February 27, 2014 - danijel

v0.6011, February 27, 2014

---------------------------------------
Update v0.6011 going live! We've got several new things for you today among which is the Skill & Perk respec panel on stations and planets so you can change your skill modifiers and chosen perks. The visual upgrade this time goes for anomalies. You can check them out in-game.

Another bit of news for today's update is the Hero contest!

You can submit your imagination's creations into the contest through our webpage http://www.starpointgemini.com .Just click on the Contest banner on the right ;). The top five characters with the most votes at the end of the contest will get their character recreated in-game, their esteemed name in the credits section AND a complimentary Starpoint Gemini 2 Steam key you can give to your friend or keep for yourself!

The next update is planned to finally bring character class choice and improved mission object markers to make them easier to distinguish from "standard" game objects and to quickly show what you should do with/to the object.

This game looks really good :) Thanks.

Minor bug report: when you dock at a station to which you have more than one delivery to make, only one gets finished and the other gets bugged, redocking, -logging, et al won't help :) I just canceled it, so no big deal, just wanted to let you know! Keep up the good work

This game seem to be the one for me. Ive been waiting to be saved from the "Rebirth Incident" and even have been playing old gems (I-War,STBC, even Universal Combat (I know..right) ) trying to get that fix. Is there a Bridge/Cockpit view to switch to for emersion on occation? Can you land and explore planets maybe even engage in combat while there? Im tired of having to play a MMO just do this. People shouldent have to "share" all of the time.lol. Sombody tell me what up.

At the moment, rogues and pirates really carry around a large amount of contrabands, hence leaving a player with a lotta illegal stuff in his/hers cargo hold. The amount of overall contraband circulation, as well as its pricing (which will go higher since it is supposed to be a risky business), the percentage of police scanning your vessel (taken it has detected your presence) and also the behavior of factions towards a smuggling vessel will be changed and updated accordingly. This is a first step towards the full implementation of the feature, and if it has annoyed some of you, I apologize.
That said, you can always write here your ideas and a bit more elaborate suggestions on tweaking the feature to better suit the game, since it is currently on our To-do for next updates :)

As Gemini2 is so new, I think most of ust have been lenient. However, the addition of contraband in the latest updat is game suidice, at this stage. Trade, is impossible to make money . . .there are no story lines yet, so killing pirates is the main source of income. The contraband addition is totally pointless, in a gaming sence. Why drop it and give it away? unless there was some advantage to have the whole sector alienated to you by declining. Totally ridiculous. It has almost put the final nail in the coffin for me.
