Patch Summary

Patch 602 includes a host of improvements and bug fixes including correction of a hang/crash bug found in patch 591. A full list can be found in the Latest Release Patch 602 list on the Roadmap. In addition to fixes and improvements the first iteration of captain’s yachts and a preview of the Alpha One restructuring are included in this build. Yachts will be used when you enter civil / non-combat areas and offer greater speed and agility than your warships. The preview of Alpha One has its major structures in place and demonstrates the direction going forward for civil areas such as Hedonia and the 3 sisters stations which will be introduced in the start of Phase 3. New this build the player’s location in space will be represented on the galaxy map as a fleet element. Fleet elements represent flotilla and can consist of up to 4 divisions approximately 200 warships total. The UI for managing the content of your elements and creating additional flotilla is under construction and should be made full functional in the next few patches. Proximity of the player’s fleet element or ‘command flotilla’ with stations and systems is now a requirement for warping to local space around these areas. This means you will now need to travel to Alpha One before you can warp into local space and fly around Alpha One. This proximity requirement will be carried over to contact missions, events and other ‘local space’ activities in the upcoming set of patches.
