PULSAR: Lost Colony News

Hello everyone,

Version 1.2.02 is now available containing some bug fixes based on issues reported by the community. Thank you for sending in those reports!

• Fixed line spacing issues for certain dialogue interactions on the bridge dialogue/hailing display
  
• Slightly tweaked math of AI priority override (Reactor Stability >= X%) to better match displayed stability
  
• Engineering no longer shuts down when your ship is affected by reactor temperature increasing effects when running without a reactor

Hello everyone,

Launch Teaser: https://youtu.be/MRbIM8VirbI

Version 1.2 is now available! We’re excited to introduce a new campaign: Depths of Umbra-K54, and a new ship: The URV-500 Submersible.

This campaign takes place in the sea under the icy surface of the rogue planet Umbra-K54. Your crew is tasked with investigating an unusual warp-field anomaly.

Important note: It is not recommended to rely on the AI PiBot for the new campaign, as the challenges found within would require a lot of specific behaviors. Because of that, we recommend planning accordingly!

Additions

• New Campaign: Depths of Umbra-K54
  
• New Ship: The URV-500 Submersible
  
• 3 New Enemy types
  
• 4 New Boss Enemies
  
• New systems and screens including hull breaches and ship flooding for the URV-500
  
• New URV components
  
• 28 readable logs
  
• 2 new achievements
  

Changes

• Increased the size of the top-right UI showing your ship’s hull and shields for improved clarity
  
• The dialogue window has been increased in height to allow for more dialogue options to be displayed and more text to be shown
  
• Certain UI elements now hide themselves when the Tab menu is open to prevent overlapping
  
• Turrets can now be exited without delay for non-host players
  

Fixes

• Fixed issue with dropped item Captain notification not showing the name of the item dropped
  
• Fixed issue that could cause audio issues in certain situations
  
• Fixed some issues with offline mode that caused menus to not properly update themselves while open
  
• Fixed visual issue when a fuel capsule is loaded but the ship is out of fuel
  
• Fixed issue with the repair gun that could cause it to stop working in certain situations
  
• Fixed issue that caused fog effects to affect in-game cinematics
  
• Fixed issue with loading AI priorities that could cause incorrect priorities to activate
  
• Changed some internal physics settings to improve performance in certain situations
  
• Academy: Removed option for external camera when using the Captain’s Chair in the Academy due to lack of a proper exterior environment
  
• VR: Fixed issue with certain UI elements not aligning with the camera properly in VR mode
  
• VR: Fixed issue with in-game opening cinematics not being visible in VR mode
