STEEL update is live!

9 October, 2014 - Adam

Our long-awaited STEEL release – the real-time combat revamp – is now out of beta! It brings a clutch of bug fixes and a giant shipload of really stunning scenery. You can view combat footage and a list of known issues here:
http://www.failbettergames.com/steel-update-is-live/

We've also made many balance improvements to the map and removed a lot of empty space. If you want to get the most out of Steel, we recommend starting with a new captain and a new chart. It'll look better, and there'll be more ports, so you can save more often.

NB there's currently a bug that will prevent OS X users getting story updates. This is top of our fix list and we’ll release a patch for it ASAP. The Steel release comes with all the latest story updates, anyway.

I thought the combat system was mediocre before. Now it's just terrible. And why is it that I can barely turn the ship? I can't even turn into port without getting blasted to bits by enemies. I get it: some people like a challenge. It's just that when I receive an update I don't expect multiple downgrades.

So.. is this like a Space Rangers game?

The new combat looks great, definitely what this game needed!

the game is shaping up nicely, big thanks to failbettergames for this beefy update

onyhow: I've noticed it also decreases slower now too. So I suppose it's a double edged sword. I guess it's to stop your crew from going insane while navigating around the monsters or ships you are fighting.

PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZZZZZZ fix the enemy turn rate or the player turn rate, I find myself uselessly wasting a lot of fuel trying to position myself away from firing angle. At the moment the real combat is either engage/disengage until they're dead or 1-on-1 up front which you'll probably loose since most enemies hit well beyond half the hp of the first boat

Blackleaf: new feature. IMO it probably defanged terror a bit too much...I can easily sail from London to Salt Lions (under original map) with 1-2 terror generated at most easily...I think the terror gain rate should go up a bit, but not to the old level tho...
