Community Issues of note addressed:
- After accepting a mission from the mission board, players will now be returned to the previously selected mission category screen, rather than the 'all categories' screen.
- Fixed issues with transferring cargo to fleet carriers and SRVs requiring a relog. You no longer need to break the laws of reality to get your goods.
- Fixed Spire sites that are no longer under Thargoid control having a different masslock impact to fully functional Spire sites.
- Fixed an issue where the Hybrid Compound Bin was allowing duplication of the Spire Refinery Compound.
- Fixed an issue stopping the SRV from teleporting to the Spire landing pads whilst parked underneath one.
- The player will no longer receive a "Mission Updated" HUD prompt telling them to collect Spire site resources if they're arriving with all the necessary resources already.
- Mission details are now correctly displayed when accepting passenger missions at burning stations. We still don't recommend standing in the flames though.
- Fixed issue with mission boards not always displaying the correct destination name and distance.
- Spire mission resources taken from other players will now be accepted at mission hand-in.
- Stopped the Banshees from sometimes jittering sideways in multiplayer.
- Fixed Thargoid Scouts sometimes clipping through the planet surfaces. We appreciate stealth tactics but that was a bit much.
- Fixed issue where being interdicted near a Titan cloud could result in no Thargoids being present. They have now been given better SatNavs.
- Orthruses engaged in scanning at Spire sites will now seek to jump out if attacked.
- Fixed recalled ship arrival clouds sometimes appearing in a different location to the ship.
- Fixed an issue transferring cargo that had recently been bought from ships to SRVs.
- Removed an unnecessary navigation panel entry after scanning organics on foot.
- Stopped some Spire site terrain boundary edges being shown in ship landing schematic when above a planet surface.
- Improved appearance of organic objects when viewed from certain angles.
- Fixed an issue with rectangular shadows covering large portions of terrain being shown sometimes when approaching Spire sites.
- Fixed terrain objects sometimes turning black when exiting the system map. They have got over their goth phase.
- Fixed some emissive materials not changing colour correctly at Spires.
- Fixed some missing exobiology decals at Spires.
- Improved the lighting and emissive material blends at the Spire console
- Adjusted some clipping meshes at a Spire where it was possible to sink into the floor. You should no longer find yourselves in the backrooms.
- Various paintjob fixes and adjustments for some cosmetic items to make them look extra snazzy.
