PROMETHEUS v0.0.10

v0.0.10

NEW

• add new testers to credits (CasaClan, redacted_traveler)

• setting: tactical mouse scroll speed, chromatic aberration, UI scale slider

• settings are now saved

• Auto Traders: Flight is not valid if Dv ratio is less than 10% of max Dv (If not much fuel left)

• Bounty ships now take names from playtester suggestions (they're all awesome!).

• Tactical: Sun follows camera

CHANGES

• Removed lagrange point tracks/locations and replaced them with the stations themselves, which seems to have improved navigation towards lagrange points. Updated save system to adapt to this.

• Bug Report Panel: Button to Steam Hub for changelog and discussions

• Setting: linear instead of exponential volume

• RemovedStrategicRemoved "Low Dv" navigation requirement

• Reduced number of AI fleets in orbit to lessen fuel supply problem

• AdjustedStrategic > Navigation panelAdjusted acceleration plus and minus buttons to be more intuitive. Minimum acceleration is 0.01 G

FIXES

• welcome: concessions typo (I had to compromise the latter for the former)

• Fixed: Tutorial 3 white line on start and tooltip showing up

• Strategic: pressing esc while in the pause menu unpauses the game

• Removed ISSM (International Space Station Museum) since it was causing too many bugs

• Strategic: Disallowed setting acc/dec to low value (5% or less) to avoid lines moving a lot

! Fixed: Fleets lose Dv after combat. This took an entire night and morning of untangling spaghetti code. Glad that's over lol

KNOWN ISSUES (I'll be working on these next)

PENDING: Bugs that seem to be fixed on my end but still require more testing and confirmation

• Player not receiving bounty reward after combat

MINOR BUGS

• Tactical: Low timescale while moving camera is messy and jittery and affects ui update speed

• Fuel scarcity: DT and DH fuel is hard to find and causes fleets to get stuck in stations. This issue is caused by the fact that trading fuel is not very profitable for trade fleets, so they choose to trade other resources, which means fuel is not spread out across the system. Increasing fuel production for fuel stations also causes an issue where it fills up the entire inventory of the station. Will be improving this soon

• Tactical: ship burn audio loop has gap of silence

BALANCE

• Laser weapons/ships are currently very strong, I'll be tweaking their values over the next few patches to find a good middle ground. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

OTHERS (To be added/improved/intentional)

• Keybinds in settings

• Scrolling through menus also adjusts camera zoom

• Fleet repeatedly tries to fly to a target station, resulting in multiple notifications about failed flight

> This is intentional. Fleets try to set a flight to their target every in-game hour and adjust accordingly if it is not possible. This is noted, however, and will be streamlined in the future

• No collisions in tactical scene. To avoid jittery ships and projectiles, hard collision had to be turned off. I know this can be quite immersion-breaking, so I'll try to make sure ships avoid each other in the future movement overhaul

• Encounter Panel: Options to autoresolve and surrender are still not in the game
