Silent Sector News

Hello, captains!
Here's a new update with some important changes that will improve gameplay:

- Completely redesigned gamepad controls; the functionality of most of the menus has been modified.
- Fixed a bug where you could select a random task against Cubes without having a device to be able to destroy them.
- The minimap shows the center of the sector (small 'x') so that the player does not get lost.
- The projectiles are now accelerated by the ship, so at constant speed the ship won't fly over own projectiles.
- Modified engine - game keeps fps better on slower computers.
- Added an effect of opening a new event gate on the map.
- Fixed a bug where the sector generator did not use all graphical elements (planets, backgrounds etc.).
- A few minor bugs and issues fixed.

- Fixed error message when contacting a ship.
- Fixed and improved special weapons Buzzsaw, Vortex and Vortex 2.
- Fixed life value in the Info screen.
- A few minor improvements.

Hey Captains!
We have prepared another update for you. Besides important fixes and improvements, we added the Anti-Hook device, which is great for destroying enemies with a grappling hook. I hope you enjoy the news and thank you for your support!

Captain, adventurers and pirates!

We released an expansion for Silent Sector - Attack of the Mutant Cubes!

Half a century has passed since the starship Voyeur clashed with the mysterious, malevolent force calling itself only "The Cubes". Neither side was heard from again... until today. Now, The Cubes are back in full force to take their revenge on all of humanity. A lone ship stopped them before, but can you? A unique experience awaits you, filled with roaring engines and the singing of energy weapons.

This final content update brings a new faction and quest series to the wild world of Silent Sector, and is completely free for all owners of the game. The universe needs you now, more than ever!

NEW CHANGES:
- Completely new 'dynamic' faction - The Cubes.
- Mini storyline related to The Cubes.
- Turrets will shoot more accurately by predicting player movement.
- Enemies prefer to fight with a player rather than other AI.
- Inventory screen will now show experience needed for next level.
- Mining is now slower with a basic Mining Machine but...
- Added a stronger Mining Machine, that makes mining overall much faster ;)
- Adjusted random attack events - enemies will spawn further away from the player.
- Autosave is enabled in the Homebase sector now.
- 3 or less enemy ships in the sector will not attack in a formation.
- Fixed a bug with Stargate effect displayed on the map screen.
- Several other small bugs fixed.

We hope you enjoy the update and thank you for your support!
