15.1.1 Build Notes

Jan 24, 2015 @ 10:30am

J.C. Smith

Servers will be going down at 9AM EST today, the 27th of February to apply the 15.1.1 patch. Expected downtime is 4-8 hours. This is our second patch of February, and features massive changes to the combat system.

The biggest changes this month center around the combat and skills systems. We went through every skill in the game doing a series of balance work and improvements. Melee received the largest amount of upgrades, with most melee special abilities being moved to a cone of attack system. The chance of buffs and debuffs to take effect were increased across the board to make them more reliable and reduce the amount of chance in an encounter. We also introduced five new stats, tweaked numerous opening types. The end result is that combat feels much better overall.

Another big change to the combat system was reworking how the Penetration and Resistance systems interact. These values have a larger effect in some cases than was previously the case. This is particularly the case when it comes to higher difficulty mobs, especially bosses and above. The result is that group encounters should be much more challenging than was previously the case. Meanwhile average and lower level mobs have had their difficulty levels slightly decreased.

The combat changes also included a number of visual improvements, most notably in the ranged weapon animations. Melee animations will be receiving a similar upgrade in the future. Many abilities also saw improvements to their FX. There were visual improvements to many other areas, as well. This includes more work on Plymouth City's textures, improved terrain textures, a new alternate head model for female models, many new props, and some NPC animation work. Cosmetic Stylists will also enjoy new Body Morphing Kits which can be applied to characters to change their body type.

We've also continued to refine our auction and work order systems. This includes things like the ability to search your bags for items which match active work orders, automated grade stacking, and improved searching and filtering options. There were also a number of email related improvements centering on the trading system, including the ability to select multiple emails at once, and to empty mails of items, as well as the ability to differentiate between Auction and Work Order emails.

The resource system received a massive overhaul in this patch. Manual (whack-a-node) harvesting and corpse extractions received a massive overhaul which provides a variable resource count based on the difficulty of the area you are in or the mob you are extracting. Triple hitter nodes are now a single hit but result in multiple results per hit. Harvesting tools will also be automatically switched without needing to manually equip them. Harvesters received similar improvements with several new types of harvesters being added into the game, and the output from harvested nodes being increased. There are also now static harvesting locations which will always be available, primarily for water.

Audio work continued with the improvement of weather and environmental based sounds. The variable footstep system has been improved, and a number of annoying audio bugs which were causing tracks to cut off abruptly or not blend properly have been repaired. New types of interface sounds have also been added for things like tells and purchasing items.

Other changes include improved mission marker support, NPC immunity timers, new boss abilities, batched crafting improvements, many tweaks to the User Interface, numerous pet improvements and new tamed pet types. You can read the full list of changes from the massive set of notes below. Before we get to them though let's take a look ahead to the 15.2.1 build, which focuses on getting rare recipes, and improved loot into the game, as well as a good number of housing and nation improvements. You can read a preview of the upcoming 15.2.1 changes (WIP) in this thread: https://therepopulation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9002

Adversarial Camps

Put a hard limit on the number of NPCs in a camp. This should prevent runaway camps.
Added the new baby creatures to the respective Adversarial Camp spawn setups.
Tweaked the camp spawn numbers, level gains values, and fixed an issue that was allowing the max growth values to go past what they should.
Major changes were made to the adversarial camps in Howling Hills. They are smaller in size than was previously the case.
Moved one of the camp spawners in Beggar's End so that it was further away from borders.

The mob assist code has been adjusted so only creatures of level 6+ will assist. This is to prevent overwhelming new players.

Auctions and Work Orders

Added "Search Bags" ability for Work Orders, which will find all active work orders whose item name matches items found in your main inventory and containers.
Simplified the entry of search criteria for work orders. No more confusing radio buttons next to drop-downs and text entry fields. Replaced with filtered drop-down lists for the item name, components, and filter choices.
Improved sorting of Auction search, including sorting across all pages, not just within the currently shown page.
When setting Component and Filter values for a Work Order search, the Item Name drop-down list will automatically reduce to match only those items meeting the component and/or filter criteria, to make it easier to choose an item from the list.
When you post an auction, you will now have a choice to enter total prices, or per unit prices.
When fulfilling a work order with a mixed stack item, all grades within the stack will be used as needed to fill the order, starting with the lowest grade and moving to the highest grade, until either the order is complete, or the item has no more qualifying grades within it, whichever comes first.
When creating a new Work Order, the total price you will pay when you submit the order is now displayed.
Invalid entries, in the work order "Item Name", "Component", and "Filter" search criteria boxes, will display in orange. Valid entries continue to display in white.
Added Component and Filter search options to work order creation, so you can reduce the very long Item Name list to something shorter and easier to pick an item from.
Work Orders are now limited in quantity per character.
Improved chat and email text messages related to work order creation, fulfillment, expiration, and cancellation.
Right clicking an item, in a work order list, will now display that item in the Game Database
Added a "Ctrl"+"Shift"+"Click" trigger to cancel a Work Order.
Added a confirmation dialog for cancelling Work Orders.
Added a validation so players can not Post an Auction for soulbound items.
Consolidated the Trading "Request" and "Fulfill" windows into a single "Work Orders" window.
Dropping an item into the work order drop box will automatically enter the name of the item into the "Item Name" field.
Added the ability to cancel your work order requests.
Choosing an item, when creating a new work order, can now be done by typing in the name in the "Item Name" field.
When choosing an item, component, or filter from the work order drop-down lists, the associated text field will now complete to match the chosen drop-down item.
Improved sorting of Work Order search lists, including sorting across all pages, not just within the currently shown page.
Added feedback to the automated email for an auction bid timeout to include the name of the auction winner.
You can now delete all digits in Qty field for work order creation, to make it easier to enter a new value.
Improved performance for Work Order searches.

Audio

Rain sound effects are now blended in a much better manner and at a volume which is more appropriate to the rain level.
A sound will now play any time you receive a tell. This is intended to alert players who may be viewing a combat or other tab without tells enabled.
Improved our music system to provide a higher level of volume control for our musicians.
Improved our variable footstep sound support. It is now easier for us to provide alternate footstep sounds over wider areas than was previously the case.
Added new rain, wind, and thunder sounds.
Environmental audio will now kick in instantly rather than waiting on an astronomy event to change it.
Environmental background sounds will now activate properly when moving seamlessly between areas.
Added support for snow and hard surface footstep sounds.
Added new regional music tracks for Mount Ash and Tralus Plains from Matthew Shine.
Added variable footstep sounds to multiple parts of the world that did not previously have them.
Added more background sounds to Freedomtown, particularly in the Candy Shop.
Variable sounds are now supported for walking and running footsteps.
Added a new coins sound to be used in Auctions or on vendors to indicate that something has been purchased.
Slightly lowered the "Rallying Cry" ability sound FX.
Music should no longer cut off abruptly when you switch areas.
Corrected an issue which was causing NPCs to alter your footstep sounds erroneously.

Combat

Significant improvements were made to the mastery system for different species. The species mastery system will now process its damage bonus 600% more often than before, and the damage bonus now takes both your Subsistence Knowledge of that species (from harvesting), as well as the total kills you have had against that species. For those unfamiliar with this system, it is intended to give players a small DPS increase based on the amount of experience they have against that species.
Players should generally have less issues with line of sight from other players or NPCs.
Introduced a new Combat Modifier: Reflexes. This modifier will increase your resistance to Disarming or Blinding attacks by avoiding them.
Added a new Combat Modifier: Stability. Stability helps you avoid being Knocked Down.
Implemented a new Combat Modifier: Balance. This modifier helps prevent you from being Knocked Backwards or Off Balance.
Added a new Combat Modifier: Willpower. Willpower reduces the chance you will be affected by Stuns, Dazes, or Confusion.
Widened the action mode radius for melee abilities.

Stun Immunity timers are now valid against NPCs, as well as players, and had their duration increased from 8 to 10 seconds.
Improved the way that action mode auto-selects positional abilities so that they will fire more often in chaotic situations.
Reduced the amount of damage done from critical hits from 200% to 150% and put an upper limit of a 250% damage bonus on crits.
Slightly reduced NPC melee damage. This was part of a larger tweaking process to try to bring combat more towards the balance we seek from it.
NPC difficulty rankings (Minion, Boss, etc) now have a significantly larger impact on penetration and armor ratings.
Medics can now Revive or Resuscitate friendly players in Action Mode.
Improved the selection mechanics of First Aid abilities in Action Mode so it will be more intelligent in choosing which heals to use on which opponents based on their current health.

Funny Fisherman Barney Jumboprawn has arrived to Laredo to try his craft in the local ponds. Barney's a fisherman from Koleyna, of all places; you'd think he can only fish a Helltyr, but he actually knows how water works.

[2017/05/08]Update v0.904 - Quickfix I

Hello captains,

We've noticed there are some issues with the Steam overlay, along with some other bugs so we went ahead to fix those smaller things. The tiny quickfix is now live.

Another quickfix can be expected today or tomorrow focused on the game launcher. In some cases it might get into trouble.

Safe travels, captains!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/05/07]Update v0.904 - The final countdown

Greetings captains,

First of all, apologies for being late with this update. It was planned for yesterday, but we were hunting for an elusive bug that would cause the game to freeze for a couple of frames every so often during combat. We didn't want to release the update before that one was stomped on.

As we're entering the final stretch to launch, we decided to release at least one more update for you ladies and gentlemen. I won't drag this too long. The change-list is below. Check out the first item ;).

We'll release quickfixes as needed, but if everything goes as planned, the next update will be the launch one. The final stretch will include the storyline (naturally), completely new voiceovers, tweaks, balancing (economic as well) and fixes.

As always, let us know what you think of the game, what bugs you find and so on. We greatly appreciate it.

Safe travels!

[2017/04/26]Update v0.902 - The first in line

Greetings captains,

Our plan for the upcoming period is to have multiple smaller updates and this is the first in line. The next one is planned for Friday, May 28th. All this time we're naturally working on the storyline, but that will become available on launch day.

Please don't expect giant leaps in these updates as we're taking a lot less time with each one. The focus of these are improved stability, tweaks and fixes as well as a few light additions here and there.

For simplicity and since the list isn't as long as on our usual updates, I'll let go of our standard change-log sorting and simply post raw lists.

CHANGE-LOG

All fleet ships and warmasters passively repair while out-of-combat.
Proxima shipyard name changed to Proxima Construction Site.
While you have steering mode as active and you designate an auto-pilot destination via Starchart, upon closing the Starchart, steering mode is switched to cursos mode to prevent immediate auto-pilot disabling.

The Escape button now works as intended on the Fleet Transfer and Shipbuilding panels.
Fixed a bug that made the Construct button on the context menu use the Proxima icon.
Commanding a fleet into an ongoing battle didn't properly snap their destination waypoint. Now it does.
Energy shields surrounding stations now rotate in a proper fashion.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/04/22] V0.900 Quickfix I

Hello captains,

Here's the first quickfix, first of several I believe. Sorry it took this long for the first one. We're low on numbers these days as most of the team is in Dubrovnik for a developers conference, but things will get back to normal in a day or two at the max. In any case, the change-log is below :)

Various smaller script fixes

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warlords BETA update released, gearing up for final launch

Greetings captains,

As the title implies, with this 0.900 update, we're officially entering the beta stage. All the major features are implemented and what we'll be focusing on from this point onward are balancing, tweaks and fixes. This is all leading up to leaving Early Access which is planned for May 23rd.

Here's a little snippet of what you can expect with today's update:

Friendly neighborhood warmasters

Several warmasters are now ready and eager to join your ranks. Over time, they gain levels just as you do and even switch to more powerful ships.

Skills and classes overhauled, per community request

All the skills are now unlocked and ready to be unleashed on the enemy. During a respec, you can shuffle your skill-set in any way you like.

Music to my ears

The completely new soundtrack, made specifically for Warlords is now finally implemented.

Raiding glory

Additional gameplay mechanics allows meaningful raiding of enemy structures.

Conquest rewarding to the max

Capturing stations and planets yields extra rewards, one of which is the ability to construct ships in multiple locations, as the community requested.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

As we've announced in earlier updates, we were forced to do a save wipe. Saves made in previous versions no longer work! We had hoped we could make a soft reset to keep some of the data persist, but we've encountered numerous issues and a decision was made to start from a clean slate to ensure no ghost problems would persist. We apologize for this, but it was necessary.

As always, the entire changelog can be found on the discussion board.

We've added quite a bit of new features and issues can be expected. Please keep us in the loop and let us know what problems you encounter so we can fix 'em up as soon as possible.

Safe travels and good hunting, captains!

FIXES

Cloak can no longer be activated via shortcut while docked.
Scavenging derelicts with the Scavenger swarm now looks as planned. The derelict no longer simply disappears.
Fixed a problem with the beam weapon sounds not shutting down when an NPC stops firing.
In some cases, heavy weapons would constantly miss structures, as in a stationary target. This no longer happens.
Sometimes a heavy weapon would start circling around the target if it missed it. It no longer does this.
Fixed an error that made fleet tooltips display wrong.
Fleet ships now regenerate shields properly.
Fixed multiple issues related to playing sounds (multiple instances of the same sound playing, volume too high...)
You can no longer have both the (unpaused) context menu and the dialogue panel open at the same time.
Heavy weapon blast of your own heavy weapons no longer damages you, making heavy weapons more usable in general.
Fixed the Cruiser Familiarity perk.
In some cases, finishing a gladiatrix match, broke the camera. No longer.
Several voice notifications regarding port and starboard shields being damaged were switched and played at the wrong time.
In some cases, asteroid meshes were being drawn over the tactical overlay. This is now fixed.
Fixed a problem with weekly resource gain being displayed wrong.
A mesh from Concordia no longer appears on the opposite side of the game world for no apparent reason.
You can no longer fire heavy weapons on holographic structures.

Fixed an error where long texts in the Personal records panel were cut off and didn't display entirely.
While using a gamepad, going for saving a new game and then canceling, broke the UI and hid controller hints. This now works as intended.
Boarding/capturing now works on Hunt freelance job ships as planned.
Fixed several errors with encounters not working properly.
Music no longer stays quiet(er) when a dialogue ends.
In some cases, damaged ships would display VFX of that damage quite a distance away from the model itself.
Fixed several errors related to ship customization, especially when more ships were involved.

Fixed a problem where you could get stuck in the Prologue if you constructed the mining operation before you were meant to.
Fixed several issues with GUI elements not positioning properly on higher resolutions.
When attacking a garrison, capturing the last remaining enemy ship spawned another enemy ship in its place. This doesn't happen anymore.
When placing waypoint paths for your fleet to follow, T-Gates would be named Wormholes. This is now fixed and is displayed properly.
Fixed a problem with the scan VFX if you saved and loaded the game mid-scan.
Fog interfered with decal rendering on ships. This is now fixed.
Target Next / Previous enemy object now works as intended.
You can no longer skip a perk/research prerequisite while using a gamepad.
There was a problem hitting newly spawned derelicts, while they are still glowing hot.
In some instances you could shutdown T-Drive partially, where parts of the VFX would remain hanging.

- Exploring Gemini and generally doing stuff will unlock individual entries.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/03/20] Update v0.800 - Release the Kraken!

Welcome to a different Gemini, captains.

As we announced in the recent upcoming changes announcement, there's a great deal of new things in today's update so let's get on with it...

Time for some planet-bustin'

Take over the planets of Gemini as you see fit. They can no longer magically resist your conquest. Have the Proxima on the ready and start collecting those marbles. Fifteen planets (not counting Phaeneros) are waiting for you to rule them with an iron fist. And this is only the beginning, the base layer of sorts. More variety and improvements can be expected with the next update. To take over planets you'll need...

...The Proxima!

The most powerful destructive force in Gemini is now at your fingertips. You'll have to do some work to get to it, but it will be worth it!

I'll take that station, thank you

Bully the other factions into submission more than ever before! They have a station you want? Take it! ... Or don't... it's really up to you... We say Go for it!

Return of the fan-favorite boarding

You liked boarding in our previous game? Great! Well, we've got something new for you today: boarding v2.0 is up and running! Time to make some on-site choices. Just target a ship and Deploy troops. The boys can then work their way up to the command bridge and capture the ship. Once you have control, you can freely decide what to do with your spoils of war: keep it for yourself, sell it off, scuttle it for resources, give it to your war fleets or let your scientists and engineers break it down into parts to learn how to recreate the ship themselves.

Ask and ye shall receive! Behold the no-pause context menu!

I admit, it's not really a ground-breaking feature, but it was frequently requested. This is finally implemented and it is on by default. If you want things to be how they were, check the Options menu. We've got you covered.

The entire change-log is below!

Until next time,

Safe travels and good hunting, captains!

FIXES

Fixed an error with the Ram skill that could crash the game.
You'll no longer get stuck in a wormhole loop where you repeatedly pass through it.
In some cases, the auto-pilot wouldn't deactivate Sublight on time. Now it does.
In some cases, your war fleet forgot that the vast cosmos actually has the third axis and a garrison can be up or down. They will no longer get confused in such instances.
Sometimes, you couldn't access the Ship panel while using keyboard + mouse. This no longer happens.
Fixed several text-related errors with displaying objectives.
Fixed a number of errors and glitches on the Loot panel.
You can no longer collect loot while flying in Sublight. Using sublight uses up all the available power.
In several instances, it was possible that hostile ships decided to become friendly. No more. You're beating them up. They don't like that.
Fixed several actual errors and potential problems with the Salvage freelance job.
In some fringe cases, the repair stuck on 96% problem could still happen. This is the case no longer.
There were some instances where quest-related ships couldn't reach their destination, which could result in getting stuck in the prologue. These are now fixed.
Fixed an error where the video playback went nuts and started playing in-game commercials in the main menu background.
Fixed a number of errors that could lead to ships not receiving damage until a few seconds after they first appeared.
The suns are now properly named and displayed on the starchart.
Fixed a problem that would prevent plasma cannons from dealing any damage to NPCs. More precisely, the weapon couldn't hit the target at all.
Ship prices displayed in the Shipyard and in the Garage are now the same.
Sometimes the video commercials on Concordia decided not to play. They don't have the luxury of choice anymore.
There was a slight problem with the in-game camera. It was slightly tilted, but no longer.
Targetting T-Gates while using a controller is now working as intended.
In some cases, the enemies list of a faction could overlfow from the panel... and screen. This can no longer happen.
Fixed a lot of faulty scripts that would player sounds in the completely wrong place in the game world. You didn't have a chance to hear those sounds until now.
If you started a new game, cloaked up and then started new game again, your ship would be bugged up. This is no longer the case.
Heavy weapon hits now have corresponding impact SFX.
The load game screen no longer displays the keyname of the region, but rather its name.
In some cases, hitting an asteroid with a heavy weapon when the asteroid was already damaged, the asteroid mesh would not disappear. Now it does, as it should.
On the Ship->Equipment screen, if you had an empty slot selected, equipment hover tooltips wouldn't show. This is now rectified.
Fixed a couple of errors related to general bonuses that would prevent the displayed values from refreshing properly.
The targeting reticle now properly displays heavy weapon information.
Fixed an error that prevented SFX from playing in the Options panel when using a controller.
In some instances it was very difficult or impossible to merge two fleets that are too close to one another. This no longer happens.
Fixed an error related to the Jettison/Destroy actions that could bug up the entire panel, and game respectively.
You can no longer bug up Fire at will in combination with the Context menu, manifesting as continuous firing.
Fighters added to a wing via the Carrier-related perk are now properly placed in the wing formation, instead of all being in the same location.
Fixed a couple of errors with text formatting that prevented dynamic tokens from being displayed properly.
In some cases, NPC fleets wouldn't attack the player when he/she approached their garrison, but decided to loop around the garrison instead. This is now fixed.
The Credits you gain when you sell or trade in a ship is now equal.
Fixed a few errors in the Prologue. You had some weapons that weren't supposed to be there.
Heavy weapon hits can once again force-deactivate cloaking.
Saving and quicksaving is now disabled in some cases to prevent data corruption.
Changed a couple of code-checks to prevent hitting a ship shield from within (if that ship is non-hostile). If the ship is hostile, then you still hit the shield.
Fixed a problem that prevented the OnFriendFoeChange script event from firing off when linked in ship templates. This now works as intended.
Fixed a visual bug related to using Power distribution while in Sublight and while using a controller. It all now works as intended.
There was a problem with playing Heavy weapon fire SFX. This is now fixed and sounds should play normally.
Fixed a number of minor errors and done some tweaks in Freelance jobs (Installation defense mostly).
Done various scripting fixes and tweaks.
Fixed a number of text typos.
When you deplete ammo of a heavy weapon, the reload indicator on the reticle will no longer show the reloading phase.

ADDITIONS

The entire territory of Gemini can now be conquered. No more magically unconquerable areas. Please check the below remarks.
You can now assault and conquer planets
- To initiate planetary assault, you must have the Proxima built up and ready to go as it is an integral part of every planetary conquest.
- To actually trigger assaulting a planet, just get to the locations marked on the Starchart (grey Proxima icon near planets) and the assault starts automatically.
- If you just wanted to pass by, then simply continue on your merry way and the assault will shutdown.
- The first type of planetary assault is implemented and used for all planets, but more variety will be implemented in future updates.

Stations can be assaulted and conquered
- Stations are additionally guarded by defense platforms and shield generators (not to mention the defense fleets)
- To take over a station, neutralize the platforms and the defense fleet
- Some stations are zone controllers, which means you'll be getting the zone together with the station (these are marked as controllers on the starchart)
- There are stations that aren't controllers. You can take these over as well, but they don't grant you control over the zone that they're located in.
- Station assault progress can be monitored on the top-middle bar, while on-site.
You can now construct the largest badass in the game: the Proxima
- Upgrading the HQ Hangar to the max, gives you the ability to construct the Proxima shipyard near the HQ

- The Radar in the bottom left is switched with the boarding panel
- Boarding progress and player options are displayed there
- Boarding progress is done by Advancing through rooms

- Retreat commands your forces to get back to your ship
- Pillage commands your forces to stay awhile and do a special action in the room (outcome depends on what room they're currently in)
- Advance commands your forces to push forward into the next room. The end of course is the Command bridge, which if your troops tackle successfully, grants you control of the ship.
- A troops overview can be seen in the Ship panel
- Added a number of boarding-related Perks
- Added a number of boarding-related Research techs
Once you capture a ship you can choose what to do with it
- Let your guys take it to the Garage so you keep it for yourself
- Sell it off on-site for Credits
- Scuttle it for one-time Materials gain
- Give the ship away to your fleets so they get to use it
- Let your scientists play around with it, strip it down to the framework and reverse-engineer it and learn how you can construct the chassis.
  - The MK I version requires 2 captured chassis
  - The MK II version requires 5 captured chassis
  - You need to have the adequate Hangar level to be able to reverse-engineer ships
  - You need to have the appropriate Research tech completed to be able to reverse-engineer ships
Planets now grant resources
Stations now grant Credits (the numbers will be go through balancing as for now it is mostly symbolic)
Added ambiental particles in space (taking into account whether you're inside an asteroid field or not etc.)
Active pause added
- the default state is that the game is NOT paused while the Context menu is open
- added the option to toggle this feature in the options menu. Turn ON to pause game while context is open.
- The paused state of the context menu now looks different.
Added the Shield generator structure and related child-objects
- this structure is commonly used around stations
Changed the base sound system in the game to licensed FMOD
- This is the ground-work for all sound-related changes and tweaks.
Some Artefact vaults now grant a Perk point. Perk points are granted retroactively as well, if you already resolved an artefact.

A small exclusion zone is now marked on the Starchart, surrounding the stations of minor factions (those who don't control the zone).
Structures can now also be Marked as target.
Capturing a zone now triggers a special notification.
Implemented FMOD sound system.
Added additional VFX to the Commlink panel (the one in the top-left of the screen).
Added a bunch of loading screen hits (boarding, planet assault, station conquest, garrison assault...).
Some fleet commands issued via the starchart now come with their own sound effect.
Defense platforms can now hold and use heavy weapons.

TWEAKS

First script cleanup is done. Scripts that have ran without a problem consistently through the last couple of update have been rid of the logging code to improve performance]
Two Perks (and their upgraded variants) are eliminated from the game entirely
- Trainer
- Field commander
- You can no longer receive the Field commander perks in the Prologue character creation.
The HQ Construction panel updated and improved.
Heavy weapons overhauled
- Updated VFX
- Updated SFX
- Updated mechanics (you can evade projectiles manually)
- You can use Decoys (equipment) to mislead heavy weapons into missing you. Decoys are available on Concordia, among other places.
Align to plane visuals upgraded
T-Drive VFX upgraded
Wormhole and TGate pass-through visuals and audio updated
Done some minor tweaks on the Starchart (this is still a work-in-progress and will receive more luvin')
One of asteroid fields in the Phaehana region is tweaked
Merging of two fleets is now more fluid and natural. They no longer jump or teleport in any way.
Extended the potential size of equipment description labels on the Ship panel. The text will no longer be cut off.
Update the visuals of a number of structures (added particles in most cases)
Using Align to plane no longer deactivates auto-pilot.
Log icons in the Main category are removed. They were getting in the way and there was no point to them.
You can no longer Jettison cargo while docked/landed. If you need the room, sell some cargo off.
Incoming heavy weapons are now marked, both while on and off the main viewport.
Purchasing a new ship will NOT transfer battery turrets you've had on the previous one. You will get the money you spent on upgrading the previous ship though.
When purchasing a new ship, both light and heavy weapons are transferred over to the new one. Whatever can't fit is stored in the Systems inventory.
Heavy weapons no longer aim for the center of the target, but a point on the hull.
Further tweaked friendly fire parameters to prevent fast alignment switches and extensive friendly fire damage. Especially on captured ships.
Fire at will is now ON by default.
Firing a heavy weapon in the vicinity of a station will no longer drop framerate to illogical levels.
While Steam controller is active and in focus, the Controls panel shows its own specific image.
Ships from your own faction now have absolute tolerance to you firing on them.

Updated the Quick Start Guide
Defense platforms no longer have blindingly large explosions that cover the entire universe.
Changed several option names and removed a couple of (unused) options from the Launcher->Keybinding window.
Several things tweaked related to fleets and player on the Starchart
- Right clicking on the player, set the player as the top priority.
- Right-clicking on the player while a fleet is selected issues the Follow command.
- Fleets following the player are no longer displayed on the Starchart.
Fire at will IQ upped and will do its best ot hit the nearest elligible target (not counting marked targets)
Using the Remove waypoint button on the Starchart no longer stops the ship dead in its tracks, if you don't actually have a waypoint set.
Equipment cooldown and Equipment recharge are now more visually distinct.
Reduced Gas collector construction requirement
- You need to have Mining Ops level 1 (instead of 2)
If you have a ship Marked as target, using the Mark action on another ship no longer simply disables the flag on the first ship, but also marks the second ship as the new target.
Updated the GameLauncher to reflect the changes done to the config.

MODDING

Updated the DialogueEditor for a more user-friendly workflow
one-liner dialogues now reference actors by keyname instead of integer

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/02/23] Update v0.756 - Quickfix II

Hello again,

Another quickfix is no live. The focus was on stability and preventing some data corruption, but we fixed some other issues as well. Fire at will should no longer attack your own structures or that of your neutral or allied neighbors.

This is likely the final quickfix before the next full update planned for mid-March. We'll make an announcement on what you can expect, as we get closer to it.

As always, safe travels and good luck on your journeys!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/02/22] Update v0.756 - Quickfix I

Hello captains,

First quickfix for 0.756 is live now. We'll probably have another one tomorrow.

Fixed various scripting fixes to prevent potential errors and crashes
Fixed various typos in texts
Grapple effect now scales much like the scan effect does
Loading a game after dying will no longer cause your enemies to ignore you
The tactical overlay is now visible when inside nebulas
You can now lock onto a derelict by selecting its object marker and not only the model itself

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/02/21] Update v0.756 - Mass production it is

Greetings captains,

We're continuing on our update run. The changes are listed below. You'll notice we were focused on fixes more than anything else. There is a major change though. Equipment has gone through a major overhaul. You'll notice some are completely gone, while some were switched with a different variety. Your saves should work, but if they don't, please let us know so we can react.

As always, safe travels and good luck!

Change-log

Equipment overhaul
- Some new equipment added
- VFX changes
- Gameplay alterations on some equipment
Equipment availability increased (quantity)
You can now plug in a controller mid-game and it will work. Restart is no longer necessary. Provided the game recognizes the gamepad in the first place.
Personal records are now sorted. Latest additions on the top.
If you currently have 0 available civilian fleets, it will "flash" red.
In several panels, you could continuously press the B key (gamepad) and force refresh the panel. That's no longer possible in the Drydock, Construction and Ship panels.
When using a gamepad, some hints would "overflow" on the Starchart when a fleet was selected. No longer.
Fixed a bug that could lead to the game crashing on "All that glitters is gold" quest
Fixed a fleet related error that would manifest in the fleet standing idly, not doing anything. Now they act accordingly.
You can no longer declare war on yourself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/02/20] Quickfix II (or is it III already...) for v0.755

Hi everyone,

Got another quickfix for you today, focused primarily on stability issues (in combat, during loading etc.) and as usual, an improved log recording to get more info if/when the game goes bonkers.

Safe travels and good luck!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/02/17] Quickfix I for v0.755

Anyone who's been watching our progress already knows how it goes. Yep... we have a quickfix. The first one. We'll see if more are required. The changes are listed below:

Fixed a script error in the OnDestroy script of junkyards that could cause the game to malfunction.
Added new loading screen hints.
Added new visual effects for several items (Atlas, Claok disruptor, Shield booster, Hull integrity field, Energy defense field, Radiation defense field).
- Equipment is currently undergoing changes and it will be finalized for the next full update.
Fixed a critical script error when using the exit function.
Fixed a bug related to Maintenance freelance mission where repairing would get stuck on 96%
Fixed a bug that would cause the game to crash on the Salvage freelance mission
Encounter quests are once again spawning properly and their waypoint is updated as intended
Improved data recording in the log to provide more info (of key importance to palyers experiencing the white screen issue)
Numerous smaller stability fixes in code
Numerous scripting fixes to increase stability

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/02/16] Update v0.755 - It's bigger than it looks... honestly

Hello fellow captains!

Although the last quickfix was roughly just a week ago, we've got some new stuff ready for you to browse. We've placed a large focus on tweaks and features that were requested by the community in this smaller-than-usual-but-still-surprisingly-big update, along with our regular roster of bugfixes, tweaks and new stuff. The complete change-log can be found below as always, but I'll mention several things right away:

Free-look camera

Do you remember those many times something like Why don't you just make the camera behave like in all other 3rd person games today? What's your problem LGM? popped up on the forums? Well, we finally gave in and implemented it. This is now the default turret view camera (steering mode, mind you), but if you prefer the one we used so far, you can easily enable it in the Options.

Hey you! I'm going to beat you into a pulp!

Ah... the simple joy of declaring a war... If an AI faction has a nice piece of territorial real-estate that you simply must have and the faction in question was neutral or (heavens forbid) friendly to you, up until now you were in a pickle. You had to manually drop your stance with them to hostile before unleashing the full destructive potential of your armada. With this update, you can simply send your fleet and a nice little prompt asks you to confirm that reducing them to molecules is what you actually intended to do.

Freelancing with my homies

There are a couple of added, more difficult freelance jobs, meant to be tackled together with your fleet. Adding this made more sense than disabling gameplay segments.

Those are naturally just a few snippets from the change-log so please feel free to check the entire list on the forum.

And a few finishing lines to address a couple of features frequently noted on the forum:

Malfunctioning T-Gates can still not be repaired.
Boarding and capturing ships is not yet implemented.

I apologize to keep you waiting on the above. We're doing our best to get those features implemented as soon as possible.

Until next time,

Safe travels and good hunting, captains!

FIXES

You can no longer create the <i>endless loop of following</i>, but commanding your fleet to follow you, and then you follow that fleet.
Pressing the Shift key while on the Starchart properly changed the cursor icon to see you're adding waypoints to the path, but the same wasn't true of using LB on controllers. This is now fixed.
You can no longer click on station menu buttons while they aren't visible.
In some instances you could perpetually toggle Sublight on and off by holding the A button (controller).
Giving the Go to command via context menu now properly places and marks the destination waypoint.
Accessing the Perks or Research panel with the mouse and then switching to the controller didn't select the proper item in the panel. Now it does.
Fixed a couple of bugs or weird info feedback on the Perks and Research panels (for example a researched tech showing it is at 100%... why, just why?)
Ship systems and other purchasable items now have the properly calculated and displayed prices wherever you look on stations and planets.
You can now remove a destination waypoint from your fleet.
In some cases the "+1 Perk" notification went nuts. This happens no longer.
Fixed a but that would cause the Repair button to go missing or be disabled in the context menu (and on a Maintenance mission of all things...)
Perpetually pressing the A button on the controller while in Dryodock -> Equipment panel, would also perpetually refresh the panel for no real reason.
If a planet is targeted, but not currently visible on-screen, it is now properly marked with the arrow pointing you in the direction of the planet.
Fixed several instances where on-screen hints went missing if you were using a controller.
Random dialogues with ships should no longer get into a loop.
Double-tapping to initiate Sublight (controller) will now display the appropriate warning if your Sublight capablities are temporarily disabled.
If you typed in a new name on the character creation screen and then started a completely new game, the name you typed in was remembered. This is no longer the case.
Fixed several issues related to dropping or destroying cargo that could lead to the game crashing.
Jettisoned and then collected loot will no longer remain hanging in space even though it's emtpy.
The cursor will no longer change form if you're hovering over an AI fleet obscured by fog of war.
Fixed a couple of text errors in the Options -> Controls panel
Fixed a couple of text errors in the Options -> General panel
Until now you could only command your fleet to follow you ONCE. This now works as intended and you can reissue the command as many times as you want to.
Fixed a bug that would cause the game to crash when extracting gas pockets.
In some instances, the Power redistribution panel would not budge when using a controller.
Fixed an error that would cause T-Gates near planets and stations to start blinking when you placed a waypoint near them.
Fixed a bug related to Commodity production templates (stations & planets) that prevented some parameters to be loaded properly.
Fixed a number of scripting errors.
Fixed several actual and potential bugs related to displaying reputation change notifications.
Fixed several actual and potential bugs related to displaying faction alignment change notifications.
Skill tooltips no longer mysteriously appears when you die.
While using a controller, Wormholes didn't provide any hint as to why you cannot construct a T-Gates on them.
Fixed an issue where a disabled Construct button would appear on a someone else's wormhole.
You can no longer scan anomalies while in Sublight.
Fixed a couple of bugs related to T-Drive (and done some slight changes)
- T-Drive no longer remains active when loading a new game
- You cannot save while using T-Drive
- You cannot quicksave while using T-Drive
- You cannot use Align to plane while using or activating T-Drive
- If you activate T-Drive while aligning to plane, the latter will stop immediately

[2017/02/08] Critical quickfix!!

Greetings captains,

We have several fixes for you today. One of them is absolutely crucial since it can mess up your save file. Please read the below change-log.

FIXES

Fixed a critical issue related to structures created via scripts that could mess up your save file.
- The symptoms were quite different however and it manifested with conquered garrisons suddenly turning hostile. This will no longer happen, BUT(!) if you experienced this problem and you continued playing and saved, that IS a problem. Your save file is unfortunately corrupt and we can't fix it dynamically. Please load an older save file before the problem occurred.
The grapple related issue on the side quest should no longer exist.
Ships you have already built and were waiting for you on your HQ "storage" will now properly appear beside the HQ.
Known factions flags were not properly purged from memory when starting a new game. Now they are.
Fixed a wrong alignment problem in the dialogue panel.
You can no longer change T-Drive destination while in T-Drive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/02/07] Quickfix v0.753 - Give them bugs a smackin'

Hello hello hello, captains!

Here's the latest quickfix so that's three in total with the previous two in the last couple of days. We've done our best to fix as many bugs as possible, but also to continue tweaking and adding new stuff.

A big thank you goes to everyone for playing and providing your feedback (and game logs)!

No sense in yammering about it all. Check out the change-log below!

FIXES

Some of you have noticed that your legacy saves loaded up with an empty garage. The thieves were caught and you've got your ships back.
Fixed a cut-off text issue of the Borehole torpedo tooltip.
In some instances, the loading screen hints could crash the game. They no longer have this superpower.
AI fleets will no longer decide to switch sides and become your fleet if you've captured their native zone and loaded the game. The traitors...
Fixed a problem with the game not accepting a mouse sensitivity setting different from 0.5.
Typing "F" while saving the game will no longer trigger the game to do strange things. It will simply type "F"... as it should...
Buttons properly provide visual feedback when they aren't available even if you're constantly hovering over them.
The logo videos on starting the game no longer decide to loop excessively.
Fixed a bug with the intro logo videos that would crash the game
Fixed an issue with some ships losing their engine trails.
In some instances if you used the Ram or the Shockwave skill and docked, the VFX on your ship would remain visible. This no longer happens.
The "Refit" research group didn't enable the object of the research for purchase. This now works as intended.
Fleet names are now stored and loaded as intended.
Fixed a frequent issue with beam weapon effects hanging in space, like they got nothing better to do.
In some cases, fleet battle auto-resolve could get all messed up when one of the fleets had a warmaster in its ranks. The battle timer would remain hanging on 0:00.
If you attempt to tell your local militia (they sometimes get spawned near your garrison) to follow you, the game would crash. This is not the case anymore.
Fixed a bug where your fleet would sometimes autonomously decide not to join an ongoing battle. From now on, they will do their duty.
The Shipbuilding icon no longer goes beyond its boundaries.
In some cases, ongoing research progress wasn't saved properly. Now it is.
In some instances the Research Activate button was disabled when you didn't have enough resources to start researching a tech even though you already paid your dues since the tech in question was only paused.
In the Dialogue panel, the character portrait could sometimes overlap the character's name. This is now fixed.
Fixed an issue that would get you stuck in the Prologue if you build the first mining operation via the context menu.
Enhancement names were displayed wrong in their tooltips. Not anymore.

ADDITIONS

You can now fire your light weapons while Fire-at-will is active. When you stop firing, the Fire-at-will resumes business as usual.
If a skill is disabled, the reason for it will now be shown on its tooltip.
A number of structures have now gained a visual addition when you upgrade them. We'll be adding these models as they are finished.
Structure OnPulse scripts no longer work while the structure is being constructed or upgraded. This could reduce framerate and look weird.
Paused research is now automatically restarted once the current research is finished.
New mission markers added to the Starchart.
Added a bunch of new tooltips

TWEAKS

When opening the Customization panel, the first selected tool is "Stamp".
Since Fire-at-will is upgraded, the loading screen hint is updated accordingly.
When opening the Drydock->Loadout panel, the "Drydock" filter is active by default instead of "Your ship".
Newly constructed fleet ships now appear near the HQ instead of on/in it.
Player name and surnames are now limited to 30 characters each (though length of the words still apply which can clip your name/surname in some instances).
The Delete button on the Fleet management panel is now named Scuttle. It seems more appropriate.

MODDING

Equipment description is now referenced by keyname rather than integer identifier in the Items.wdt.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/02/03] Quickfix numero 2 or v0.752!

Hello! Quickfix 2 is here! No big stories or anything today. Just the change-log. We hope this will relieve some of the issues some of you are having with the game. Please don't hesitate to let us know how it works and what you think of it all!

FIXES

T-Drive will no longer decide to drive you to the waypoint you set earlier, but rather to the destination you chose when activating the equipment.

Fixed a tiny bug that left the Upgrade button on the Skills panel displayed as usable even if you don't have any unused skill points left.

If the game launcher cannot recognize a gamepad that is currently plugged into your computer, it will no longer crash, but simply reject it. To help us implement full support for the gamepad of your choice, please run the game (NOT the launcher!) with the gamepad plugged in and then send us your game log.txt (installation folder). Email us at customersupport@starpointgemini.com and please include "[UNKNOWN CONTROLLER]" in the subject or the text of the email or something so we can find it more easily.
Fixed a bug that left gamepad shortcuts visible on the wrong panel after deleting a save file.
The situation in which a fleet moving on a waypoint chain path is intercepted is now properly handled and marked on the Starchart. Nothing is left hanging.
Fixed a couple of bugs related to completely emptying a fleet via the Transfer panel.
If you die while you're Ramming, the skill will no longer remain active and crash your game on load or starting a new game.
Fixed a problem where collision meshes were wrongly initialized (on the wrong actor and strange stuff like that). It woudln't exactly crash the game, but you can imagine that things wouldn't exactly work as intended.
Fixed a number of text-related errors.
If you docked while the Ram skill was active, the skill would simply start all over when you undocked. This no longer happens.
You can no longer see the word "ERROR" below a skill name.
Fixed a bug where the OnLevel up script (VFX) would continue to work in the background when you docked. If in that situation you undocked, the game could have crashed.

ADDITIONS

Added functionality to the NX Scanner research (under Civilian fleets). Once this is researched, you can have a more detailed view of the AI fleets and their composition.
Added an on-screen notification when a faction changes its alignment towards you.

TWEAKS

While a resource structure is being upgraded, you now properly gain the resources it produces.
You now have a visible list of ships available on your HQ (after they're built, they appear there).
Your own fleets' composition is now displayed as ship classes instead of individual chassis. Indiviual chassis are still visible in the management panel.
During auto-pilot, with a chained waypoint path, the next waypoint on that trajectory is now marked in the viewport, instead of the last one.
Cleaned up some junk that was being recorded in the game log.txt for no apparent reason. In some instances, this can increase framerate.
Cycling through fleets with the shortcuts (Q/E on the Starchart) now skips fleets that are currently engaged in battles.
The auto-pilot on a T-Gate now properly auto-docks on the said T-Gate.
Activating any skill now shuts down cloak.
Orpheus mine (equipment) is now switched to a new system enabling us to easily add additional mines and assemble as equipment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/02/01] Quickfix numero 1!

Evening ladies and gentlemen. Although it looked bleak for a moment there, in the end we managed to get the update rolling. Here's the change-log

An object, north of Concordia was in some cases marked on the Starchart even though it was obscured by fog-of-war. It isn't anymore.
When starting a new game, there was a black screen for an instant. That doesn't happen any more.
Hovering the mouse over Skills now displays the appropriate tooltip.
In some cases, during the Prologue, the Waypoint leading back to Concordia, would disappear. No longer.
You can no longer use up the Scavenger swarm without a derelict as the target.
Fixed a couple of minor errors related to T-Gates and Wormholes
For some reason, the Upgrade button on the context menu could sometimes get spontaneously renamed to Build.
Fixed a bug that could crash the game if you set the autopilot to Concordia through the multiple selection panel.
A fully upgraded structure no longer shows you're missing some Upgrade prerequisites when trying to use the Upgrade button.
The Hail action is deactivated in a lot of cases. You more than likely won't notice it since it got deactivated on objects that had nothing attached to that event.
Made sure friendlies won't turn on you when using skills.
Multiple selection (starchart) can now be properly used with the gamepad
Added several videos to the holo panels in hangars
Models were compressed in yesterday's update. This one brings packaged assembly and some other files to speed up loading some more. Combined, this is the first step to reduce that stutter a lot of you are encountering. More steps will be made.
Added support for the Logitech f310 and 710 gamepad.
You can now properly save (type in the name) using the gamepad.
Civilian tasks now properly appear without loading the game.

Safe travels captains!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2017/01/31] Because... Conquest - Update 0.750

Hello captains,

We're proud and happy to release the largest update for Warlords in Early Access. As we announced in December, we had some very important features to implement and I can say that it all found its way into the update. These features are not 100% complete yet as is noted in the complete changelog, but the bulk is in and we're very interested in what you ladies and gentlemen have to say about it all.

I'll go over the key things:

Building the reputation system from the ground up

The old reputation went out the window. A completely new system is now implemented. Be ready to juggle individual reputation with each faction in Gemini, but it's never that simple. Factions have friends and enemies of their own and you can bet that any ally of a faction you beat into a pulp will not be overly thrilled with you either. You'll make new friends though, among their enemies of course.

Overhaul of the fleet mechanics

You arrived at the location of your fleet only to find no one there? Were you worried that they got lost in space (TM)? Worry no more! From now on, they'll be there, each and every time. If you send them on a mission, they will not disappear on the way there, but you can still follow them every step of the way if you want to make sure. Fleets can be merged or divided in any way you want. If you fancy small task forces, simply have smaller fleets (only more of them) or maybe you're more on the megalomaniac side and you'll dump all of your ships into one massive fleet ready to stomp on your enemies... Your choice as always...

Conquest bits and pieces

The new fleet mechanics goes hand in hand with the additions and changes to the general conquest mechanics. Command one of your fleets to follow you into battle, or send them to do everything on their own and join in for a bit if you wish. Your fleets will fight the good fight whether you're there or not. They know their duty!

But that's not all! The AI fleets move about just like yours do and factions will attack you if they feel like it. They can be rude like that...

Oh... and you're no longer forced to attack only garrisons. You can pit your fleet against the enemy fleet directly. Smash their heads first and then move in to turn the garrison into rubble. Fun fun fun...

Researching the good stuff

Time to put those lazy scientists to work. Get them started on a project, flood them with the resources they need and wait for results. You'll be pleased with what they develop. There's no stopping progress!

Hannibal is at the T-Gates

The T-Gate network is back in business! Use a T-Gate to reach any other functioning and discovered T-Gate in the world. Oh and it can't belong to your enemies. They lock those down... and throw away the key. Then you can reach the gate the old-fashioned way and take it for yourself. Who are they to shut the door in your face!? Or maybe you're more into adventures. If that's the case, you can hop into a wormhole and see where that takes you...

As always, we're looking forward to seeing you on the discussion board. Whether you encounter a problem and wish to tell us we suck or you want to discuss an upcoming or implemented feature, you're more than welcome to post your thoughts.

Safe travels captains. See you in space.

v0.750 CHANGE-LOG

FIXES

Civilian tasks now properly appear in freeroam.
Fixed a bug with a certain derelict in the Prologue that could crash the game.
Fixed a bug where object markers would appear only once any other object was targeted first.
In some instances heavy weapons wouldn't properly fire or hit an enemy. This is no longer the case.
Fixed a wrong base link problem that could sometimes happen when purchasing and new ship that has a hangar, and then saving-loading.
Some station radar markers could be outside of the radar boundaries. No longer.
Some hangar-related elements were left hanging when exiting the game. This is now fixed.
On the customization screen, the cursor had an offset from where the actual painting is taking place. This is no longer the case.
Fixed a problem with camera zoom in hangars. Even though the camera was moving nowhere, the game memorized how much you "zoomed out".
Fixed an issue that could in some cases sort saves alphabetically, instead of by the Last modified date.
In some instances, the Scavenger swarm drones could go nuts and start circling around the equipment user, instead of the target.
The game will no longer crash when opening the Systems tab, while in space and when you had unassigned fighter wings.
Fixed a number of potential issues that could corrupt the save file.
In some cases you could use up a Scavenger swarm, but not get anything from a derelict, due to the game thinking there was no target. This no longer happens.
In some instances, the Class name on the character creation screen would display "ERROR" instead of the proper name. This no longer happens.
Fixed a bug that would flip the material of a ship when it was being scanned.
When starting a new game, the notification queue decided to continue its job from the previous session. Not anymore.
Fixed a number of smaller issues that, when combined, meant you could no longer collect artefacts.
Fixed a bug where you could get invisible planets.
In several instances, you could get the game to automatically do an Align to plane after undocking. You can do this no longer.
Several button icons were displayed wrong in the station interface. This is now fixed.
Until now you could shift power distribution on your ship, while docked, which would completely mess up the GUI.
Station name label is now properly animated when docking.
When clicking on New game, while you're already in a session, the game will now properly prompt which scenario to start instead of deciding on your behalf.
Enhancements no longer have a universal, but hidden price tag of 15,000 Credits. They now cost the displayed amount of Credits.
Sometimes, the game decided to give the wrong tooltip information on the Systems tab. This no longer happens. The game behaves nicely.
In some cases, the GUI would get all messed up (the Overview panel to be more exact) when doing some clickin' on the other tabs and then reverting back to Overview.
The game will no longer crash when you switch from a ship that has a hangar to a ship that doesn't.
Properly synced the ship name on all panels.
The camera no longer starts shaking when an NPC uses RAM on another NPC.
Did a pass through all the models in the game and set the Alpha test parameter to the necessary default of 0.0 value. Otherwise we'd be seeing see-through models all around.
Fixed a bug where the dialogue window would weirdly overlap other panels.
Fixed an issue with the Mark target command that in some cases simply didn't want to work, but it looked like it was.
The suns of Gemini are no longer visible through planets.
Fixed several bugs with the Staunched defender perks.
Pressing the Esc button while you're naming a save file will no longer close the panels in the background and resume the game.
NPCs no longer possess the third eye, giving them the ability to see you when you're cloaked.
Various script errors and potential errors fixed to improve stability
Fixed an exploit in the Shipbuilding panel that allowed for limitless Materials and Credits.

ADDITIONS

Added full controller support into the game (the launcher is still a work-in-progress)
- Currently Xbox One, Xbox 360 and similar controllers are properly supported.
- If your controller doesn't work, start the game with the controller plugged in and then send us the game log.txt. All the data we need for full implementation is recorded in the log.
- Steam controller and Dualshock support are on the way.
- If your gamepad is plugged in, simply nudge it a bit, and you're good to go. If you want to revert back to keyboard & mouse controls, nudge the mouse. The switch is seemless as long as the gamepad was plugged in during the startup of the game.
- A controls reference can be found in-game in the Options->Controls panel.
Reputation mechanics is completely redesigned and built up from scratch.
- You now have an indivudual, separate reputation with each faction.
- All actions you do (or one of your fleets does) affect your reputation with the target faction.
- Factions that are enemies or allies of the target faction, are also affected by your actions, but in a lesser degree.
- The Reputation panel is redesigned to be more user friendly.
- Factions only appear in the Reputation listing after you've discovered them.
- The numeric reputation representation goes from -10,000 to +10,000.
- Alignment of the Solari Concord with other factions, follow your reputation closely. Yes... this means you cannot go to war with your own faction. At least for now. We'll see if this gets changed in any way.
- Further tweaks will come in future updates.
Your mighty fleets are now real. The entire fleet management and movement system is overhauled and large parts were redesigned
- Fleets no longer snap or teleport to their destination, but rather travel there properly. You can freely follow them around if you wish.
- Fleet ships now cost Command points (along with the resource cost) which limits how many (and how strong) ships you can have at any given moment
- The largest ship classes are also limited by the number of Supercapital ships you can have at any given moment
- Unlock better ships in the Research panel
- Some necessary changes were done to the Ship-building screen, which can now be accessed through the in-game menu and the Concordia station interface, and not just via the Starchart
- Each constructed ship is now automatically a fleet (the number of fleets is no longer limited). Command them as you would any other fleet.
- To join two fleets, simply send one to connect with the other. A simple right-click will do.
- You can also divide a fleet by selecting and pressing the appropriate button to start the transfer. A new fleet is automatically created.
- You can command one of your fleets to follow you around. You naturally assume the position of the fleet leader.
- You can assign a multi-waypoint path for your fleet to follow in the same manner as you can for your own autopilot (SHIFT + RMB to queue up waypoints).
- Events linked to your fleets are covered with numerous notifications.
- At the moment you cannot send your war fleets to attack a faction that is neutral or friendly to you. For now, you have to bring the reputation down to hostile before you can start an all-out war. This will be changed as soon as possible.
Conquest and auto-resolve revamped
- You can easily step into an ongoing conquest battle by arriving to the location.
- Leaving the area will properly continue the auto-resolve.
- A conquest battle progress bar now appears at the top of the screen to show you how the battle is progressing.
- You can find a form of the battle progress bar on the Starchart as well. It makes sense to have the info no matter where you are in Gemini, no?
- Zone controllers (when you take over these, you take over the zone) are now specifically marked on the Starchart. Stations and planets are currently NOT marked this way, since you cannot take them over for now. This means you cannot take over these zone, also for now.
- NPC faction will now also decide to take you on. Don't expect their fleets to stand idly anymore.
Warmasters are up and about
- These lil' guys may seem like all the other ships in the fleet, but they are not. They are more powerful and more resourceful.
- You'll notice them by a special icon (skull/star) on their object markers/target lock. And you also might notice them when they start using Vanguard skills in combat, just like the player.
- Unfortunately a small disappointment comes here. You can't have them yet. (dramatic piano music accompanied by yours truly sobbing in the corner) Only NPC fleets feature these buggers for now(!). We'll work to make them available to you ladies and gents to pester and send on suicide missions ASAP!
Research the good stuff
- You can access the Research panel either through Concordia interface or via the in-game menu from anywhere in space.
- Research takes time and costs resources.
- Some techs are currently locked until we implement them completely.
- As the above sentence states, the best stuff can only be researched (for now... we'll probably add some unique things that you can obtain through side quests, once we come to that point)
- Research of a specific tech can be paused at any time by simply starting research on another tech. You can resume the previous tech at a later time with no additional cost.
- The research mechanic (running it all in the background) allows for a lot more nifty stuff to be added and it will be further expanded in future updates (imagine speeding up / boosting the research of your own battleship, by dragging a captured battleship of another faction to your HQ... stuff like that)
- The Lab rat Perk is now unlocked and working properly. Makes sense to implement it since Research is in...
Time for some chatter. NPCs are no longer completely silent, but rather like to share info on what they're doing and what's going on.
- More voices will be added over time.
Structures can now be upgraded (not all of them, but resources structures and garrisons have this ability)
- Before an upgrade is possible, you have to research this ability first.
- Upgrading costs resources and takes time, but naturally brings rewards.
Fast travelling is here to stay
- Wormholes have reappeared in Gemini, getting ready to drag unsuspecting victims and spitting them out at the other end of the star system
- Construct T-Gates to tame the wormholes and create stable passages
- Using T-Gates doesn't cost any Credits
A complete side quest chain is now added.
- Look for hints around Phaeneros or stumble upon it on your travels.
- Only one such <i>chain</i> is added, so please don't be surprised if you can't find more for now.
Added three new ships (Sanctum fleet), all temporarily available at Concordia
- Adhara - corvette
- Apollo - destroyer
- Poseidon - battleship
You can now set multiple waypoints to your autopilot to follow as a path.
- Use SHIFT + RMB (keyboard & mouse) to stack waypoints.
- Chain waypoints through pairs of neutral or friendly T-Gates to give a fast travel order.
Added Bink Video © support which enabled us to...
- Add various videos to play in some hangars (Phaeneros & Concordia as examples).
- This whole bit will be further expanded on and refined to be used for UI, visual effects and/or news in the future.
When starting a new scenario (campaign or freeroam), you can now choose between several starter ships.
Three start scenarios are now available
- Early Access - the standard Prologue serving as a tutorial etc.
- Early Access Freeroam - pure, simple conquest mode (no prologue), starting at level 1 and a choice between several gunships
- Early Access Freeroam+ - pure, simple conquest mode (no prologue), starting at level 8 and a choice between several frigates
Added several new station models
- Yxaril
- Nyx battlestation
- Nyx tradeport
- Nyx depot
Orphiel foundry (unique structure) is added to the game. You can look for it in the Astralia region.
Added a new OnCriticalHit effect (VFX and SFX).
When docked, you can now hide the station interface and admire your ship in all its glory.
Tooltips are now displayed on the Drydock panels.
Added notification for starting and ending a construction of a structure.
Added SFX to a number of objects in the game.
The Concordia Construction screen can now be accessed via the in-game menu, and not just through the Concordia interface
Added a small intermediary step when clicking on an object on the Starchart, when it is overlapping another.

TWEAKS

Models (.mdl files) are now binary compressed to improve loading times.
Non-hostile NPCs are now more tolerant towards friendly fire. They won't attack you almost instantly. You have to tick them off some more first.
Vanguard skills that use distance in their calculations are now updated.
The Shockwave skill changed
- Increased maximum level to 10
- Skill is automatically upgraded every 5 character levels
Atmospheres of all planets tweaked.
Tweaked and improved several ambients and nebulas
The main menu background is no longer a still image, but a video
Optimized script memory usage
Updated the visual and audio feedback on levelling up (the notificaion on the left).
Optimized the loading of save files (world loading, player and camera sync, unnecessary loading of objects that aren't visible from the start...).
Updated the Credits gain per zone, with and without applied Perks that modify this.
Ships you cannot purchase for whatever reason, are now painted red in the Available ships list.
Tweaked the placement of a number of elements on the Construction panel. This panel is slated for overhaul.
Tweaked the placement of several elements on the Ship->Systems screen.
Changed how and when the Tactical overlay activates and deactivates.
The game no longer automatically loads the autosave when you die. It actually politely gives you the option to choose which save to load.
Changed the boundaries of several ambients / skyboxes so they fit better.
Changed what equipment the player starts with both in Conquest and Campaign.
Optimized rendering and selection distance for planets.
Updated the Quick Start Guide to reflect the latest additions and changes.
Tweaked SFX distance at which they are heard for Reclaimers and various other structures.
Auto-repair facility updated
- Added visual and audio effect while repairs on your ship are under way.
- Tweaked the repair parameters.
Normalized all weapon sound effects.
Added a number of new Gas pocket visuals. They are ambient specific, so it might take a bit of time to find them.
Heavy weapons visual effects are improved.
Equipment icons redone in a more schematic style.
Reworked some GUI elements like various icons and the like. We're not done with this yet, but there's no point in not releasing it to the interested public.
Align to plane got a visual redesign.
Reworked a number of starchart icons (planet, object markers, selection...).
Some GUI elements were shuffled around to make room for accessing the new features (Station Leave button for example is now on the right side of the screen).

MODDING

Turrets (from Turrets.wdt) are now referenced by keyname rather than int ID in the LightWeapons.wdt.
Added BehaviorEditor.exe to the game installation folder. This lil' program is used to assemble combat AI routines.
Fixed a number of issues with the DialogueEditor (installation folder) used to assemble dialogues (Really? I never would have guessed...)
Updated scripterion.fdl (used by Scripterion)
Updated the NP++ language markup and API files

[2016/12/20] 0.702 - A tiny update to cure some lingering CTDs

Hello captains,

Long time, no hear, but here's a little patch for you. We aren't in the situation to release a full update yet I'm afraid. We're working on a whole lot of things at the moment and, as it usually goes, they're mostly interconnected. We have to finish them all before we can compile a proper update for you ladies and gents.

I'll leave the details of the upcoming update for the next announcement, and in the meantime, you can find the changelog for this 0.702 quickfix below.

As always, please let us know and send us your game logs if/when you encounter problems with the game.

Stay tuned and safe travels, captains!

On high framerate, coming near an object that triggers the Quickaction to appear, could crash the game. Not anymore.
Several scripts related to random dialogues with ships have been fixed to prevent minor and major errors (like CTDs)
Fixed a problem the Starchart would overlap other HUD elements after you've constructed a structure
Fixed an issue related to targeting a derelict that could cause the game to crash
Power pack is out of the game, since it, well... doesn't do anything anymore
Tweaked the notification panel (on the left side of the screen) to provide more relevant information
The scan effect on artefact vaults should now display properly
Fixed an issue with how light is rendered since it went crazy in some cases
Using the Shockwave skill could sometimes crash the game. That is no longer the case.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/11/18] Quickfix for 0.7 update

Evening ladies and gentlemen. Well, it's more than likely morning or mid-day for some, but for us here in Croatia it's night.

We've got a nice little quickfix for you today. I have nothing else fancy to say (it's not really like I usually do, but hey...). The changelog is below, as usual.

0.701 CHANGE LOG

Added another new game scenario. Freeroam this time and please keep in mind this scenario HAS NO TUTORIAL! What you do get is the absence of the prologue, like you asked for.
In-game settings, the keybinding now draw their names from misc.txt, instead of directly from the database
Frame limit is now removed, but keep in mind that VSync MUST BE SET TO OFF in order for this to work properly.
The Garage can now be accessed on all space stations, and not just Concordia. This might be removed later, but it's still to be decided.
Fixed a problem with rendering the animation of the Align to plane action
Skills can no longer be used during Sublight

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/11/17] Mod me gently with the 0.700 update for Warlords

The word of the day for us at LGM is modding. Not really surprising considering the soon-coming reward-dealing mod-contest. We have a number of tutorials, guides, articles and template mods ready for you, but this is only the beginning. We'll be pushing a lot of such materials over the course of production, especially as new features are implemented.

The full update change-log can be found below and once more there's quite a lot of it, but please don't be disappointed with the less-than-usual amount of new features. We were terribly busy with mod integration and the necessary changes.

Why you do this? you might ask. Well, that modding contest I mentioned above... It's starting in a just a bit and staging a mod-creation contest without the game actually being moddable isn't such a good idea, is it ;). If you're interested, check out the linked Moddb page and give modding Warlords a try!

One thing I'd like to point out right away: Do NOT mod enhancements just yet. It's doable, but once we're done with their re-work, your mods won't work anymore and you'd have to do some serious updating. So it's better to wait a bit with those (next update more than likely).

If the tutorials are not providing all the answers you need, please don't hesitate to post your questions in the modding sub-forum or send us an email directly on modding@starpointgemini.com .

We're really looking forward to seeing your handywork!

Here's a little guide on how to use mods:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=800162260

and some basics on how to publish them on Steam.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=796362662

Safe travels, captains!

v0.700 CHANGE-LOG

FIXES

Commodity description text was cut-off in some instances, on the Trader panel.
While docked, if you placed a Go To waypoint on some distant location, then switched Go To back on the current location, the autopilot would still proceed to the first location marked. This is no longer the case.
Firing weapons disables cloak, regardless if you've actually hit anything or not. This mechanic will be further updated.
The SETH platform weapons had a weird offset from its turrets. This is now fixed.

The hangar will no longer disappear if you open the Starchart while landed.
Enemy fleets will now be visible when it is appropriate, instead of "hiding" from you.
Heavy weapon blast radius is now displayed properly
In some cases your new ship could mysteriously get the paintjob of your previous ship, after loading. This doesn't happen any more.
In some instances, your camera youd decide to switch between modes on its own. This should no longer happen, but if it does, please let us know.
Fixed a problem that could potentially corrupt save files. Better safe than sorry.
Average damage of a weapon on the Systems tab is now displayed properly
In some cases, collision meshes would remain after a structure was destroyed. No more hitting invisible walls.
Collecting gas pockets from very close distances will no longer bug up the visual effect.
You can no longer double-collect the same gas pocket at the same time.
Several errors with hints and notifications are now fixed. Some words could get doubled or the shadow could decide to have a life of its own.
Using Esc button to exit the Controls tab in the Settings panel, no longer Applies the changes, but reverts them
The Loki and Loki MKII (or "B") now use separate schematic images, as intended
Loki_B ship now has the proper name displayed, instead of "ERROR"
In some instances the Starchart could get bugged up after selecting and deploying a civilian fleet

Attempting to Ram (as in skill) into a dying object could crash the game, but not anymore.
On exiting the game, the log.txt was riddled with Errors related to collision meshes. This issue is now cleared just to make sure nothing remains hanging in memory.
When you destroy a piece of junk, the target lock will no longer remain hanging on-screen for the next 10 seconds
If you were using the Chase camera and then Rammed into the target, the resulting perpetual camera shake could cause nausea. This is now fixed.
Entering a hangar will remove all effects of a nearby anomaly.
For an instant, the fog-of-war would disappear when closing the Starchart. Now it doesn't.
Ship maneuverability is now displayed as intended.
There was a potential problem where textures would get loaded into memory several times, causing memory leaks.
Skill descriptions are no longer cut-off
The cursor no longer gets bugged-up when you finish a quest
If you docked while the Level up animation was taking place, you'd get a completely different ship. And the next time you leave the station the game would crash... Go figure how that makes any sense...
Using the Grapple action is now possible on proper distance to target
Destroying a floating container (props object type) no longer triggers the target lock to remain hanging in space.

Fixed a number of script issues that could potentially cause other problems

Greetings earthlings,

Here's another quick one for you fair ladies and gentlemen. As the other day, the change-list is below :)

In some cases, the game could crash when closing the Customization panel with Esc.
Tweaked the scan effect to make the line crossing over objects more visible.
When using the auto-pilot while you're on a planet, it could go nuts after leaving the planet. This should no longer happen.
The auto-pilot is a bit smarter now. It should no longer get lost when the destination is on the other side of the planet.

[2016/10/19] Update v0.620 Quickfix

Hello captains,

Here's a quickfix for the v0.620 update. A couple of things that should make lives easier. I won't drag on for too long, so here's the change-list:

Artefact vaults no longer magically respawn on game load.
Artefact vaults were missing their .mg files. This should not cause any problem, but better safe than sorry.
The Ram skill sound cannot get stuck in a perpetual loop any longer.
The Arena had an annoying issue where you would lose Hull when winning a battle. This won't happen any longer.
Some players reported problems starting Freelance jobs after loading. The quickfix should help with this. If the problem persist, let us know and we'll do our best to help.

As always, let us know of any problems you encounter. We'll do our best to get on these issues as soon as possible.

Safe travels, captains.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/10/18] Update v0.620 - A whiff of change comes along with the Gladiatrix

Greetings captains,

It's time for the next Warlords update (what a surprise!). This time we focused on adding new content, but also on some major changes which I'm sure you'll notice when you start playing the updated version. Let's go over the big things:

Core gameplay changes

We have felt that players, including a lot uf us in the team, weren't using skills nearly as much as they should've been used. Our legacy skill system promoted building up only 1 individual skill to make the most use from it as all skills drained power from the same power core and shared its cooldown, along with the cloaking system. Cloaking is now more of a passive action and doesn't drain power anymore, we are planning to improve upon this design, but for now it has unlimited duration.

The Legacy skill-set was designed with limitations of power in mind so we had to change it entirely or else we would have ended up with a bunch of overpowered sub-skills. We have changed the system with a few design measures in mind. We felt that they had to be based around active skill usage. Our new skill designs are based upon a certain gameplay style that they promote. The first class will be based around close combat, being a Vanguard on the front lines of the combat and dealing more damage while near your opponents with both active skills and passive bonuses. Other classes, with different gameplay styles, are planned further in development.

The other change we had to accommodate is to bring the combat closer. The reasons for this were several, ranging from abnormal combat distances with smaller ships to the entire lack of visual fidelity due to the huge range. We managed to do this by tweaking weapon ranges and managing ship speeds and acceleration. You can still use longer range weapons, upgrade your range with enhancements and prefer hit and run combat. As a result of those changes we have also increased the precision of ranges/distances in combat to allow more control in the game. Game combat should feel more natural now, allowing for easier manual fire while, of course, still allowing fire at will as it was before and you will have a pleasure of exploring ship models in more detail from the closer perspective directly in combat.

All of this is our first iteration of those changes and we are looking forward to your feedback to improve upon those changes or change the direction entirely if needed. After playing for awhile with the new system please go to the discussion board and share your feedback and opinions, if you wish of course.

The affected areas of change are:

skills
NPC AI behaviour
ship stats
ship acceleration and speed
Sublight speed
power core, cloak and various other subsystem tweaks
Light and Heavy weapons

New skill system

We've purged the old skill system from the game and introduced a brand new one. You will retain all your skill points from your existing saves, but you'll have to distribute your skill points anew. Progression is still similar as in you gain a skill point each time you level-up and you can then use these points to upgrade skills. Each character class has four unique skills (the fourth is unlocked on higher levels), but also a special passive class-specific bonus.

Enter the Gladiatrix

The first Gladiatrix arena is in! It's nicely located in Phaehana, between Phaeneros and Concordia. If you've played Starpoint Gemini 1, then you more or less know what the deal is. Simply talk to the arena Quartermaster to get in on the action.

Rounding up the Outerlands

Two new Outerlands ships are added to finalize their fleet. You can obtain these in several places, but to make things easier, we've greatly expanded on what ships are available for purchase both on Concordia and on Phaeneros. This is a temporary measure to make it possible for you fine ladies and gentlemen to give each ship a go. You still have to purchase them of course.

Hidden vaults

Scattered around Gemini are the so-called Artefact vaults. If you scan these, you'll get a nifty prize. Existing saves will work without a problem since the vaults are added in.

Talk to us on Steam!

OK. This might seem a little strange, but there's no harm in trying, right? On Thursday, 20th October, we'll be hovering over the Steam discussion board even more than usual, ready to answer any question you might have regarding the game. It's a little something we felt could work well to get even more creative discussions going. The event is scheduled to start at 16:00 UTC/GMT.

Potential problem with saves compatibility

The amount of new things, but more than anything changes, is quite drastic, so please keep in mind that you could encounter problems in the game and with your existing save files. If that happens, please let us know so we can act accordingly!

We're looking forward to your feedback so please don't hesitate and post your thoughts on the discussion board, be they positive or negative. We welcome constructive criticism!

You can find the entire change-list through this link

CHANGE LOG

FIXES

several fixes related to the ATI R9 200 graphics series to increase stability (latest drivers are necessary)
Perks are now actually received in the Prologue segment, but keep in mind that individual bonuses provided by the Perks are not!
the reputation panel now displays the appropriate Faction banner
fixed several potentially critical errors regarding the UI on stations
landing on a planet while cloaked no longer makes a mess of your ship when you leave the planet
using Go To on the station that you're docked on could mess up the entire UI. This no longer happens
spamming the Esc button while entering a hangar could break the UI. No more!
repair drones no longer break the Maintenance freelance job
level 0 NPCs will no longer spawn
the UI on the HQ could get all bugged up in some instances, like when pressing the Esc key at the wrong time
fixed an error in the Prologue that could cause the game to crash in some instances
force-docking on a station or planet through script could mess up the hangar. This is no longer the case
fixed several graphics related bugs (faulty cube maps, wrong constant buffer parameters...)
increased script engine stability
more things are recorded into the game log.txt, specifically related to script errors
fixed a potential problem in calculating frustum spheres during world loading
taught the AI to recognize planets properly and not slam into them
several problems fixed in the Prologue segment
several bug fixes related to Freelance jobs
improved eyesight of the technical director by obtaining prescription glasses. He should be able to spot bugs more easily.

ADDITIONS

the old skill system was thrown out the window, and a new one implemented
- completely new character classes. Still only one available at this time, sorry.
- Completely new skills and skill progression mechanic
- 3 skills are unlocked for upgrading from the start and another, fourth, top-tier skill is unlocked as you progression
- each character class also features a special passive bonus that improves with character levels
- power used by skills is also out and completely replaced by a simple and efficient cooldown
- don't worry, you can continue playing with your existing save files. The save goes through a soft reset. When you load it, you will get all your used and unused skill points as unused skill points. You can then distribute them as you see fit in the new skill system.
- character levelling (experience requirement, max attainable level...) is revamped
- obtaining Ranks (and Perk points) is now also distributed differently
added the first of several planned Gladiatrix arenas
- a series of 10 battles await (the Phaehana arena features fights against gunships, corvettes and frigates)
- talk to the arena Quartermaster to enter the competition
- pay for entry and start bashing to win the prizes
- each battles is progressively harder (higher tiers are unlocked once the lower tiers are won)
- arena battles are accompanied by the ever-present announcer
Artefact vaults can now be found in all corners of Gemini
- scan a vault to unlock its special prize
- several different events can occur when you scan a vault
two more (and a half) ships added to round up the Outerlands fleet
- Ragnarok and Loki can both be obtained on Concordia, at least for now
- an additional version of the Loki is also added as the initial ship in the Prologue and after it. This is only temporary!
added hints on the loading screen
- more hints and tips will be added over time and as more features are added or changed
- displayed hints take into consideration your character level as well as other factors so we don't drown you with "Press key to do action" tips when you're already controlling half of Gemini. We're pretty sure you already know those elementary things.
speed bar now shows 2 values
- targeted speed to show you what speed you're trying to achieve
- current speed
gas pockets can now be found in nebulas and valuable gas can be extracted from them
an alternative to the simple gas extraction method is using the Gas extractor equipment. It manages to extract more gas and prevents potential negative side-effects ;)
planets now also feature a hangar, much like stations. The doors are in a different place though ;)
added a new hangar, specific for "outlaw" stations. At the moment, until all planned hangars are modelled and implemented, this hangar is used by some other stations as well
the effect of weapons hitting the hull is redone
props (as object types) can now be scanned
structures (as object types) can now be scanned
the Phaehana region is now more filled with the added nebula and junkyard
the Orion class ship now features a new derelict model
Concordia and Phaeneros now have a lot more ships available in store. This is a temporary measure to give everyone access to all the currently available ships (you still have to purchase them, though)

TWEAKS

the heat effect now works as intended on all LOD meshes (level of detail)
collision meshes added to hangars. This prevents the camera from going "through" the hangar mesh.
removed an unnecessary parameter on the heavy weapon tooltip
added some tooltip hints on several UI panels
using the Upgrade skill button is no longer possible if the selected skill is already maxed out
the save system is upgraded to accomodate the incoming mod integration
database loading is upgraded to accomodate the incoming mod integration (dynamic merged databases)
weapon fire SFX normalized and volume slightly lowered

MODDING

fixed numerous bugs related to handling fleets in the script engine
several changes made to the script engine to get parameters from different objects

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/10/6]Micro-update for improved game log

Hello everyone. You might have noticed your Steam client has downloaded a tiny update for Warlords. To clear things up a bit, here are a couple of remarks about it:

There was a file missing for some reason. A file I was ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE I've added the last time, but it seems I didn't :(.
The game now records more info into the game log, the current graphics card drivers signature for example, which is of immense importance to us especially if you're running (or attempting to run) the game on ATI cards. It will help us narrow down some issues we're facing so we can fix them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/9/21]Quickfix v0.612 - Sorry laddies

Hello captains,

I'll start this one off by apologizing for some things we did in the last update. We found and exterminated a few problematic bugs that we accidentally created when fixing other issues. We apologize for the inconvenience and, as always, thank you for your patience. You can find the tiny change-log below.

Fixed numerous errors we encountered in ship files that could cause different problems and even crash the game.
Fixed a memory leak where some textures didn't get released from memory after multiple game loads
Fixed a problem with saving global variables that would stop ships from spawning properly. This could potentially corrupt save files, but it should all be ok now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/9/15]Quickfix with a different version number (0.611)

Hello captains,

Here's another tiny update. Once again, just a few things, but it should be helpful.

Fixed a couple of bugs related to saving ship paint jobs
Some icons on the Ships panels set were of the wrong size. No longer.
Fixed an error that could cause Tasks to spawn in the wrong location
Tweaked multiple encounter-related scripts to prevent potential errors
During the Fleet management tutorial, in some cases you could not close the Starchart panel and you would be stuck. This is now fixed.
In some instances, you could get multiple errors and get stuck if you paused the game during one-liner dialogues.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/9/14]Quickfix for v0.610

It's hard to let go of behavioral patterns. Hence a quickfix. We had to do it... simply had to.

It's nothing much, but we wanted to release these several small fixes before we push onward to the next full update.

Enabled Steam cloud saves
Heavy weapons no longer pass through shields by magic
Fixed some minor scripting errors and done a few tweaks
Fixed several errors with Outerlands ships (wrong ship class, turrets not firing...)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/9/13]Update 0.610 - "Paint me like one of your French girls" and similar disturbing references

Time for a new content-heavy update! As usual, we have a standard assortment of bug-fixes and tweaks, but wait! There's more! If you get the update now, you'll also unlock new ships, new station models, new GUI functionality, hangars and much much more! Well, you'll actually get all this in any case, whenever you get the update...

To make things easier, here's a very short list of the new stuff:

Hangar interiors - see your ship in a different light. Literally...
Paint your ship - get expressive and go nuts with colors... if that's your thing... You can always just leave it as-is and smack a sticker on the "hood".
New ships - We can never have enough of those. Curtesy of the Outerlands this time.
New station models - to round up the Outerlands, but there are also some additional new models.
Hailing ships - In space, no-one can hear you scream... unless you hail them first.
Steam trading cards - Some care, some don't, but the cards are here to stay. We hope you have fun collecting them!

I've got another important thing to mention, ladies and gents so let's talk about the updated EULA and Google Analytics. We've implemented this bit into the game. The Analytics monitors what you're doing in the game COMPLETELY ANONYMOUSLY and sends that data over. You can easily turn this feature off through the GameLauncher->Settings panel, but it's important that we emphasize that the feature is ON by default.

There's more new stuff, but I'll leave that in the full change-log which you can find here.

We've got some major changes planned for the next couple of updates, but we'll share that info in a little while. Stay tuned!

CHANGE-LOG

FIXES

"Target next enemy" and "Target previous enemy" shortcuts now work as intended.
Some light weapon visual effects were doubled. This is no longer the case.
Fixed an issue with Commodity thumbnail not being displayed properly.
Fixed an issue with Commodity descriptions not being displayed properly.
Failing a mission while you didn't have controls meant the game got stuck in perpetual darkness. This doesn't happen anymore.
"Your garage is empty" tooltip is no longer displayed all over the place.
Several sequencing issues in the tutorial portion of the game could get you stuck in a loop. This is now fixed.
Using the "Esc" button to close the Configure turret panel no longer bugs up the interface.
The VFX of a beam weapon could "lag" behind the target.
Activating "Sublight" is no longer possible while your engines are disabled.
Grappling a ship now automatically shuts down cloak.
Platforms no longer fire "through enemy ships". They can actually hit them as intended.
Fixed a problem with the SETH platforme that doubled its model and particles.
You could bug up the show/hide animation of the Fleet info panel on the Starchart. Not anymore.
Fixed an issue with overlapping text on the "Transfer command" panel.
Fixed a problem where, in some cases, tooltips would remain "hanging" on screen on the "Construction" panel.
In some instances, the waypoint showing you where you need to jump to during the Prologue would not show. Now it does... every time.
Starting a new game, after you've already played a session, now resets resources.
Pressing the "Esc" button could in some cases (while another panel was in its opening/closing transition) completely bug up the UI and the entire game. This is no longer possible.
"Rank prerequisite" parameter on the Compare panel in the Shipyard now works as intended.
Clicking on an object on the left side of the Starchart (where the info panel is displayed) no longer creates UI mayhem.
Pressing "Ctrl+C" while an editbox is selected no longer crashes the game.
Pressing "Ctrl+V" while an editbox is selected, but with nothing in the clipboard, no longer crashes the game.
Fixed several errors with hint highlights.
Adding anenhancement onto a ship system that already has that same enhancement mounted no longer takes Credits from you.
In some cases, a constructed structure could revert to its non-constructed state. This no longer happens.
Button rollover SFX on the Construction panel no longer goes on and on in a loop
Loading a game while near a structure under construction resumes the "under-construction" visual effect. Until now, it was simply rendered in its finished state.
Selling a ship from your Garage no longer bugs up the interface. Some portions went M.I.A.
NPCs will no longer continue firing into nothing when there are no more enemies in the vicinity.
In some cases, when issuing the "Build" command on a construction site, the info panel would remain open, making it possible to perpetually issue the same command. Nothing spectacular would happen besides losing resources.

FREELANCE JOBS FIXES & CHANGES

PROSPECTOR
- In some instances you could get the mission with no real requirements or objectives, making it possible to do nothing and still carry out the mission.
DELIVERY
- In some cases, the "destination" ship, where you have to deliver the goods to, did not properly spawn.
INSTALLATION DEFENSE
- Fixed a problem where, in some cases, "fixed" defense platforms wouldn't respond to hostiles.
SEARCH & DESTROY
- NPCs will no longer decide to self-destruct for no apparent reason.
TRADE
- If you don't have enough cargo hold space, you can no longer take this freelance job.

CONQUEST FIXES & CHANGES

Fixed a problem where your fleet would decide to leave the combat for no apparent reason, even if they themselves were under attack.

ADDITIONS

Outerlands ships are added and available for purchase (two more will be coming in the next update)
- Skelning station: Odin, Valkyrie, Asgard, Midgard
- Hendall station: Tyr, Valkyrie, Fenrir, Heimdall
- Battledawn station: Odin, Valnir, Asgard, Midgard, Heimdall
- Tortuga bay station: Odin, Tyr
- Lunaee station: Valnir, Fenrir
Added "Known prices" panel accessible through the "Trader" panel
- This opens up the Starchart with the new panel on the left side.
- Clicking on a location in the list centers the Starchart on the location so you can easily set a waypoint to it.
- Use the "W" key (displayed on the bottom bar) to filter between all locations and locations where the commodity is being produced/sold.
Added hangars
- The start cutscene can be skipped either with the "Esc" or "Space" button.
- More different hangars will be added over time.
- Planets will also receive their version of the hangar.
Added the Customize panel
- You can now do a paint job on your ship.
- It WILL BE possible to save your finished paintjob as a separate file which you can then store for later or share as a mod or something.
Added random dialogues
- Hail passing ships to start a conversation. You can get some nifty info that way, but also some additional actions like "Trade".
- Available options depend on a number of parameters (Perks for example).
- The texts used in the dialogues, dialogue options and "events" that can take place will be further worked on, but suggestions are always welcome.
Added Google Analytics "link" into the game.
- Analytics ANONYMOUSLY collects data from the game session and sends it over.
- NO PERSONAL DATA is collected!
- Analytics "works its magic" only when you're connected to the internet.
- You can easily shut Google Analytics down in the Game Launcher -> Settings window
- EULA is updated to reflect this addition.
Added 5 "Outlaw" station models. Even more stations models are added, but I'll admit that I'm not sure of the exact number.
Weapon info tooltip on drydock and ship panel now includes "Damage per second" (DPS) for easier comparison
Completely reworked of faction logos
Grappling now has a sound effect.
Required character level added to the Rank requirement on the Garage panel.
Using the "Go to" command through the context menu on a station or planet now means the auto-pilot will go for docking/landing too instead of stopping right next to the object.
Trying to activate sublight via hotkey, while it's disabled for some reason, will provide appropriate feedback.
Starchart info panels now incorporate auto-scroll when displaying more information. The panel can also be scrolled by dragging it with the LMB.
Distance warning is now displayed for the Hail context menu command.

TWEAKS

Selecting objects in space and firing has received polish and optimization.
Resources display on the Construction panel no longer "overflow" into the next line.
Using the "Go to" command on the Starchart and through the context menu now do the exact same thing. There was a problem with how far your autopilot would take you, depending on what approach you used.
Freelance job target names are no longer shuffled every time you open the Jobs board.
Freelance job markers are now of "higher importance" than static objects on the Starchart. Now you can set a waypoint on such a marker even if it is very close to a planet for example.
Any active and visible timers are now hidden while you're docked.
Planets are marked on the Starchart on greater distances. This will likely be further changed.
Warnings and objectives have been moved slightly to prevent overlapping with hints.
News are not generated during the Prologue anymore.
"Cost" is no longer displayed in the HQ module parameters when it reaches its maximum upgrade level.
"Scavenger swarms" added via script now uses an appropriate quick item slot (it is either added to an already existing pool or is equipped to an empty slot).
You can now get info on the "advanced" Perks in the Perks panel.
Shuffled all of the station models used in the game world. You'll likely notice the "Delta" station model is used more frequently as it is used as placeholder for the missing station models.
HQ Mining module -> Asteroid field survey parameter removed because it is redundant.
The "Rearm" button is no longer clickable if your heavy weapon ammo is on max.
Some characters are no longer available when naming your save file as they could prevent the save file from appearing in the saved games list.
Selection highlight on the Loot panel tweaked for better visibility.
Using the "Follow" command on hostile ships is no longer possible. This is a temporary measure until proper AI is implemented, in which case the AI will respond to you "being on his tail".
Light weapon turret models changed with new ones. This is a work-in-progress, though, and further changes are pending

MODDING

"SetFleetPower" function now properly "reconstructs" an NPC fleet.
The initial "root" node of a dialogue now triggers its condition script as intended.
"Scripterion" documentation updated with new info.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/8/17] "Contraband check" issue fix

Just a quick hint ladies and gents, we've released a tiny fix for the Contraband check problems you could have been experiencing. This is now rectified. Apologies it took this long!

In other news, we're continuing our push towards the September update!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/7/26]UPDATE v0.601.4 - Another quickfix

Hello captains,

Although it might seem strange that we're releasing another quickfix, we felt it was necessary. The change-log is really minute, but the fixes are useful. As always, the change-log is below.

Another important bit. We are having some problems with the game not running on some ATI graphics cards properly (or not running at all!). We're working on the fix, but for the time being, we can suggest that those who are experiencing these problems could try running the game in "Borderless window" mode. This can be set through the Launcher->Settings screen. I'll say right away that this DID NOT help in all cases, but it did in some, so it's worth giving a shot until we can pinpoint the issue, resolve it and release an update.

Safe travels, captains!

CHANGE-LOG

If the game was saved while a ship was dying (not dead yet, but not alive either... undead?), this ship was saved as well and it could bug the game up. This is no longer the case.
In some cases, certain tooltips (on mouse hover) would appear below the panel they are actually on preventing you from seeing them properly. This is now rectified.
"Repair progress going backwards" problem on Maintenance freelance jobs is now fixed. This was linked to the repair drones that were a part of the VFX.
Fixed several smaller issues that could cause game stability problems (if combined).
Game launcher updated to prevent the problems some players were experiencing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/7/25]UPDATE v0.601.3 - Quickfix

Greetings captains,

Got a few changes for you today, ladies and gents. Nothing spectacular, but it should help in your travels. You know we simply have to release a post-update quickfix ;). The changelist is below.

Safe travels, captains!

CHANGE-LOG

When pressing the Esc key on Buy and Sell screens, multiple panels appeared. Not any more.
On some ships, the thruster texture was missing. This is now fixed.
You now actually have to have enough Credits to Purchase a ship "to garage". This for some reason, was not the case.
In some cases, the wrong hotkey was displayed on tooltips and hints.
The game now records more data into the game log to help with debugging.
Fixed a slight script error related to encounter quests that could potentially cause problems.
Contraband check encounter is blocked until further tests and revisions are made. Too many things could go wrong.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/7/22]Update v0.601 - Pre-summer bug-slap fest

Greetings captains,

I know we've said we'd release monthly updates, but we've been going over the latest feedback and figured that since we've got some of the noted issues patched up, we might as well share it with you ladies and gentlemen. And we've got some other changes and smaller additions to deliver as well. The change-log is below.

It's also vacation time so enjoy your free time, rest for awhile and please do try out our newest additions to the game. We hope you like what we're doing.

You can expect another substantial update landing on Steam in September.

As always, a BIG THANK YOU from the whole team for all the support, patience and help you've given us!

Safe travels, captains!

CHANGE-LOG
FIXES

Resources are now displayed properly in all UI instances.
Deactivating "Post-process" option in the settings no longer deactivates holographic objects, ice asteroids and the cloak effect
All traces of the legacy Reputation system are now eradicated. These caused some strange things like the same station being neutral in the game world, while hostile on the Starchart.
When appearing, props (object type) would be glowing hot, like derelicts. This was not supposed to happen.
Fixed a problem with empty equipment slots displaying 0% recharge state when loading a game.
Some buildings decided to display both their "full" visuals and the holographic ones too at the same time. That's a big no-no.
Fixed an issue where some MKIII projectile weapons were tiny compared to their MKI "brothers/sisters"
Fixed several instances where pressing the Esc button during a panel opening could break the game. In general, the "Esc" behavior is streamlined
Opening the Starchart via its shortcut while some other panels are open, could bug-up the game. That should no longer be the case.
In some cases, the game could crash if the player's commodity list was empty and you accessed the Trader panel. No more!
You can no longer have both the Planetary landing panel and the Planet UI open at the same time. And yeah, it could in some instances crash the game.
Fixed a couple of issues that could potentially cause the game to crash.
Fixed several issues related to reading and displaying save game data in the Load game panel
All player fleets are now properly named everywhere.

FREELANCE JOBS FIXES & CHANGES

Installation defense
- In some instances, the defense platforms didn't appear. Now they do.

ADDITIONS

Jettison now has an accompanying SFX
Starpoint (hence the name of the game, duh...) is now added into the game world. It's sitting nicely in between the twins
All HQ module bonuses are now functional with the exception of the Logistics center (the task duration reduction)
Legacy saves are functional, but accessing the new tutorial missions requires a completely new game. Sorry about that. We didn't realize this will be required. Otherwise we would have announced it ahead of time.
Added the Help panel for Shipbuilding and Fleet transfer panels. Just press the little question mark to access it.
Added hints on a number of buttons across the GUI
The number of ships in the garage is now limited and depends on the upgrade level of the hangar HQ module.

TWEAKS

Shipbuilding button is relocated from the game menu to the Starchart, when selecting the HQ.
The Starchart should no longer get overcrowded with available tasks.
Scrolling the Reputation panel is now done "by line" instead of "by pixel". Should make things a bit faster and more clear.
NPC are now intelligent enough to actually go around planets instead of slamming into them like dimwits.
The cloak VFX is slightly altered to make its behavior somewhat more "logical" (how it's drawn, what is seen through it and at what stages...)
Equipment prices are no longer colorized for no apparent reason when looking at the equipment in your own cargo hold.
Panel selections are now more clearly visible. Equipment panel for example.
Game manual updated with new info

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/7/15]Update v0.600 - We give You our "Bag of holding"

Greetings captains,

We've got a whole list of stuff we've managed to finish up and deliver to You. Encounter quests, random news, assembling war fleets, sending civilian fleets on tasks... just to name a few.

We hope you like what we've done.

But let's also recap the features we noted in the last update announcement and planned for this one:

A completely overhauled encounter system - Nope. Not ready yet I'm afraid, so we're sticking to the old system version until the new one is all done.
Procedurally generated dialogue system - Nope. We've hit a snag with this one too. We'll do our very best to activate it all as soon as possible.
Overhauled conquest system - Yes. A lot has been done in this department, so please check out the details in the complete changelist.
Additional structures, ships and stations - Structures nope, but stations and ships definitely yes.

I apologize for not delivering all the planned features, but some things simply require more time to finish up. The conquest part (shipbuilding and fleet assembly) is implemented however, so please take that as a plus :).

Safe travels, captains!

CHANGE-LOG

FIXES

NPCs will now properly react to you making a run for it during a contraband check
Ship manufacturer is now displayed properly
Research centers no longer provide resources, as intended. In the future, they'll provide special bonuses.
Neptune thruster models reworked a bit
There was a problem with the cloak effect in some cases. Now it is displayed properly.
In some cases, VFX of skill activations would not show. Now they do.
Weapon type name is now properly displayed on the Ship->Systems panel
The Newsreel on stations and planets is no longer bugged-up in the first few seconds after landing/docking
Encountering a battle will no longer trigger the weirdest of texts, completely unrelated to any combat situation
Repair beam is now visible once again
Fixed a problem with wrong data being displayed on the commodity tooltip
The Game launcher keybinding screen would pop-up a small info window. And when I say small I mean like really tiny. So tiny in fact that you couldn't actually see what it was saying. That's fixed now.
The Asteria class has joined the other ships in the ability to be destroyed
Ships will now attack Garrisons as intended
Fixed a problem where an event linked to a sector would get triggered several times, when it should only trigger once.
Using SETH will no longer cause the game to crash. This could still happen in some cases.
In some instances, the bridge officer would do "call-outs" even if the action in question wasn't really started.
You will no longer gain additional skill and perk points for no apparent reason
Using the Cargo Jettison action now does what it should and gets you back to the appropriate screen
Commanding one of your fleets to go to the same location they are now at, now does nothing... as it is supposed to.
Repair drones will now shut down their beams when they're done. They would look silly otherwise.
Deleting a saved game no longer causes an abrupt panel refresh
Clicking on the info panel on the starchart, no longer means you've clicked on the Starchart itself (and potentially selected something)
Crashing into a junk piece in a junkyard made the piece go *poof* and disappear instead of blowing up as intended. This is now working as intended.
Becoming an enemy with the Solari Concord would literally mean "You're your own worst enemy" and it would practically corrupt your save game. That can no longer happen.
Derelict created through the destruction of a ship now retains the ship's movement and rotation

FREELANCE JOBS FIXES & CHANGES

Salvage
- A confusion caused by the objective stating to transport onto the target, while the "on-target objective" says to disable it
- Sometimes you wouldn't get notified that you completed the job.
- Added the option to "go back" if you've accidentally pressed the wrong button
- Made some clarifications in the dialogues, to make things a bit more logical
Maintenance
- You no longer get the message telling you how much the "Repair cost" if the repair failed

- Fixed some confusing bits related to giving bribe and taking it back.
- Solved an issue where you couldn't transport to a research facility to complete the job

"Buy max" button is now added to the Drydock->Configure turret panel

TWEAKS

Updated station production templates
- ships are now widely available, but with different prices (the lowest price can be found where the ship is produced)
- added more equipment as available for purchase on different stations
- default equipment quantity is added into the mix
Improved freelance mission rewards
Rebalanced enemy fleet power
Rebalanced heavy weapons a bit. Reload time improved, but price is also increased.

Structures can now blow up and not just get disabled.
Adjusted particle effects on several "trade" station models
"Ghost" weapon batteries (those the ship doesn't actually have) are no longer displayed on the Drydock.
Residual blast damage created after a ship blows up is drastically reduced. The largest ships would cause too much damage.
Changed some keybinding button names to make them more clear
Did a slight upgrade to LOD dithering fade
Did an updgrade of soft particles used in nebulas
Button placement on the Save confirmation panel is changed a bit.
The required experience level to purchase a ship is now also shown on the Shipyard screen.
Saved game info now includes Ore, Gas and Materials status
"Sublight disruptor" detonation VFX upgraded a bit.

MODDING

Switched the "DerelictId" parameter (ID as integer) in the ship file with "Derelict" (Keyname as string). The same EditorDerelicts.wdt base is still referenced.
Updated the Scripterion documentation

[2016/6/20]Update v0.505 - Adding something extra, piece by piece

You'll notice in the change-log the addition section is now a bit larger. We've still done a lot of fixes though. No worries on that front. The whole change-log is listed below, so I'll just point out a few things we've also been working on and which you can expect in the next update (planned for July 15th):

PLANNED FOR NEXT UPDATE

A completely overhauled encounter system
Procedurally generated dialogue system - hail anyone and have a little conversation, with added gameplay functionality of course
Overhauled conquest system - The changes will be quite extensive, so we're not 100% sure this will be ALL done for the next update
Additional structures, ships and stations

CHANGE-LOG
FIXES

There was an in-code problem with mission tasks, those little bits that appear "on objects" telling you what next to do.
Some freelance jobs were missing their descriptions. This is no longer the case.
The autopilot will no longer freak out and get you killed when you use "Go to" on a nearby object immediately after loading a save.
When a quest-related target, that is also marked accordingly, is behind you, you will no longer see parts of the quest marker on your viewport.
SETH platform now has an appropriate-size explosion
Fixed a problem with displaying structure names on the Starchart in some instances
Fixed a problem with setting a waypoint onto the HQ, where the waypoint would "hover in empty space", above the station
Fixed a "Ghost" faction-related issue that could cause the game to malfunction or even crash
Props (those small bits that aren't derelicts or ships or any other "important" object) now explode as intended. In some cases this simply wouldn't happen.
Planets now have their own appropriate Starchart markers as intended.
Fixed a problem with the dialog system where an action script wouldn't fire off if there was only one single dialogue node available as "choice".
When you use beam weapons on your own SETH platform, your ship will no longer decide to spontaneously self-combust out of spite
Using "Go to" context menu action is now possible on defense platforms
Fixed several smaller errors related to destroying structures that, when combined, could cause the game to malfunction or crash
Fixed a problem where Power redistribution would "twitch like crazy" if related hotkeys were not set.
Convinced several structures to "return" to their proper sectors. For some reason, they appeared in the wrong places.
Fixed strange loading error where the skybox would disappear or to be more precise, it would turn completely black.
Fixed an error with the Cloak effect that could potentially appear. Only a visual error, though, nothing drastic.
The grappler effect is now always visible in the initial Prologue cutscene, as inteded. In some cases, it wouldn't show.
The "Game over" panel would sometimes display the wrong text. This is no longer the case.
Fixed a problem with commodity name being displayed wrong (overlapping other text) on the Buy/Sell panel
Saving when you have a deployed SETH will no longer create a new building in its place when loading that save
Commodity description on the Trader panel now displays the correct text
Commodity type in its tooltip on the Trader panel now displays correct "commodity type"
Security ships will no longer decide to check your ship for contraband in the middle of a fight.
If your auto-pilot destination is a structure or a garrison, the auto-pilot should no longer smash into it, but rather steer around it, or stop in front of it
When purchasing a new ship, the weapon batteries will now come with at least one turret by default
Fixed a problem where plasma cannons and railguns didn't do any damage to SETH platforms
When control is taken away from the player, turn, pitch and roll are also "cleaned up" to prevent going in circles
The "AUTOPILOT" label is realigned
Fixed an error that would in some instances display the wrong text on the Records->Bonuses screen
SETH platforms deployed by the player will now attack hostiles as intended
Fixed a problem with displaying enhancement bonuses on their tooltips. This could happen in some instances
Notification showing a new fleet is ready, now displays proper region name
Fixed a problem with some structures being marked on the Starchart, while in fact the structure isn't actually "there"
Fixed numerous text errors and typos
Hailing a SETH platform will no longer crash the game
Defense platforms no longer fire on the player when he/she is cloaked
Fixed a bug that would prevent spending skill points
Skyboxes/ambients are now set properly when loading a saved game
Fleet->Cargo now displays proper Commodity descriptions
You can now mount weapons on the Dynastes as intended
The "Configure turrets" panel now displays appropriate info

FREELANCE JOBS FIXES & CHANGES

Delivery
- Fixed an error where you decide to pay up, the ship starts leaving, but doesn't respond when you attack it.
- Fixed a problem where you could flee from a hostile ship, then return, and the ship wouldn't attack you when in range... or do anything basically.
- Destination ship will no longer turn hostile for no apparent reason when you complete the job.
- When you forfeit a job and then destroy a job-related hostile ship, you will no longer be able to continue the mission. It will "stay" deactivated as intended.
- When forfeiting the job, job-related structures will no longer feature job-related markers.
Installation assault
- Fixed a problem where you couldn't really and completely destroy defense platforms. Now they die as they're supposed to.
- Fixed a balancing issue with structures being too weak on high-level jobs
Installation defense
- The structure you're supposed to defend will no longer simply disappear when you complete the mission
Salvage
- Destroying a job-related derelict instead of using proper equipment will fail the mission
Search & destroy
- Fixed a problem where in some instances the "Go to waypoint" objective didn't get replaced with the proper objective once you reached the waypoint.
- If the NPC decides NOT to surrender, you'll get some form of notification of his hostile intentions instead of him just turning red and going mad.
- Fixed a problem where in some instances the flow of the quest wasn't logged in the Personal log correctly
- If you tell the NPC you'll "let him slip this time", you actually do "let him slip this time", so don't expect him to go all gun-ho on you
- Fixed several instances where random encounters could get triggered during a mission stage, causing the whole mission to "freak out"
- Mission areas now work as intended. Don't go all "Lemme just go to that planet on the other side of the system and I'll get back to you."

CONQUEST FIXES & CHANGES

Garrisons will no longer switch back ownership to the original faction. Once you conquer it, it will stay yours, at least until someone conquers it back or something.
Sending a fleet to attack a hostile garrison will no longer trigger your HQ to go nuts and turn hostile for no reason what-so-ever.
Fixed a problem where a Garrison could become "nameless" on the Starchart
Fixed a problem where a Garrison could no longer be selected on the Starchart
Fixed a bug where you could not set a waypoint on a Garrison on the Starchart
Fixed a problem where placing a waypoint on a Garrison that switched alignment would actually set the waypoint to some object on the other side of the world

ADDITIONS

"Go to" waypoint now snaps to "Mission" waypoint so you no longer experience that weird vertical offset
Off-world prisons are now added to Gemini. Don't expect too much interaction with them FOR NOW. They're added more like scenery for the time being. Further interaction will be added in future updates.
Auto-repair facilities have been added to Gemini. They are also capable of repairing your Hull in space as intended, but usability and visuals will be changed in future updates.
You can now invert mouse buttons in the Options menu, as was requested by community members.
Added Dithering effect on objects. Dithering "strength" depends on distance to object.
Added two new station models
- Kepler in Aethera
- Holocom HQ in Union claim
New "Level up" SFX
New explosions SFX
New Game launcher (visually very similar, but with additional functionality)
- Added splash screen between launcher and main game
- Game launcher creates its own log so if you encounter any problem, you can check out that file or send it our way
- Added keybinding section to the Settings screen
- Added Glow quality option
Added 5 new ships: Nyxian Consortium fleet
- Europa and Neptune can be purchased on Atlantean station
- Nibiru, Jupiter and Eridan can be purchased on planet Nyx
Hellion ship model upgraded
Omicron ship model upgraded
Added the new Perk system. Most Perks don't have the actual gameplay effect yet, but you can spend earned Perk points and give feedback on the general setup
Added two new Freelance job types
- Hunt - Hunt down a wanted criminal. His or her exact location is not known, though.
- Prospector - Get paid to collect ore samples.
Constructing structures and gathering resources
- You can now construct resource structures (for now only Reclaimers, Mining operations and Gas collectors)
- Construction costs resources, which you collect with resource buildings
Headquarters now provide income for all three resources (ore, gas, materials) to get you started
Constructing HQ modules now costs resources too, instead of just Credits
Ore, gas and materials as resources (the actual words) are displayed via icon in text
"Credits" (the actual word) is now displayed via icon in text (not in all places though; this will be "cleaned up" through future updates)
Ambients in the game world are completely shuffled. This is only a preparation in advance. As individual new skyboxes and corresponding ambients are finished, they'll simply be "plugged in".
Station production lists are now switched to so-called templates. This is important for modders and further balance iterations. This also means the first trading balance pass was done.
Added new Grappler visual effect
Added new Scan visual effect
More than 20 station models are updated with particle effects
A lot of new loot drop added for more diversity and easier modding and balancing
Added sound effects to a number of structures. This is only partially done, however. More SFX will be added through future updates.

TWEAKS

We're starting to purge the "old" reputation system, taken over from Starpoint Gemini 2. As an intermediary measure, you'll notice your reputation with factions are reset to their default states. Attacking a faction still produces the desired "hostile with faction" effect.
The currently targeted ship is now always marked in the viewport, even when "off-screen"
Increased "trigger" distance for structures, which means events can happen on greater distances
Tactical overlay will now automatically appear when you target a defense platform. It works in the same way as with hostile ships.
"Task" label on a quest-related object is now a bit more visible
Changed camera maximum zoom out so the tactical overlay can be seen properly on the largest ships
Tweaked the area of the screen where the Starchart starts panning
Implemented numerous safety-checks to prevent certain variable names used in scripts to crash the game
Any manual speed or direction change now shuts down Follow command
Stations, planets, structures and garrisons have received a position tweak (vertical offset if you will).
"Fire at will" mode now remains active when using Sublight so once you exit Sublight, FAW will continue to do its work
Did some changes to game logging. Some false errors were being logged.
Did a clean-up of enhancement databases. This is only a preparation for further changes.
Jobs board list of avaiable... well... jobs, scrolls back to the beginning when reopening the screen.
Planetary atmosphere (rim) effect improved. It "smoothes" out into space
Repositioned a couple of resource structures to be closer to their "resource" (Reclaimer -> junkyard, Mining operation -> asteroid field)
Numerous ships had their "drone points" redone. These points are used for various visual effects.
Updated "Quick Start Guide" to include info on structure construction
Updated Glow VFX for improved quality on higher settings, but also as optimization
Tweaked camera-related parameters for the Nova ship.
Increased damage of Orpheus mines
Optimized rendering of transparent or semi-transparent objects for faster framerate. Nothing major, but every little bit helps.
Optimized rendering pipeline for improved performance
Added Glow settings and optimized setups for improved performance

MODDING

Updated Scripterion documentation
Numerous changes to database cross-referencing, switching from IDs to Keynames
Loot drop files changed to reference keynames instead of IDs
Commodity names are now retrieved by keyname (in database) from the appropriate text file, and no longer directly from the database as value
Drone points (used for a variety of VFX) are now no longer a part of only ships, but of all object types. They are saved as separate ".mg" files
Continuing to switch the script language to use strings (keynames) instead of integers (IDs). GetProfession and SetProfession now reference profession keynames (database)
A lot of structure parameters are removed from sector files. The game now uses a system of overrides. The base values are set in the .str file, while the sector files only hold overrides.
A lot of platform parameters are removed from sector files. The game now uses a system of overrides. The base values are set in the .def file, while the sector files only hold overrides.

KNOWN BUGS

Repairing currently doesn't have a visual effect

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2016/5/13]Update v0.504 - A lucky Friday 13th, we hope

Greetings captains,

We've cranked our bug-smashing efforts up a notch since the last update. I can tell you right away that the focus was on all the various smaller or larger bugs You diligent and patient ladies and gentlemen have reported in. The change-log is listed below.

Of course, insect repelling isn't the only thing we've been doing and I'm happy to report two more additional ships are available for purchase on Concordia: your very own Caelifera freighter and Dynastes freightliner. Also, the DaVinci Research Station has now received its proper attire.

Our goal for the next large update is simple: shovel in a whole lot of new content with as few new bugs as possible. You can definitely expect it to be substantial :).

Safe travels, captains... and as before, please keep reporting problems, giving suggestions and sending in your game logs. And thank you for your immense patience! We appreciate it A LOT!

Hints currently active on-screen will not persist into starting a new game anymore
Tutorial hints no longer remain hanging when you open some other window. They will reveal themselves again when you go back to the main game viewport.

Fixed a couple of errors in the dialog system that would cause the dialogue to work in mysterious ways (never in a good way though)
Sending your fleet to attack a Will o the Wisp zone will no longer send them across the universe in the wrong direction. The Garrison was marked wrong.

Using the Quick action hotkey while on Starchart is no longer possible. No more crashing the game that way. Sorry guys.

When exiting, the game will no longer freakishly crash like it's emotionally attached to you

[2016/4/16] Update v0.501 - One log to rule them all...

Hello captains,

Today's update isn't what we hoped for and wanted. We'll be working over the weekend to clear the issues, but we're still releasing this small update, primarily for the game log part that now gathers more info to help in bug-huntin'.

You'll notice that we've actually disabled a few things for the time being so they don't cause more problems. There were a lot of reports for these same issues, so to prevent building up a massive backlog of the same reports, we've decided to disable them for now.

While the programmers and scripters are working on the issues, I can proudly say the rest of the team is not standing idly either and the first content update is in the works too :).

We apologize for the inconvenience, thank you for your patience and promise to have the next, more comprehensive, patch for you during the next week!

Safe travels, captains.

CHANGE LOG

Derelicts now display the appropriate name in most cases (there is one more known case where the name is still displayed wrong)
