0.624.16 - Astrogate Scandal

  • Adjusted astrogation settings. Your astrogator will now try to get you closer to your destination and make efforts not to fly straight into it when you enter the ring plane again.
  • Your RCS thruster and torch dynamic lights will now respect the light detail settings and turn themselves off when requested, improving performance on low-end systems.
  • Increased chances to randomly encounter events such as big space stations and moonlets by just traversing the rings.
  • Increased frequency of log writes. As logs are now flushed to the disc faster, in case of a catastrophic software failure (aka crash to desktop), there is a much higher chance of them containing relevant information.
  • Updated translations.

0.624.13 - Flying by Stars

  • Changed the astrogation drift and spawning parameters. You will now come out of the astrogation sequence much closer to your destination. This can both make the game much easier, removing the need to search the destination area for what you were looking for, but also substantially increasing the risks of astrogation accidents.
  • Adjusted the spot where your ship comes out of the astrogation sequence during astrogation with a minimal speed. You should now end up at a similar distance to your target as if you were astrogating with your default velocity.
  • You can now scroll your pre-flight inspection screen with a gamepad.
  • When you hire a new crewmember, they will be automatically assigned as the preferred crew for the ship you had active when hiring. This prevents them from automatically leaving the crew if a day passes.
  • You can't pause and save after the launch sequence starts anymore. This prevents saving the game in a state where you paid launch fees but did not actually launch.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause complex objects to spawn on top of other entities.
  • Added extra logging to pinpoint any potential astrogation problems.
  • Changed the way the "rest at a capsule hotel until the end of maintenance" option is presented on failed pre-flight inspection.
  • Fixed a race condition that could cause focus to not change to the hotel option on some systems, requiring mouse use to launch.
  • Fixed the background viewport scaling at the Enceladus station. When changing resolution, HUD size or window size, the station in the background could get distorted.
  • Updated translations.

0.624.4 - Radio Silence

  • You can now call out bounty hunters for not acting on the information you provide them.
  • You can get an additional job at the bounty hunter HQ as long as you have relevant information.
  • Fixed a bug that caused crew interactions, xaser warnings and similar events to be much rarer than they should be.
  • Fixed race condition when discovering events which could, rarely, make an event not register in your astrogation logs.
  • Stock reconnaissance craft installed on available ships will now be displayed in the Dealer menu.
  • Updated translations.

0.623.5 - Wolf Whisperer

  • Bounty hunters will now remember if you exposed important coordinates to them and will change some dialogues based on that.
  • Exposing a specific, important location to bounty hunters could unlock your bounty hunting licence prematurely.
  • If you had a bounty hunting licence but fell out of favour with them, Vilcy ships could stop responding to some dialogue paths.
  • Fix a bug that could cause the game to crash when you make a specific dialogue choice with bounty hunters.
