Patch v0.5.0 - Admiral Mode Update

Commanders,

I'm excited to announce Dynasty Protocol v0.5.0 - Admiral Mode Update is now live!

What's New

Admiral Mode - Take The Helm! For the first time, you can directly control your warships in combat! Jump into the pilot's seat and experience space battles from a whole new perspective. The new Admiral Mode UI provides all the critical information you need to outmaneuver your enemies and lead your fleet to victory.

Asteroid Resource Regeneration

Asteroids now regenerate depleted resources over time based on your difficulty settings. Plan your long-term mining strategy carefully - each regeneration cycle yields a percentage of the original capacity, decreasing with each cycle.

Enhanced Combat Systems

• Improved weapon targeting stability for more reliable combat

• Better turret textures for visual clarity

• Enhanced audio system supporting Admiral Mode

Quality of Life Improvements

• Comprehensive keyboard mapping support for vessel controls

• Improved Save/Load system

• General UI improvements across the board

• Better repair conditions for Stations, Outposts, and Defense Platforms

• New colony capture helper tips

Bug Fixes

This update addresses numerous community-reported issues, including camera transition problems, Defense Platform ownership issues, button hover detection, and much more. Check the full patch notes for details.

As a solo developer, your feedback has been invaluable in shaping this update. Thank you for your continued support and patience during Early Access!

Clear skies, Commanders!
