Asteroid Mining Empire changes
This update focuses on clearer progression, stronger combat behavior, and a cleaner sector overall. A lot of the work in this update is about making the game easier to read whilse also making the system behind it behave more consistently.
Highlights
Improved tutorial flow The opening tutorial is now clearer, with stronger target highlights, better skip controls, and improved information for Ads Network and your first ad drones.
Cleaner menus and input feel Achievements and stats scrolling has been fixed, click-and-drag behavior is more reliable, and cursor hotspot alignment has been tightened so hovering and clicking feel more accurate.
Rare ship intel has been reworked Rare ship discovery now has clearer scanner presentation, better warning cues, improved off-screen signal tracking, stronger trail/fly-by presentation, and expanded late-game scanner progression through the rebirth Signal Matrix path.
Combat drones behave better under pressure Attack drones now stay in the fight when the sector is under attack, and only peel off for repairs once the area is safe if they are still damaged.
Enemy ship pressure has been improved Enemy ships now track drones more reliably, attack more consistently, and do a better job threatening mining drones during live encounters.
Big enemy ledger spikes feel more threatening Large ledger surges can now produce small ambient enemy waves instead of collapsing into one oversized enemy ship.
Void Fog and Asteroid Storm readability has improved Void Fog drone malfunctions now read more clearly, and Asteroid Storm throws more convincing out-of-bounds fly-ins through the play space.
Background and battlefield visuals have been cleaned up Drifting background planets move more smoothly, hacked ad visuals read more clearly, and drone repair/recovery feedback is easier to understand at a glance.
