This one is VERY near the end of our polishing the game to get it ready for 6.0. I still have some achievements to add, a bunch of text fixes to make, and a couple other not-really-game-logic things to change, but other than that, we’re there. Unless there’s something horribly broken in this version; so…
This one is near the end of our polishing the game to get it ready for 6.0. There’s one more chunk of changes I want to get in before calling it a release candidate. So this one’s basically bugfixes and some balance, including many smaller suggestions from our players that I hadn’t gotten to until…
This one continues the process of polishing the game up for the 6.0 official release. Bugfixes and balance, basically, but it’s pretty important stuff. Most significantly, the nebula scenarios have been adjusted in a few ways that should make them more enjoyable, and perhaps a bit easier. You can now get repair and module-construction-assistance from…
This one contains several relatively small changes. Some are important fixes, some are just polishing up for the official release. Perhaps most significantly, military command stations have been reworked into a substantially more powerful unit in their own right. Their actual contribution to a main-chokepoint defense isn’t much changed (which is to say, it’s still…
This one continues addressing issues that were a high priority (for the timeframe of the upcoming official version) for our community in this poll. This time: The #1 request was that free threat not camp on a wormhole forever if the planet on the other side was too strong for it to consider attacking. Fish…
This one addresses a number of issues that were a high priority (for the timeframe of the upcoming official version) for our community in this poll. Specifically: Engineer logic for picking what targets to assist first. Mostly this relates to repair order, but also somewhat to build-assistance. Let us know how it feels now, and…
This one deals with several longstanding requests that have been at the top of the mantis voting for a while: 1) Now the game will tell you what the local time is, and how much real time you’ve actually spent in that particular game, when you mouseover the in-game clock. Note: the “how much real…
This one contains the last new content that was part of the original promise in the Ancient Shadows expansion, namely the last “main” nebula scenario (which is where I got the release name, it’s pretty intense) and the largest champion hull size. There’s still other things I may add over the next few weeks (modular…
This one is probably the second-to-last update containing new Ancient Shadows content (though additional scenarios beyond the next may be added between now and release, time permitting). It adds two new scenarios for seeding in the nebulae. There’s also a significant rebalance of AI guardians and AI carriers (what happens when you blow up a…
This one continues our process of finishing up the last new content for the Ancient Shadows expansion, and adds another scenario that can seed in a nebula. There are a few old friend/foes/friendly-foes in there, hence the title of this release. Several balance changes, particularly to the bring the Dark Spire minor faction back into…
