[Version 0.4.1.378]

Balance:

• Space station store now updating every 3 days. [list]
• Now the assortment at the market changes over time. This gives more variability in building your spaceship set up, as well as allows you to get enough supplies in protracted exploration within the same sector.

• Bigger is not better. Too large damage areas often led to the fact that the damage gets not on the enemyes ship systems, but only on the hull.

• It is now easier to move through the compartments on an enemy ship. Boarding battles have become more dynamic. Now doors subsystem upgrades have become useful not only for fire protection but also for holding back enemy units.

• Battles in locations with anomalies are always more interesting and difficult. We slightly increased the chance of generating such locations in the sector. They can play into the hands of the player or, complicate his life. Whether or not to fly to the Pulsar is up to you.

• New rules for generating side-quests: SOS quests, trade quests, courier quests, research quests, combat quests, and others

• Since the teleport mechanic has improved, the number of boarding battles has increased. To speed up the gameplay, you no longer need to wait until the teleport is ready to take units back. This now happens instantly if you win by destroying the enemy crew or if they surrender.

• The Stealth System itself grants 60% evasion. But in conjunction with the engines and the Pilot level, you can now get a 100% chance of dodging for short time.

• A ton of balance changes. Now the game can be completed with almost any set of weapons.

• Locations with space stations are now demilitarized zones in which any battles are prohibited. Feel safe.

• Gatekeeper battles are a challenge for any player. Venators can no longer fly to you immediately after defeating a Gatekeeper. But if you return to this gate later, Venators can fly through this location and find you.

Features:

• Killing an enemy captain = victory. [list]
• One of the main injustices has been resolved. Now the rule of death of the captain = defeat also works for enemies. This opens up new tactical opportunities for the player. An enemy captain can be killed with a weapon with high damage to units, you can hunt him while boarding, you can try to grab him aboard with a teleporter. All of this is especially useful if the enemy ship has a lot of HP.

• If the player has a cryo-chamber on board, enemy units can be placed in it. If there is not enough space in the cryo chamber, a window will open with the distribution of units that did not fit, similar to the distribution of items that did not fit in the hold.

• The ability to sell frozen units to the station. At regular stations - in the Police module for reducing wanted level. At the Pirate space stations - on the black market for credits.

• When activated, it temporarily increases the ship's evasion up by 60%. While the Stealth is working on the ship, you cannot aim. If you will shoot while Stealth activated it will be immediately turned off. You can teleport units with the Stealth system activated. Enemies also have a Stealth system and know how to use it. The Stealth system now can be found at the space station.

• Now you can restart the game session with the same ship and crew but in a newly generated universe. The "Restart" button has been added to the in-game menu.

• Shows the player's best score among all players or friends.

• Shows history of game sessions results.

• The list of achievements will continue to grow.

• It is gradually repairs damaged systems.

• With their help, you can find out what weapons and drones are installed and sell the installed ones. When buying new weapons and drones, they are immediately installed in free slots.

• It is the number of shells in one salvo.

• We are very fond of music in games and we dream that our OST will find fans one day.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug with the enemy's corpses remaining on the player's ship. [list]
• Now the player's ship does not turn into a graveyard of enemy units. All bodies are taken out at the moment of the change of day. Cleanliness is the key to health.

Localization:

• English texts have been improved. [list]
• We are continuing to improve the English texts with the help of one of our players. Aidan, thanks a lot.

Quests:

• Lot's of Chapter 1 Quest fixes.
• Lot's of Chapter 2 Quest fixes.

Visual:

• Galaxy Map redesigned. [list]
• Now it looks like a galaxy. You can Zoom In on the location using the mouse wheel. The galaxy map gameplay is not finished yet, but visual was an important part.

• The number of links between systems increased. It helps travel from one side to another faster and helps to avoid Venators patrol. Waypoint tips also improved, it helps with a quick look where to go.

• Now you will see when the enemy unit gets a status effect.

• It is easier to see that they exist and use them.

• We are in an endless search for a compromise between detailed interiors and a readable scene.

• Instead of starting off with an imaginary sidereal date, we ended up with a change of days. This makes it easier to track the time in the game. At the first time player can be "happy" that he survived for a couple of days longer.

Ok
