Void Crew News

[p]Greetings Ectypes![/p][p]With this patch we aim to make QoL improvements and fix some of the most annoying player-reported issues.[/p][p]Thanks for the community for helping us out with these! If you're having issues, don't hesitate to share them with us on our Discord![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]The inertia-zone[/h2][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]The inertia zone is an exterior bubble projected tightly around the player ship. When you enter it, you're automatically tethered to the movement of the ship - allowing you to jetpack around the inertia zone without fear of being left behind... as long as you don't accidentally touch a thruster and get launched off into space of course.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Airlock Usability[/h2][p][/p][p]It's simple really: We made the Airlock doors interactive like the rest of the doors on the ship - this reduced the amount of buttons needed to operate the Airlock from 4 to 2! (Or just 1 if you don't touch the safety, but what's life without a little danger?).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]General[/h3]

• [p]New player ship - STRIKER! - A new ship ideal for medium-size crews![/p]
• [p]New Module: The Forcefield Airlock - No more fiddling with the airlock buttons, just walk outside (It's so easy you'll immediately realize you forgot to put on the jetpack!)[/p]

Go try it out![/p][p]If you want to know more about how it was made, then don't hesitate to check our article out now![/p][p][/p][h3]New Ship Loadouts[/h3][p][/p][p]With the new ship comes a bunch of new ship loadouts! Naturally, Striker gets variants of all the old loadouts - but in the process we couldn't help ourselves, and ended up adding several new loadouts!

1.2 features the following: [/p]

• [p]Scout (regular)[/p]
• [p]Heavy (regular)[/p]
• [p]Scorpion (regular)[/p]
• [p]Summoner (challenge)[/p]

[p][/p][h2][/h2][h2]HOTFIX Out Now[/h2][p]Greetings Ectypes! Thank you for all the great feedback on the Cross play update, and not least your patience while we've been tracking down and fixing the annoying progression bug![/p][p][/p][h2]Hotfix Issue Addressed[/h2]

• [p]Bugfix: Fixed issue on console where progress was not saved due to authentication tokens timing out. This resulted in profile data (progression, levels, items, saves, etc) being reverted upon restarting the game. The authentication issue also resulted in text and voice chat going offline.[/p]

[p]If you've been affected by the issue and have not received compensation for the lost progress, follow the instructions on one of the following:

Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/joinvoidcrew/comments/1n99kfm/lost_progress_on_consoles_get_compensation/[/p][p]Discord: https://discord.com/channels/814811296390053888/1413560556580900864[/p][p]Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1063420/discussions/0/603040419439407807/[/p][p][/p][h2]What about the ship update intended for this week?[/h2][p]Considering the amount of people affected by the "lost progression" issue, we wanted to fix this first and foremost. This does mean that our planned content update has to go through a delayed round of console certification, since inserting the hotfix shifts the queue around. We intend to release the content update (with the Striker ship) as soon as possible, but there will be a minor delay while our new console partners certify the update.[/p][p][/p][p]Read more about \[New playership (Striker) Update] >>[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]If you are having issues, don't hesitate to share them with us on our Discord!
