What you should know about the new missions:
1) They include updates to the existing LAR project missions.
Partially in response to this thread, the new missions allow the player to give limited commands to his/her pet bots. The player can tell his/her bots to "stay" or to "come here", in effect. The rest of the missions are defined as they were before. This, together with the devs' bugfixes, should solve the problem with the pets attacking the owner, or each other, and improve the user experience.
2) The pet bots can now be manufactured and launched from any Corvus station, for Tri-nation KOS or hated players.
For players with faction standing at the level of hated or below with the Itani, Serco, and UIT, a different breed of Furie may be manufactured and launched from any Corvus station. The manufacturing requirements are slightly different at the Corvus stations than at Valent, but are basically equivalent. The bots launched from Corvus also have the additional player-given commands.
The supply chain is location-blind, such that if you manufacture a bot at Valent, one can be launched from Corvus, and vice-versa. However, you must have the requisite faction standing to launch the bots from Corvus. You must also have completed the chain of missions available at Valent with Trade license 2, beginning with "Party Errand", up to and including "LAR Project: Uplink Surgery".
The Corvus missions are virtually identical to the ones at Valent, however, as they are more widely available, they should provide players that are Tri-KOS some additional content to complement their faction standing. This was not a large project, just something that came to me and was easy to draft. As it builds on missions that are already in production I rushed to test these solo, and get Incarnate's approval so it could be added in time for Christmas. Once again; you must have played the Valent missions, and attained hated or KOS faction with all three nations in order to get to the missions at Corvus.
The Corvus missions are also affected by "The Shadow Puppeteer", which reduces the number of Guardian Processor Cores needed to 1. Those below Light Weapons license 9 who are interested in how to arrive at TSP, here is a map.

could we get a list of the new missions? thanks for all the very hard work Phaserlight
Sure! They are titled as follows, with their short descriptions:
LAR project: Robot Manufacture - Deliver ore and items to manufacture the Axia RA18 Assault Robot
LAR project: 1 Axia RA18 Assault - Launch one Axia RA18 Assault using your Uplink
LAR project: 2 Axia RA18 Assaults - Launch two Axia RA18 Assaults using your Uplink
LAR project: 3 Axia RA18 Assaults - Launch three Axia RA18 Assaults using your Uplink
There are actually two versions of the first mission, one for dealing with each case (whether or not the player has completed The Shadow Puppeteer), bringing the total to five.
