguard, so much hassle to introduced new ideas that define an empire, defeats the purpose

"Hardlight Barriers now have a slightly larger exclusion radius to prevent barrier stacking" LOL so much for the fun
