Carrier Command 2 News

Dear Players,

Today we release the v1.2.5 hot fix for naval combat in response to player feedback.

Torpedo behaviour and swordfish speed had been changed unintentionally, causing a change in balance to naval combat. We have now rebalanced this area of the game so naval combat is more effective and balanced.

We have reduced the Swordfish speed to be similar to the Needlefish, and improved torpedo tracking so that they lock by bearing rather than heading - allowing them to predict an intercept point and track ahead of the target. This torpedo change is very similar to the change we recently made to AA missiles and greatly improves their ability to hit targets at constant speed and course.

Separately, we have also decreased fuel consumption of the Needlefish and Swordfish, so that their effective range is much greater. This means your fleet vessels have the option to operate more autonomously, and depend less on the carrier.

Much love
The Carrier Command Developers



v1.2.5

Fix - Improved torpedo target tracking
Rework - Reduced swordfish force emitter magnitude so they go slower
Rework - Decreased fuel consumption of ships so light ship can travel continuously at max throttle for roughly an hour before running out of fuel

Dear Players,

Today we release the v1.2.3 bug fix and improvement update including several important changes. Please see the patch notes below for the full list of changes in todays update.

Thanks to all other players submitting reproducible bug reports and feature requests on the official issue tracker. We are working our way through the reported issues that we are able to reproduce, and over the last few months we have made a huge number of changes, with only a small number of issues remaining active on the issue tracker.



We have more bug fix updates planned and are also working on the next major update! This next major update addresses a series of very popular player requests and we are excited to bring these changes to players. As always, we are more concerned with the doing rather than the talking, but we will announce more as we complete the update and are closer to a release!

Much love
The Carrier Command Developers

Dear Players,

Major Update 2 is now live!

In this new major update, we have added the new modding development kit, with all the tools you need to modify game textures, meshes, sound effects, screen scripts and more! With this, we have also added Steam Workshop support so it is very easy to share your creations or download modded content! The technical reference guide for modding is available on the new official wiki.

We have also added fleet ships, where both you and the enemy team may now manufacture patrol ships of various load outs, and build your naval presence. Carrier battles will now be fleet battles, and so introduces a major new dynamic to the naval gameplay.



With this update is also a host of new bug fixes and improvements. See the changelog below for full details!
