changedHello! The multiplayer is finally playable! Not a fully stable yet, but much more stable and smoother than before! We spent a lot of time on this update, but we managed to solve a lot very important bugs in physics and multiplayer, so now, situations when your ship may be destroyed by random explosion should be encountered no so often. However, it still might happen and we will continue to improve stability in the next update.
addedWhat about next update. We decided to start (continue) working on procedural missions. Seems like it is time to add various game goals which will be able to catch your attention for a long time. We will keep you inform about development of the next update. Check both "Improvement" and "Fixes" changelog for more information about this update. Thanks! :)
addedImprovementsAdded possibility to slow down time
addedImprovementsUsability of mounting points is improved - added visual line of possible connection and also distance and angular threshold is changed, so now it is more easy to connect modules.
changedImprovementsGraphics: Background or main menu is slightly changed (camera have different position)
changedImprovementsOptimization: The algorithm of mounting points is optimized, now smaller part joins the larger, not vice versa.
