Greetings Auraxians, we have a small update for the Jackhammer.

• Damage has been restored to the Jackhammer when using Triple-Shot (White Ammo) vs. MAX Units.
  Jackhammerのセカンダリモードで通常弾を使用してMAXを攻撃した場合に限り、前回のパッチ以前の威力に戻した。要するに最大で９６ダメージ（プライマリ３発相当）を与えることができます。

Thank you and we'll see you on the Battle Field!

Put away those shotties Vanu and break out your Lashers again.

•  Lasher works properly now.

Lasherは適当に調整したそうです。詳細皆無。

It's Valentine's Day in PlanetSide, but what does that mean exactly? Here are a few things we have planned over the holiday:

Been through some bad relationships? Visit VR Training and get back at all the lovers that have jilted you in the past!
Anyone that logs in on Valentine's Day (Feb. 14, 2009) will be awarded with a special merit!

バレンタインイベントのようです。１４日にログインしてＶＲトレーニングを訪れて、過去にフラれた愛人を取り戻せ？
良くわかりませんが、１４日にログインするとメリットコメンデーションが貰えると思います。

Greetings Auraxians! With Valentine's Day behind us it's time to get back to some serious fighting; grab your weapons and get to fragging!

• Removed Valentine's Day Event.

バレンタインイベントは終了しました

Greetings Auraxians! Change is in the air and that means it's time to try out some new certifications. All players have been granted (1) free Certification respec, to take advantage of this simply visit your nearest Certification Terminal and look for the Forget All button.

• Everybody has been granted a Free Certification Respec.

ただの気まぐれなのか意図はわかりませんが、全員に一度すべてのCertを返却できる権利が与えられました。以前に同様の権利を貰ったのをそのまま行使せずに取っておいた人は、そのまま。２回使用できるとかいう事にはなりません。

Here is what happens when Producers and Coders go wild:

• Armor increased on Prowler, Vanguard, Mag Rider and Lightning. Everyone pull armor!
  Prowler, Vanguard, Magrider, Lightningの装甲を強化。
• Increased Knife damage. Time to get those knife merits! Perhaps shank an unsuspecting engineer trying to repair one of those tanks?
  ナイフの威力を強化。これでナイフ関係のメリットが取得しやすくなったハズ。戦車を修理している無警戒なエンジニアを倒せるかも。
• Increased battle experience for squads, increased command experience for taking bases and increased support experience. Good time for your friends to get a jumpstart playing Planetside! The larger your squad is, the more battle experience and command experience for everyone!
  スカッドを組んでいる時のリーダーに与えられるＣＥＰをアップ、スカッドメンバーに割り振られるＢＥＰのボーナス分もアップ。ついでにSEP（サポート経験値）もアップ。一人プレイでの獲得ＢＥＰは変化は無く、あくまでスカッドでプレイした時のボーナス分が変わっただけです。初心者でも積極的にスカッドに加えていけば、自分も多くのＢＥＰを得られて、初心者も一気に成長できますよと。

Your friends can join you by using a free trial. Just download the station launcher at: http://launcher.station.sony.com/ start up the station launcher and click “Planetside” to see how to get a 14 day trial!

Act fast! This madness is sure to end soon!

Planetsideには14日間のフリートライアルが用意されているので、ぜひ友達を誘ってあげてください。またこれは一時的なキャンペーンで、また元の状態に戻ります。

上の三項目すべてが一時的なものなのか、一番下だけなのか、いまいち不明。

あとリンク先のStation LauncherというSOE共通ラウンチツールも宣伝されていますが、未だにβ版のままです。昔個人的に試してみて、なんかおかしくなったので即消してそれっきりですが、今だとまともに動くのかも。

After finding they couldn't meet with the demands on improved armor for all of those tanks, Nano manufacturing settings switched the improved armor from Main Battle Tanks to smaller vehicles, starting with small air vehicles (Mosquito, Wasp and Reaver). To help infantry survive the influx of air Nano in the wild the remaining reserves of the improved armor materials were diverted to the Deliverers, Raiders, Thunderers, Auroras and all buggies and ATVs. The improved armor supplies will be depleted soon so make sure you get as much out of them as you can before we have to resort to older materials for all vehicles.

Additionally, a peace accord was arranged regarding using improved armor material on knives and knives will no longer be manufactured with such material and return to normal.

In other advancements, to help keep up with the constantly changing battlefield, cloning scientists have come up with a way to reset solider training, a recertification, and will be issuing these to all soldiers with the armor change and again when the improved armor material has run out.

ゲーム内の設定の話がいろいろ書いてあってそこはイマイチ理解できませんが、要するに以下。

先日までの戦車類の装甲強化キャンペーンは終了となり、代わりに軽車両の装甲が強化されたようです。具体的な対象車種は
Deliverer, Aurora, Raider, Thunderer, Thresher, Marauder, Enforcer, Skyguard, Harrasser, Basilisk, Fury, Wraith
だと思われます。あと、個人乗り飛行機Mosquito, Wasp, Reaverも同様に装甲が強化されています。

これも前回同様一時的なキャンペーンなので、また元の性能に戻ります。また、次に別の乗物が強化ということはなく、これで終わり。

同様に強化されていたナイフについても以前の性能に戻っています。こちらは別の武器が強くなると言った事では無さそう。

Other Notes:

The clip size of the lasher has been lowered to 35 orbs per clip.
ついでに、Lasherの装填数を４０発から３５発に変更。これは恒久的なものだと思われます。

Greetings Auraxians! We would like to thank everybody for participating in the PlanetSide Vehicle Stimulus Event; we hope you enjoyed the changes to your favorite weapons, aircrafts and most importantly the knives. With this update we'll be slowing things down again and you'll find that all the buffs have been removed and everything is back to normal again.

Now we do understand that a lot of you may have used up your free certification respecs over the past few weeks so we have another one for you, to take advantage of this simply visit your nearest Certification Terminal and look for the Forget All button.

• Everybody has been granted a Free Certification Respec.

Thank you and we'll see you on the Battle Field!

乗物の装甲強化キャンペーンはすべて終了、元の状態に戻しました。それに合わせて、すべてのキャラクターに一度だけすべてのCertを一括で返却する権利を与えました。

Greetings Auraxians! Welcome to PlanetSide's 6 Year Anniversary Celebration! To commemorate this Anniversary we have a few exciting new additions for everybody!

• All characters created before the six year anniversary update will be granted a free respec.
• The battle rank maximum has been increased from 25 to 40 with a special reward upon reaching 40!
• Six Year Anniversary merit has been awarded to all Characters that are 72 months old!

毎年恒例の６年報償の導入。作成から７２カ月が経過したキャラクターには専用のメリットコメンデーションが与えられます。

同時に、バトルランクの上限を従来の２５から４０に引き上げ。２６以降上がると何が起きるのかはまだよく分かっていませんが、４０まで上げると何か良い事があるそうです。

前回のパッチ以降に出現した、自分の近くにBR32のキャラクターが存在するとクライアントがクラッシュする不具合を修正

Greetings Auraxians! We are pleased to announce to everyone that PlanetSide now supports both Windows Vista and Windows 7. While players could work around the compatibility issues with Vista and Windows 7 before, the client should now be completely functional without having to use compatibility mode and/or other tricks.

We appreciate your patience with this change and please make sure that you spread the word to all your fallen Vista and Windows 7 comrades!

ついにWindows7とWindows Vistaに正式対応。それらのOSでは互換モードの設定とか無しで、普通にプレイできるようになりました。
