[p]Hey Galactic Survivalists![/p][p]While we prepare for a major update for the holiday season, we have focused on fixing the bugs you reported in missions and related game systems for the current update 1.14. 
[/p][p]We have also further refined some of the newer features, such as more dynamic respawn for players.  Furthermore, all factions now call for reinforcements when you attack their space stations.[/p][p]We have also made some changes in response to feedback on the missions, both to the help systems and to the tasks themselves. Please note that changes to structures or mission sequences that you have already activated will not be updated automatically. If you encounter any problems, please contact [email protected] directly (preferably with your savegame attached or linked as a download). 
[/p][p]Many thanks to all contributors who provided us with detailed bug reports for 1.13 and its hotfixes!
[/p][p]We hope to receive numerous submissions and test reports from you in the experimental version that is starting NOW.
[/p][p]Here's how you can participate:[/p][p]1. Open STEAM[/p][p]2. Right-click on your game[/p][p]3. Select Properties and open the ‘Betas’ tab.[/p][p]4. Select ‘Experimental’ from the dropdown menu in the top right corner[/p][p]5. Let the game update

[p]We look forward to your feedback! [/p][h2]Changelog: v1.14 B4896 2025-10-23 [/h2][h3]
[/h3][h2]Changes:[/h2][p]Passenger Seat Persistence Improvement[/p][p]Passengers logging back into a dedicated server will now be reliably placed back into the passenger seat they were in when they logged out, even if the vessel has moved to a new playfield.[/p][p]This feature works under specific conditions: the seat must not be destroyed and it must not be occupied by another player.[/p][p]To ensure you can always reclaim your spot, we strongly recommend you reserve your seat.[/p][p]
How to "Reserve" Your Passenger Seat[/p][p]Reserving your seat with a Private Lock Code is the best way to guarantee your seat is available when you log back in.[/p]

1. [p]Aim at your passenger seat & press P to open the Control Panel.[/p]
2. [p]Navigate to the Devices tab & select the Lock Code option.[/p]
3. [p]Enter a code. Be sure to save this code elsewhere![/p]
4. [p]Check the Private box to hide the code from other players in the GUI.[/p]

[p]To use your reserved seat, simply attempt to occupy it and then enter your code when prompted.[/p][p]Important Advice for Passengers[/p]

• [p]If your seat is destroyed or occupied by another player, you will be placed back into the location where you originally logged out. Reserve your seat to prevent this.[/p]
• [p]Coordinate with the Pilot: Upon logging back in, do not exit your seat immediately. Confirm with the pilot that the vessel is stationary. Running or walking on a moving vessel is not supported and may lead to clipping through the hull.[/p]
