Join the Beta Branch to test The Captain's Log!
I'm excited to announce a new feature that's being tested in Approaching Infinity:
The Captain's Log.
This is different from the place where messages come up, telling you what's happening. It's something you, the player are in total control of.
Did you find a planet with inaccessible areas and you can see the loot, just out of reach? Make a Log entry! Locate a really good price on trading commodities? Log entry! Find an officer you want to hire, or a good piece of gear you can't afford? Log entry!
You can view your entire log, up to 1000 entries, or you can sort by sector. The most recent entries are at the top. I'm also experimenting with getting that information on the warp screen, so you can make the most of it.
Another cool feature is that each log entry has an x/y location associated with it, and these show up on the space map. You can even tool-tip them!
This is not in the main branch; you have to opt in to the beta branch called "betafromnowon".
Library > Manage > Properties > Betas > betafromnowon
There is no password, everyone is invited :)
You can opt out at any time, and this will not mess up your saves, either opting in or out.
If you need an added incentive, well...
