Changes as of November 17, 2015

Campaign

  • Increased salvage from combat by 50%
  • Reduced number of system bounty events
  • Ongoing battles will autoresolve faster if they're lopsided; i.e. several patrols vs a lone pirate frigate will not take a day to autoresolve

  • Emergency Burn:
    • Halved CR cost (and thus, supply cost)
    • Now prevents CR recovery while active
  • Player respawn: will now pick random friendly market to spawn near, favoring larger and friendlier markets
  • Boarding:
    • Requires and uses only marines
    • Removed steps with picking boarding task force and number of marines/crew to use

    • Non-missile weapon ranges past 450 units drastically reduced by SO


Changes as of November 03, 2015

Campaign

  • Turned off comm sniffer investigations (at least for now)
  • Smuggling investigation:
    • Will no longer find the player guilty if they were wrongly suspected
    • Lasts 2-3 months
    • A chief investigator is assigned and can be talked to to resolve any misunderstandings
    • Guilty finding drops reputation with faction to inhospitable
    • Can be covered up (reducing chances/avoiding investigation entirely) by also selling on open market
  • Added "Faction ties" investigation
    • Started by major factions when the player has a positive reputation with another major faction
    • A chief investigator is assigned and can be talked to to resolve any misunderstandings, but only a couple of times before that's no longer effective

    • Magnetic fields now reduce speed and sensor range by 50%
    • Nebulas, asteroid rings/fields, magnetic fields, and hyperspace storms now reduce speed by a percentage rather than a multiplier, allowing "Emergency Burn" to take full effect
    • Battles in deep hyperspace no longer have nebula patches on the battlefield
  • Navigation skill: now reduces burn level penalties from terrain by 5% per level

Combat

  • Cruisers will now be assigned to "capture" assignments as needed

Changes as of June 23, 2015

Campaign:

  • Added campaign sensors; can now only see other fleets when they're nearby
  • Added abilities that can be used by fleets, both player and AI: Transponder, Go Dark, Active Sensor Burst, Emergency Burn
  • Transponder, turning it off:
    • Reduces visibility, attracts attention of patrols
    • Allows trade with otherwise-hostile factions on the black market
    • Allows open trade with hostile factions for independents, pirates, and free ports
  • Combat officers:
    • Can be hired at markets using the comm directory to contact "mercenaries"
    • Can be assigned to command specific ships

    • High Maintenance hullmod: increases supplies/month only
    • Automated Repair Unit hullmod: removed penalties; increase in CR recovery does *not* reduce the overall recovery cost
    • Removed supply cost per day for crew and marines (assumed to be negligible compared to ship maintenance)

    • Improved missile aim
    • Changed damage back to single-shot with 750 damage
    • Added variance in Sabot launch range to make it a bit more unpredictable

  • Slightly improved Harpoon missile target tracking
  • Accelerated Ammo Feeder: reduces flux cost of ballistic weapons by 30%
  • Pilum: reduced hitpoints to 50 (from 125)

Ship AI:

  • Ship aim will improve as time is spent firing at the same target; time from worst aim quality to best is ~15 seconds
  • Autofire aim will improve as time is spent firing at the same target; time from worst aim quality to best is ~15 seconds.

As will AI manual targeting

  • Improved fighting vs drones somewhat (prioritizes them less)

Combat:

  • Campaign terrain effects:
  • Campaign combat maps now spawn with appropriate nebula graphics and amount for the location

Campaign:

  • Added 5 new star systems
  • Added "Hydroponics Complex" market condition
  • Added market conditions for a variety of new planet types

    • Player can choose one of two (randomly picked) skills to learn or improve at each level-up
      • Not limited by aptitude level when increasing skills
    • Only grant the combat portion of their skills
    • Current maximum level is 20, learning a skill learns it at level 1, improving gains 3 levels

Ship AI/orders:

  • Found and fixed an issue that could cause occasional suicidal behavior (would attempt to pursue an enemy perceived as trying to kite it, into a very bad situation)
  • Added "Avoid" order, can be set on enemy ships to make all your ships try to avoid getting near them
    • Ships can be explicitly assigned to the "avoid" target, in which case it'll work as an "engage" order
  • Improved order-following
    • Ships assigned to capture/control/assault/defend will do a better job of both avoiding enemy contact and moving towards the objective
  • Improved conservation of HE missiles (i.e. Harpoons) vs unshielded frigates. Test case of Wolf (CS) vs 2x Hound (D), 2x Cerberus (D), and 1x Lasher (D) -> Wolf saves enough missiles to effectively take out the Lasher

Bugfixing:

  • allowShipControlWhilePaused now set to true in settings.json, as was intended
  • Fixed rare crash bug caused by weapon group going away due to a critical malfunction but the AI still thinking it exists and wanting trying to fire it
  • System-activated engines no longer show up on ships in the campaign view
  • Fixed rare crash while adjusting music volume
  • Fixed bug where repair-at-market cost would be extremely high if ship crews were understrength
  • Fixed issue where leaving X cargo and then picking up exactly X cargo would lead to the listed cargo space used being incorrect
  • Thunder-class fighters no longer immediately go to refit after firing off their Harpoon missile
  • Captured enemy ships will no longer ship up in the "disabled" category in the enemy fleet in the fleet encounter dialog
  • Fixed bug where intel prices would occasionally not update correctly when docking at a market
  • Fixed issue where player-sold commodity stockpile value used for pricing would reset on a save/load for commodities not in native supply or demand
  • Fixed bug where market music would continue playing in the campaign after running a combat simulation in-market and then leaving
  • Fixed crash caused by adjusting music volume after music has erroneously stopped playing
  • (Probably) fixed issue with music stopping to play (seems to only be an issue with some mods?)
  • Fixed bug where fighter wings would not properly lose CR for taking losses in combat in some circumstances
  • Fixed bug where initiation a transaction at a military submarket and then cancelling would result in the items in the submarket being re-sorted incorrectly
  • Increased Hound shield radius so it works properly when a Front Shield Generator is installed
