Hello captains,

A few more fixes for you beta players out there. :)

Fixes

- Fix for travel not working when sitting in a jumpgate POI, also caused the prologue getting stuck very early on.

- Installations no longer spawn at jumpgates (this will clear out over time)

- Removed the possibility of Installations spawning at Bounty or Patrol missions

- Fixed bug where taking shield or armor damage could cause you to lose crew (this should only happen on hull damage)

- An active transponder prevents rep loss when entering a friendly facility or ship

- Potential fix for the cargo inventory scrolling down on open. Let us know if you still have issues with this

- Fixed boardable ship not fleeing after boarding failed / retreated from

- Fixed ECHO getting confused by a boardable in combat and getting stuck in a loop between the mission and the spacestation

Cheers,

Make sure to keep an old save game when switching to the beta, just in case. We always make sure that your save games will keep working, but as long as the beta is ahead of the release, the beta save game won't work on the release version until it catches up.

To take part go to Manage and select Properties for Vanguard Galaxy in Steam:

And select the open-beta under Game Versions & Betas as shown below.

Hello everyone,

A quick hotfix to calm ECHO down, she was trying to fill up crew even though it was at capacity already.

Added/Changed

- ECHO will only get new crewmembers when the total dips below 50%. We'll introduce an option to adjust this in the near future

- Panicked units in a boarding operation will try to flee if possible. Player units go back to the staging area

- Ships with level above 80 will flee the area when the boarding operation is going bad for them. This is a temporary measure untill we get rid of the final level cap. (yeah we cannot wait either :)

- Some text readibilty improvements

Fixes

- Loop where ECHO gets stuck buying new crew members fixed

- Fix for ECHO trying to travel from a position in space that no longer has a POI resulting in it not being able to travel and spawning the notification "We are already here".

Cheers,
