Hi all – new patch today that fixes a number of issues.
I’m nearly finished with the perks for ground combat, space and several of the general skills. There will be an additional 66 perks to complete the combat, first-aid and hacking perk lines. I’m also adding all the space combat perks for an additional 60. That’s a total of 126 new perks added to the game and a grand total of 225 perks! I hope to have these tested and ready to release soon. I’ll be adding the additional perks for salvaging, repair and crafting as those systems get released. Mining perks are dependent on the drone mining system, so those will go in when I release that feature.
There is quite a bit of other work going on. This includes the drone mining system, updated animations including the new special weapon attacks, and more. Here are the notes:
FIXED: Duplicate display of team position in some missions. There was a display error in the mission completion map next to the radar that would display your location in mission areas more than once in some cases.
FIXED – Removed duplicate eliminate mission targets from mission areas.
FIXED – A bug related to applying armor strike through at high levels of melee skill. This changes things for melee at higher levels both for enemies and team members. Overall higher damage output from melee.
FIXED – Delayed damage and visual effects when using flamethrowers.
FIXED – A display error related to mods applied to weapons with critical chance modifiers.
FIXED – A game lockup when using the toggle combat toolbar icon or other toolbar icons while transitioning in and out of combat.
FIXED – Enemies and the player no longer scan the environment for each other while transitioning in and out of combat. In some cases, this could result in a game lockup.
FIXED – A number of data issues with some of the mission sets.
FIXED – Line of sight lines now disappear immediately when an enemy dies. Previously, the could remain visible until the enemy disappeared.
FIXED – When completing a mission, the entire message is now displayed on the screen. Previously, the text was being cut off.
FIXED – A number of general stability fixes.
UPDATED – If you have a health kit enabled, you can now click character portraits to heal in and out of combat.
UPDATED – All ships drop at least one loot crate, even in systems that are -10 levels of your average space combat skills.
UPDATED – Your ship will tractor dropped enemy ship crates from a much larger distance now. Should help in cases where an enemy ship is too close to a planet when destroyed.
UPDATED – Improved load speeds by a few seconds
UPDATED – Reduced the amount of information sent to the log. In some cases, when playing very long sessions, this may lead to problems.
UPDATED – Voice comments adjusted:
–Team members now comment on critical hits less often.
–Team members will only comment on loot if the item looted is armor or a weapon and of rare quality and above.
