Beta Update 0.8

[p]Hello everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]A last little update before releasing 0.8 to public tomorrow. [/p][p]Mostly to see if we missed anything and if the map works properly when switching between old and new. [/p][p]We put the old map back as default and added an option to switch to the new one for those that like it. This will give us more time to get the new map in a better place before replacing the old one permanently. Thanks all for your feedback on the new map.[/p][p][/p][h3]Update availability[/h3][p]This update is still under active development. As such, it is only available if you switch to the beta branch of Vanguard Galaxy to test out these new changes. Instruction on how to install the beta updates can be found at the bottom of this post.[/p][p][/p][p]Added/Changed[/p][p]- Overhauled the ship classification system to better support size tiers across mining, salvaging and cargo ships (sizes are now numeric and not small/medium/large as there were great differences between fore example different medium mining ships)[/p][p]- Changed mission description of story missions which require a future update to complete.[/p][p]- Added Economy mastery level (1% increased supply per level), you will gain mastery level by selling items with profit[/p][p]- When flying to a POI, ECHO checks which mission is active in that POI and set it as the tracked mission[/p][p]- New map is marked experimental and can be enabled in the options. Old map is default for now. [/p][p][/p][p]Balance[/p][p]- Lowered ship prices slighty, reduced the impact of equipped items on ship price calculations (Ship in a higher level station are still higher, but less of a difference)[/p][p][/p][p]Fixes[/p][p]- Fixed torpedo bay sometimes consuming a ton of ammo without actually firing torpedos[/p][p]- Fixed an easy exploit where viewing the skill tree resets all activated abilities if you have multiple skill loadouts[/p][p]- You can now toggle your "At War" status while docked at that station's Embassy[/p][p]- Automatic armory deposits no longer deposit the usable items added in recent patches[/p][p]- Fixed the Steam Overlay for a different game pausing Vanguard Galaxy (if you're running two games simultaneously)[/p][p]- Credit value of salvagable items added back into the tooltip[/p][p]- Drone health bars should be removed properly in all instances[/p][p]- Health bars now activate immediately on the first hit, instead of waiting for the second hit[/p][p][/p][p]And as always, if you find any annoying / interesting bugs or just want to give your opinion. Let us know on Discord or the Steam forums. Thank you all for enjoying Vanguard Galaxy. [/p][p][/p][p]Cheers, [/p][p]Bat Roost Games[/p][p][/p][h3]Enable the beta version[/h3][p]Make sure to keep an old save game when switching to the beta, just in case. We always make sure that your save games will keep working, but as long as the beta is ahead of the release, the beta save game won't work on the release version until it catches up.[/p][p]To take part go to Manage and select Properties for Vanguard Galaxy in Steam:[/p][p][/p][p]And select the open-beta under Game Versions & Betas as shown below.
