Posted by on

Hey everyone! First post here.. I´d like to show the latest patch (1.0.8) changes to the game:

LOTs of new ships, including Syndicate exclusives with special abilities, and a bunch of independent and cool new models. I couldn't do everything I wanted but it was taking way too long, so I decided to launch it and just keep working on it. I´ll try to release smaller and more frequent patches from now on.
Basically what I couldn't do was the new white quests for PMC and Syndicate, which I´ll be working on.

  • Added new ships: Hauler (replaced Rhino), Luna (replaced Space Fly), Mercury, Galaxy (tutorial version), Theseus, Raven, Geraki (Sam Holo's unique ship), Dorothy and 8 new and exclusive Syndicate Ships (all sizes except Dreadnought for now).
  • Added special abilities for Syndicate ships: Warp distance bonus, base shield absorption and trade bonus.
  • Added intro scene when starting a new game.
  • Changed starting ship and tutorial quests (All quests from older version saves will be deleted to avoid issues). By the end of the tutorial you´ll receive a special ship according to the path you chose (independent, mining or trading).
  • Removed reputation gains with PMC from mining and added repeatable quests to turn in crystals in order to gain reputation.
  • Changed reputation gains with Syndicate from trading to only affect buying trade goods.
  • Increased Vulcan projectile speed from 60 to 80 and changed shooting sound.
  • NPC spaceships will now also travel to locations like stations (and stay there for a while) or ship graveyards.
  • Changed loot to more often prioritize drops around the same level as the enemy defeated.
  • Changed 'reset skills' point gain to 1 every 20 levels instead of 10.
  • Added GPU instancing for asteroids and other objects to improve performance.
  • Mercenaries now warp away when you end the escort.
  • Fixed Venghi bases sound not scaling with sfx volume.
  • Fixed being able to equip incompatible items when changing ship.
  • Adjusted loot to drop more varied items as high level rewards.
  • Added reputation changes on tutorial quests.
  • Fixed reputation gain with syndicate for buying anything instead of just trade goods.
