Added a space rare loot system.
This system is disabled by default. I have added a default config file, but if you are adding this to an existing server, create/paste the following into:
space_rare_loot.cfg
Then add space_rare_loot.cfg as an include in servercommon.cfg.
Below is a sample config with Space Rare Loot disabled.
[SpaceRareLoot]
# Base percent chance for an eligible space kill to award a rare loot chest.
# Set to 0 or remove this key to disable space rare loot.
baseChance=0
# Cooldown in seconds between chest awards per player.
# 0 disables the cooldown.
delaySeconds=3600
# Enables testing/debug messages for rare loot eligibility and award checks.
debugMessages=false
# QA/testing option: treats lower-tier targets as same-tier for eligibility/chance behavior.
qaTreatLowerTargetAsSameTier=false
# Relative quality weights used after a chest award succeeds.
# These do not need to total 100, but these defaults represent 70/25/5.
rareChance=70
exceptionalChance=25
legendaryChance=5
# For higher-tier targets, shift this many points per tier out of Rare chance
# and into Exceptional/Legendary according to the ratios below.
higherTierQualityShift=5
# Portion of shifted Rare chance that becomes Exceptional chance.
higherTierExceptionalShiftRatio=0.80
# Portion of shifted Rare chance that becomes Legendary chance.
higherTierLegendaryShiftRatio=0.20
# Maximum number of target tiers above the player that can apply quality shifting.
higherTierQualityShiftMaxTiers=3
# Stat scaling applied when creating rare space loot items.
# Rare is below baseline, Exceptional is baseline, Legendary is above baseline.
rareScale=0.50
exceptionalScale=1.00
legendaryScale=1.50
someone set this to 5.0 (which is 500%) but left the comment as 50% so I'm correcting this to actually be 50% because 500% is absurd and SOE default is 1.5
* Remove validateStationKey as this config option isn't used in the SRC so it does nothing
* Add the maxAuctionsPerPlayer setting for the commodity market that was added the other day
