Stardust Exile News

[p]v1.2.1[/p]

• [p]Allow to filter the ships distribution throughout the galaxy by the player own ships[/p]
• [p]Show estimated travel time at the ship current position for long distances too. Keep the time inside the camera view if possible[/p]
• [p]Show the repair rate of the Repair Vessel in the ship stats[/p]
• [p]Improve the contrast of the tutorial indicator with the background[/p]
• [p]Precursor items build progress no longer resets when the Research Vessel undocks or is destroyed[/p]
• [p]For short distances, ships travel times are no longer visible if it is not possible to calculate the time with precision. That happens when not all systems in the travel path are loaded on the client side, which does not allow to account for all the disruptors that might affect the time. For long distances an approximated time will still be visible with a ≥ prefix[/p]
• [p]To prevent accidental self-destruction of ships, the button is now only visible if the ships were explicitly selected with a selection box or by clicking on them directly[/p]
• [p]Fix ships receiving damage after entering warp, if they were directly set as a target by the opponent, and an allied ship remains inside the system[/p]
• [p]Fix ships being difficult to select when the camera is in the 2 far away zoom levels[/p]

[p]This update adds ruins from an ancient civilization spread out throughout the galaxy. They can be activated to produce artefacts, ship parts, and process batches. The artefacts and processed batches can be sold in the market, and the ship parts can be used to build a new type of ship. This is the first update more focused on PvE combat, and it is geared more towards advanced players than new players. You can toggle the locations of the ruins with the new ui at the top left corner of the galaxy map.[/p][p][/p][p]v1.2.0 Changelog:[/p]

• [p]Ancient civilization ruins[/p]
• [p]New ship type: Precursor Drone[/p]
• [p]New research techs and market items: Tradable Artifacts, Batch Processing and Precursor Drone[/p]
