Patch Notes for Revelations 1.2
Revelations Changes, Improvements and Fixes Rigs and Salvaging - The material amount received from salvaging has been increased based on ship classes, i.e. more salvage material will be received from a battleship than a frigate.
- The chance of receiving Circuits as salvage material and the quantities dropped have been greatly increased.
- There is now a visible indication of whether wrecks contain lootable items or not.
- The wreck container view will close automatically when the wreck no longer contains a lootable item.
- Inspected and un-inspected Wrecks can be filtered via Overview settings. "Apply to Ships Only" must not be selected in the Overview preferences for this to function.
Scanning - A new probe, the Multispectral Frequency Probe, has been added to the game as a blueprint, and is sold by CONCORD. This probe can only be fitted into a Scan Probe Launcher, once deployed it can scan an entire solar system and generates a report on types of scan frequencies it has detected. The results report will not display locations.
- All objects located inside deadspace (missions, exploration scenarios, etc.) are now more difficult to find with scan probes.
- The system scanner no longer forgets its scanning state when the interface is closed.
Contracts - Choosing the sort by title option in the Contract window works as intended.
- User defined contract titles will display in the main contract list.
- 'Implants' is now a legitimate search category when creating contracts.
Ships - An error in the Abaddon's description has been fixed.
- The Huginn now receives a bonus to heavy assault missile launcher, in addition to heavy and assault missile launchers.

- Various spelling & grammatical errors in character creation and the tutorials have been corrected.
User Interface - The logon/logoff notification has returned to the bottom right corner.
