Minor Patch 1.5.1

Apr 30

Attention Captains,

Minor Patch 1.5.1 has been released for Astra Protocol 2.

This patch enables music to be played in game, set up using the config screen. Whilst intended for use with the upcoming Audio Pack DLC, it can be adjusted to play your own music.

We're planning to have the free Audio Pack DLC release in the next few days.

There was also a fix regarding a missing transmission for a science mission.

Docked to a station, now what?

Manual says nothing about this, there are no commands, I datalinked first to request dock, then I went through the gruelling procedure of docking, did that, got nothing, tried to abort link and establish again, when I look at details no matter what I do, scan, abort link, data link , it remains "unknown" and all it started differently was "no matching record found in memory banks" What is even the point of docking?...

Community Feedback - What do you want to see?

Hi all, We have a feature list as long as our arm for where to go with Astra Protocol 2, but we'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on what you like and don't like about the game, and what improvements you'd like to see. We can't promise that everything suggested will be implemented, but it might help us prioritise the order in which we roll out updates. Please feel free to post some general feedback and let us know about features you like and dislike here, so we can work out where to focus our att...

Audio Pack DLC and Soundtrack

Apr 24

Attention Captains,

Just to let you know that we have two sets of downloadable content planning to be launched in a week or two (pending the approvals process) - an Audio Pack DLC and game soundtrack.

The Audio Pack DLC is a collection of six ambient tracks that have been created to play in the background whilst playing Astra Protocol 2, and will tie in with the upcoming v1.5.1.0 minor patch. This patch will simply allow users to turn on music and select a directory for it to play from.

We'll be launching this music free of charge, but as a DLC rather than as a patch due to its size and that some players may prefer to play without a soundtrack.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2947680/Astra_Protocol_2__Audio_Pack

Additionally, we'll be making the tracks available for purchase separately, featuring the addition of the track used in the game's trailer.

We're also planning a v1.6 patch with more features, but more on that in the future.

Route plotting gives whack routes?

Whenever i start a new run I do the long range scan, get the coordinates, I try to target something like -00000004184,-00000011629 (are the 0's even needed?) and it plots a route that seems to have waypoints completely off-target. Additionally, if I then perform the long range scan it gives wildly different coordinates, even with only a few units of distance between first and last scan. What gives? I would wish the manual said more about the autopilot and how one specifically types in the vectors....

Bug? Slow game speed!

I was watching this play through video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWH83ndTN8I&list=PLsYaAtYv_5eVVb7C8qSwFbNpQ7vI0qye8&index=6 and I noticed that his game runs a lot faster than mine, I think it may be twice as fast. From the beginning, I've found the game speed to be too slow/sluggish to be fun and the speed of his game seems a lot better. We both seem to be playing version 1.2.0.0 so we should be playing the same version. For example, when I open one of the modules and the frames are dr...

Speedometer?

Speed is clearly important since going fast blocks your radar, but you can't see how fast you are actually going. You can see how fast other ships are going if you target them, you can set the autopilot to stop and it will zero your speed. But you can't actually zero your speed yourself in any meaningful way because you can't see what it is, you get a bearing for what direction you are moving but not how fast. It also makes it very hard to understand how speed works. There is clearly some sort of newtonia...
