I'm pleased to announce that v0.75beta has been released! I apologise for it taking longer than expected, but I have also added a little more content than I had intended, so hopefully it balances out for you all. Listed below are the changes that have been made.

Ghosts of Antilin
Spoiler:  
Show
The STG uncovered a plot to commit an atrocity in the Antilin system, but there's a problem. The star system has been scrubbed from the Archives! Discover who is responsible and find Antilin, but can you do so before it's too late?

I'm very pleased to reveal the first half of the Virtual Alien storyline is ready to release!

The Ghosts of Antilin was a proposed story that I wrote years ago, and I have begun adapting it into a format that works with Mass Effect 3, and it will soon feature the first appearance of the Virtual Aliens in any Mass Effect game! If the player discovered the suspicious terminal on Sur'kesh then they will kick into motion the first stage of the storyline.


NB: The story is told via galaxy map exploration, text adventures and mails. Creating new missions for the storyline is beyond the ME3 community at this time. The second half will be released with a future patch.



A Beacon for the Future
Spoiler:  
Show
The galaxy is falling, and hope dwindles. The future of this Cycle is uncertain, but what of the next?

In this new galaxy map assignment travel to worlds home to primitive civilisations. Warn them of the Reapers and gift them the plans for the Crucible, and choose whether a certain alien species deserves such knowledge. The fate of the next Cycle lies in your hands, even if you should fail to defeat the Reapers.



Galaxy Map Update
Spoiler:  
Show
The Galaxy Map has received a number of small updates, focused at first on fixing bugs such as the mysterious missing GAW in the Silean Nebula. In addition there are five new star systems spread over four clusters.

The frontier of space just got bigger!



NPCs
Spoiler:  
Show
v0.75 marks the arrival of the first NPC added to Spectre Expansion Mod. Although he has no dialogue, he improves immersion by giving Baria Frontiers a shopkeeper and addresses the vast human imbalance compared to the aliens. Some might wonder why I chose an elcor as the shopkeeper, and I must admit that it is entirely because they are my favourite alien species in Mass Effect.

It is my hope that this elcor is just the first of many NPCs to get added, almost all of which will be alien.



Shadow Broker Terminal
Spoiler:  
Show
The Shadow Broker Terminal has been updated with seven new mails. Five of these are intimately tied to the Virtual Aliens, but the other two centre upon the influence of the Reapers on two very different groups; an individual person and an entire species.
