Between the Stars News

In this update we've added a crew reserve in order to solve some bugs that people had when having a full party.

In the reserve you can store crew members that are on your ship, but are inactive. This lets you get new crew members even though your active crew is full.

• We've added the crew Reserve.
  
• Crew can now be sent to the reserve in order to make space for others in the active crew.
  
• When you gain additional crew members and there is no space in the current crew, the new crew member will go to the reserve.
  
• Crew members gain 50% less experience if they are in the reserve.
  
• Reserve crew do not give bonus points nor can they be injured.
  
• When the player ends up without specialists, engineers or scientists, the Republic will send two new crew members of that class to the ship. We are still awaiting the voiceovers for when this happens.
  
• We have solved numerous bugs and corrected many grammatical errors.
  

• A bug that softlocked the game progress at the end of the quest Recovery (#128) has been fixed.
  
• A bug that softlocked the game in the Tesla Walk event (#81) has been fixed.
  
• A bug causing the event window to show more than one button in dice rolls has been fixed.
  
• A bug causing enemy ships to stop fighting in the quest Recovery (#128) has been solved.
  
• A bug blocking the completion of weapons research has been solved.
  
• A graphical glitch on the docking bay number indicator has been solved.

We're happy to announce that we've begun the groundwork for a community driven translation into multiple languages.

We'll start by rolling out translations for the UI of the game and we're working on getting everything set up so you can translate the events soon. Basically this is a test of the translation system we will be using to work hand in hand with you to bring the translation up to speed.
