New tools, new luggables at least one absolutely required fix (Mech token) - Smashing and just a Hotfix too!
It will be interesting to see how the additions will effect everyday life within the simulation!

Props to everyone involved, including the behind-the-scenes people who I suppose are underappreciated compared to the more public figures.
But anyway, just finished crafting Tool Crafting gear in preparation for a day of... you guessed it... Data Mining o.O

I do believer this was Dracomet's love child. So yeah, big props to him.
I must resound the awesome-ness of this hotfix, data miner and tool maker given real purpose, as well as new 'sequence' content? Immense.
More gradual adding of content and actual bug fixes through hotfixes i say, its horrible having to 6 weeks in between additions to the game. Especially with some nasty bugs that would be lovely to receive as they're fixed.
Finally, I only wish that you could someone switch the Zion 7.2 token for the Mech version.
*Recycles*

I have to say....this is the first time since i started playing MXO that I felt that our support team was able to give us ample support. I dont know what changed up there guys, but keep up the outstanding work. Kudos man
I would like to reiterate the thanks already extended. I always thought Data Mining was more what the Matrix should be about, at least in peace time, than all this assassination and combat.
now if only the servers were open...
Good update! Congratulations and Thanks Dracomet and the rest of the team.
Not seeing these new taps anywhere. Are we supposed to get them from farming the loot tables or something?
And yeah, my missions are still bugged. I have Tyndall, and well, that's it. I am not going to go through 10 Tyndall and 10-ish Gray missions for 0 $info just to get my character back to normal. Guess I'm stuck not doing a critical mission on Vector ever again.

The new data taps are available from level appropriate enemies that normally drop tools. Except for the "rare" ones which are not drops.

What is the one thing we would do a lot of that dropped these kind of items... Missions. 
Trying that. No luck so far.
Figures. Just when I want them to drop tools...

Oh, I think they missed something in the patch notes. Hyper-sprint now drains IS correctly.
We've got one, and coding it.
This is awesome devs! you can loot subrouintes from the higher nodes! As well as more information.

I found one doing missions, searching a file cabinet. Unfortunately, I failed at decompiling it :/ I suggest downtown for the number of rooms in the big buildings. More places to search.
If you get the 2.0 you will need to know its lvl 53 to decomp. I used lvl 67 to decomp it.

I won't give away anything about the attacks, other than, be prepared for multiple foes.

So be it. I shall bring out the lvl 90+ decomp clothing.
9mm's just taunting us now. I've been running missions Downtown for an hour and no luck yet. I'm running them on Easy, is that a factor? Would they only be lootable from the Hard difficulty missions?
I thought this was providing tool content for levels 20 - 50?
Whats a 2.0 doing with a 53 decom level? =P
Bear in mind i havnt had a chance to check this stuff out yet.

Yes but then why make lower levels taps higher level decom? I mean, surely Draco made it that way for a reason.
Just curious as i always am with new designs, i love to know what goes through our devs heads ^.^

FYI the 2.0 is minimum level 40 item.
You will see this kind of thing with clothing and weapons etc. Lvl 50 enchanced clothing is lvl 55 to code, gives reason to have good decomp points and use Sats + frags. Anyone trying to decomp these, be careful.

Do the Data Sentries come in waves? I was completely unprepared and only managed to kill a few - then a second lot appeared! How many do I need to kill before I get anything good?

I was solo, first two waves were quickly disposed of, then another came, then the next wave got me 
Be very prepared.
Several waves of data sentries, the piece itself was in a data cluster. Think of it as a lootable node.
