Release notes here. This is another followup to the epic one from a couple of days ago, mainly focused on some bugfixes and yet even more AI deadliness. First up, the Hunter fleet was previously only using the exciting new fire teams feature if you chose the new “Assassin” option. That’s not something most people…
Release notes here. This is a small followup to the truly epic one from a couple of days ago, mainly focused on some bugfixes and balance tweaks. More is in store for soon, but this is just a bit of tidying. Okay, maybe I lied? For the frigates, the benefits in this version might actually…
If you’ve been in the forums, you know that we’ve been in an opt-in beta period for the last… goodness, has it been three weeks? Release notes start here and then keep going here, here, here, here, and finally with today’s last bits here. That’s almost 15 thousand words of text, 29 pages in a…
Release notes here. This one is all about the balance and bugfixes, and in a few cases those go hand-in-hand. What’s new? There was a major bug in the game in the last month or so where not every “after a ship dies” bit of data was being logged. This came about when we started…
Release notes here. Variagation means different color patterns in the same plant, and I thought that was appropriate for what we’re doing with cloaking. What’s new? There were some problems with some people not being able to log their achievements to Steam, mostly those using non-US-English OSes or using linux. We think that’s all fixed…
Release notes here. All the achievements are now live on Steam, and we’ve also fixed up the build speed changes that were really bugging people in the prior build. What’s new? All 139 achievements are now live on Steam, so you can check out what those look like. The build speeds for higher-mark ships last…
Release notes here. This one is pretty huge! And it does finally have achievements — 139 of them — although not all of them will be visible on Steam for a few days. So what’s new? Achievements come with a few caveats, such as not having an in-game list to view them yet, and not…
Release notes here. Lots of good fixes and tweaks in this one! There are finally random AI types that you can select in the lobby (Random Easier, Random Moderate, Random Hard, Random Brutal, Random Any), which is a long-requested feature that the first game had. The lobby now also sorts the AI types by difficulty…
It’s nice to do a beta when needed, but it’s also nice to keep that period brief. We found a number of problems in 1.015 that we fixed and pushed in two non-version-incrementing releases that we just wrapped into the older release notes. Release notes for the new build are here. They’re very small by…
Sometimes when we introduce changes that are sufficiently large, we like to run it through a beta branch first. This is one of those releases, with the changes to the Outguard. We’d love it if lots of folks would give this a try, so that we can feel confident bringing this back off the beta…
