Round 3 of the ongoing experimental version for Update 1.12 starts today. We are now on the home stretch to the public release! (the date will be announced in the near future)
We would be grateful if you would devote your testing attention to the following new features, among others:
- The new mass-speed-penalty mechanic is fully implemented. This means that you can once again reach the technical maximum speed of your ship type, albeit more slowly, if necessary by reducing mass.
- When starting the game with Dark Faction DLC, you can now start the scenario directly in creative mode in the options
- In the PDA (F1) of the standard scenario, in the standalone tutorial and in the Rise of the Dark Faction scenario (DLC), there are new integrated feedback questionnaires that you can use directly from the game.
