Patch Notes v1-1-1832

==Battleframes & Combat==
* Out of combat health regeneration potency has been significantly decreased. The delay before out of combat health regeneration kicks in has also been reduced significantly, resulting in regeneration starting sooner but healing smaller amounts.
** Out of combat regeneration begins after a player goes 10 seconds without taking or dealing damage.
* All battleframes have had their base health regeneration adjusted.
** Please see individual Battleframe sections for specific amounts.
* The amount of HKM charge gained from healing has been reduced.
* When being down leveled by a zone, player stats will now more closely match those of an appropriately leveled player. Previously players were retaining some health bonuses and power rating from certain equipment pieces, causing them to still be much stronger than normal players of the appropriate level range.

====New Features:====
* RX1 Resource Hauler :

**** If any resources are present they will be transferred from the outpost or watchtower to the vehicle over time (100 resources / 5 seconds), with a maximum of 1000 resources.
*** After collecting resources, the players must return the resource hauler to the ‘Loading Zone’ of any friendly outpost or watchtower (near the resource containers/terminal) to claim them for their team.
**** The resources will transfer from the vehicle to the outpost or watchtower over time (100 resources / 5 seconds).
** Destroying an enemy RX1 Resource Hauler will cause 80% of the resources it currently holds to drop on the ground.

** Anti-Personnel Turret (Stage 1) – the current turret found in outposts.
** Anti-Air Turret (Stage 2) – shoots low-damage, long range, slow moving, homing EMP bullets that will cause targets to lose gliders, jump-jet energy, and energy regeneration for a short period of time.
** Anti-Vehicle Turret (Stage 3) – shoots high-damage, medium range, mortar shells that will explode on impact. Only targets vehicles.
* The armory will now have an “Anti-Vehicle Barrier Charge” and outpost entrances now have attached “Anti-Vehicle Barriers”.
** Pick up the “Anti-Vehicle Barrier Charge” and interact with any “Anti-Vehicle Barrier” to charge that barrier, causing a beam to close off the entrance.
** Enemy vehicles that drive through the beam will take severe damage.
* At stage 3, the armory will now have a “Remote Spawn Point” consumable item.
