Patch v0.432.03
Hi, small but important patch today.
New Feature
The multiplayer lobby is now multi region so you can join your friends across the planet without having to cycle between regions in the options menu.
Region control has been removed from the options menu and moved to the server creation window where you can choose where you want to host your game, this setting may have changed from your previous settings however once you choose a new region it should remain the default.
You may notice the list is a lot smaller but don't worry I tested the ping between regions plus taking data from since the game was released to selected the best servers for you to choose from. In time if more servers are needing to be added I will look at expanding the list.
Some of you may wonder about the region pings, the way they work are that when you host a game you aren't physically hosting anything, this is all happening on a server on the planet somewhere so what is actually happening is everyone including the person who started the game is connecting to that server so the ping is only between you and it.
Do let me know your thoughts with the new lobby (this is why its in Early Access :D ).
Fixes
Cheers,
Rob

Fixes
- There was an issue connecting as an Executron which caused the words "construction" to get stuck on the screen and also sometimes multiple versions of your self to spawn, this particular issue has now been fixed so joining as one should be more stable.
- No more CEO making a sort of passing gas sound when the game starts.
- Hacking and green circle symbols should no longer get stuck on the screen.
- A problem where mining ships would stop moving after an Executron who had captured an outpost had left the game has been fixed.
Cheers,
Rob
