25 -|(% colspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Scripts|(% colspan="1" style="width:119px" %)8.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" style="width:1625px" %)Removed MD action **<populate_platforms>**
26 +|(% colspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Assets|(% colspan="1" style="width:119px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" style="width:1625px" %)Replaced **standard** tag on small and medium ships with **advanced** tag.
27 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)The advanced tag encodes the new weapon and turret sizes for small and medium ships.
28 +|(% colspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Assets|(% colspan="1" style="width:119px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" style="width:1625px" %)Resized small and medium surface elements and integrated engines and shields into the ships.
29 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)The assets are now aligned with the setup started with the Boron DLC. There are no visual modular meshes for shields and engines on the exterior on the ship any more. Turrets are now visually integrated into the ships hull.
30 +|(% colspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Scripts|(% colspan="1" style="width:119px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" style="width:1625px" %)Removed **<event_area_discovered>**
31 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)Removed for performance reasons
32 +|(% colspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Assets|(% colspan="1" style="width:119px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" style="width:1625px" %)Added **overheatcooldelay** property to **<heat>** of weapons, changed functionality of **cooldelay**
33 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)**cooldelay** now optionally defines a delay between firing a non-overheating shot and the cooldown starting, **overheatcooldelay** is an additional penalty delay when the weapon overheats.
34 +|(% colspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Scripts|(% colspan="1" style="width:119px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" style="width:1625px" %)Removed script action **<get_highest_resource_yield>**
35 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)A new property that can be used in its place is **$sector.bestyieldrating.{$ware}**.
36 +|(% colspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Scripts|(% colspan="1" style="width:119px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" style="width:1625px" %)Removed **<find_asteroid_in_cluster>** and **<find_recyclable_in_cluster>**
37 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)**<find_asteroid_with_yield_in_sector>** and **<find_recyclable_with_yield_in_sector>** should now be used instead.
38 +|(% colspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Parameters|(% colspan="1" style="width:119px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" style="width:1625px" %)Removed **<yielddensities>** from **<miningparams>**
39 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)It has been replaced with the new **<resources>** node.
40 +|(% colspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Libraries|(% colspan="1" style="width:119px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" style="width:1625px" %)**region_definitions.xml** no longer contains **<resources>** or **<scaneffect> **nodes
41 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)Instead of defining resources in regions, they're now defined via resource areas in sectors (see **mapdefaults.xml** and **resourceyields.xml**). Regions can still have some control by defining **<allowedyields>**.
42 +|(% colspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Libraries|(% colspan="1" style="width:119px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" style="width:1625px" %)**regionyields.xml** has a completely different structure
43 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)It now contains definitions of resource areas referenced by sector properties (see **mapdefaults.xml**).
44 +|(% colspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Scripts|(% colspan="1" style="width:119px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" style="width:1625px" %)Removed **$resourceprobe.currentbestyield** and **.maxyield**, **$sector.averagemaxyield**, and **$galaxy.yieldthresholds**
45 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)New properties that can be used are **$resourceprobe.bestyieldrating** and **$sector.yieldrating.{$ware}**. Yields thresholds are no longer a thing in 9.00.
46 +|(% colspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Scripts|(% colspan="1" style="width:119px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" style="width:1625px" %)Removed **flags **attribute from action **<add_blueprints>**
26 26  |(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)(((
27 -The deprecated MD action <populate_platforms> has been removed. The previously referenced character quotas in quotas.xml have also been removed.
48 +The flags attribute is no longer available in the MD action <add_blueprints>

29 -|(% style="width:117px" %)Assets|(% style="width:117px" %)8.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" rowspan="1" style="width:117px" %)**\assets\units\size_m\ship_gen_m_transdrone_container_02** and **\assets\units\size_s\ship_gen_s_transdrone_container_02** moved to **ego_dlc_terran**
30 -|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)**ship_gen_m_transdrone_container_02** and **ship_gen_s_transdrone_container_02** (templates and macros) have been moved to the **ego_dlc_terran** extension and any reference to these files now requires that the resulting dependency on that extension is taken into account.
31 -|(% style="width:117px" %)Assets|(% style="width:117px" %)8.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" rowspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Icons moved from **assets\fx\textures\gui** to **assets\textures\ui**
32 -|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)Assets with the exception of the **loadingscreen** folder have been moved and any reference to these files will require updating (mostly affects icons.xml).
33 -|(% style="width:117px" %)Assets|(% colspan="3" style="width:117px" %)8.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="3" style="width:117px" %)**boron** and **terran** tags for equipment (weapons, engines, ...) changed to **advanced**
34 -|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)Ships and equipment with **boron **and **terran** (Frontier terran, not CoH terran) tags will no longer work properly as they do not match the new **advanced** tag (for example "small engine boron" has been replaced by "small engine advanced") which has been introduced for a compatibility between boron and Frontier-terran ships/equipment.
35 -|(% style="width:117px" %)Assets|(% style="width:117px" %)8.00|(% colspan="4" rowspan="1" style="width:117px" %)Terran NPC heads from Terran DLC **extensions/ego_dlc_terran/assets/characters/terran/heads/[...]** have been removed
36 -|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)All Terran NPC heads are now pointed to **assets/characters/argon/heads/char_arg_f_dyn_blend_head** (female characters) and **assets/characters/argon/heads/char_arg_m_dyn_blend_head** (male characters) instead of using random selection from a list.
50 +|(% style="width:117px" %)Scripts|(% style="width:117px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="3" style="width:117px" %)Construction sequence param removed from build_started events
51 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)Script events <event_build_started> and <event_player_build_started> no longer receive the construction sequence via param2. param2 will now yield null. Query the sequence via the param3 buildtask instead.
52 +|(% style="width:117px" %)Scripts|(% style="width:117px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="3" style="width:117px" %)Script properties removed from macro
53 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)**.purposemacro** and **.purposename **have been removed from the **macro **script properties
54 +|(% style="width:117px" %)Scripts|(% style="width:117px" %)9.00 Beta 1|(% colspan="4" rowspan="1" style="width:117px" %)**constructionplan **attribute now required for **<add_build_to_expand_station>**
55 +|(% colspan="6" style="width:117px" %)The constructionplan attribute for the <add_build_to_expand_station> action is no longer optional. Past behaviour when omitted was for the station to recycle down to nothing. Use new script action <add_build_to_recycle_station> instead.
