Changed

  • Game is now using Unity 5.

  • AI ships now have a warp bubble effect around them when they warp.

  • AI ships will now visibly travel to planets, stations, and warp gates. Ships that arrive at warp gates and stations will queue up and proceed to dock/warp.

  • Various improvements and fixes to AI behavior.

  • The player starts out neutral to all factions (requires new galaxy).

  • Adjusted AI for Turrets with Thermal Weapons.

  • Adjusted Mining Lasers, so that larger weapons will yield more resources now. As well changed the damage model that they are using, should take longer to mine an asteroid now than before which will allow more resources to be yielded.

  • Reduced the rate that durability and shields scale at by a factor of 2, this should make them a little more vulnerable to lower tier weapons. The best counter however is to use an appropriately tiered weapon.

  • Converted two Kinetic and one Beam weapon to fire Electromagnetic damage.

  • Kinetic Fields now take triple damage from Electromagnetic sources.

  • In Shipyard, hull resists are now displayed under the general ship stats panel.

Fixed

  • Auto align before warping should no longer just hang infinitely.

  • Steamworks support for MacOSX & Linux not working.

  • Fixed an alignment issue where parts placed on the front starting cube would flip 180 degrees.

  • The resistances displayed in the ship stats panel now properly shows the diminishing returns applied to them during gameplay.
