Changes as of 0.4.9
Ships & Shipyards
- Ships are now only able to repair when docked in a Shipyard. This still costs the same number of credits as before
- Launch sequence can now be cancelled by the player if they tried to launch while Employees were unable to leave the ship due to blocked entrance (or for any other reason you may want to cancel a launch)
- Slightly adjusted the costs of hulls
- Ship Repair now takes place when a ship is docked rather than in the air on the fly – you’ll have to dock your ship in a shipyard to repair any damage sustained in combat.
- You can now cancel ship launches to make last minute changes to your ship, or if you’ve blocked an entrance and you have idle Employees on your ship
- Added ships and ship devices to the player’s net worth at the game-over screen
- You can now cancel, pause and resume ship construction from inside the shipyard
- Added some new cursors for docking ships – both one showing that docking is possible and one showing it’s not
Rebels
- Changed how Rebel ships interact with player ships – they will now attack player ships even if the player has no weapons or employees aboard the ship
- Wait period between rebel attacks is now 20% longer
Loading Screen, SFX & Tutorial
- Raised the resolution of our loading screens
- Added a new loading screen image for this month’s Titan Tuesday
- Added tons of new SFX to multiple pieces of UI and in-game objects
- Added a ton of new tutorial content to the Advisor’s Panel. Give them a call!
Storage & Resources
- Small storage container now stores 12 resources instead of 10
- Changed the colours of minerals, isotopes and waste in the UI. We’ll be readjusting them again soon, but this is a step in moving towards a more unified colour scheme across the whole game!
Pollution, Xethane, and Weather
- Rain now falls less frequently, but reduces the impacts of pollution by double the previous rate
- The amount of xethane removed by an Air Purifier was reduced by 50%
