Hi,
For this patch I added a good amount of content but also increased the level cap for all classes to 15 since I'm adding several new skills. Let's go in detail:
New Quests and Encounters:
Armed Cultists in the Station: wipe out an armed Void Cult inside an abandoned section of a Pirate Lair.
Scav Crisis: deal with scavengers inside the hab sector of a crowded civilian station.
Rogue Scientist: eliminate a rogue scientist that's escaping with valuable research. Be wary of his buyers.
I also added a new encounter: Maelstrom. A trap for many ships can be an opportunity for pirates. Be wary of hull damage and desperate pirate hunters willing to board your ship.
I also modified the quest where you hunt a traitor pirate and added a boarding section to it to make it more interesting than just a space skirmish (also an option to receive a bribe for letting him go).
New Skills:
Here's a table with all new skills:
| SKILL | LEVEL | DESCRIPTION | CLASSES |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anti-Armor Expert | 12 | Reduces AP and ammo use by 1 for rocket and plasma launchers | Human Mercenary |
| Recall | 10 | Teleports friend or foe next to the caster. | Techno Sorcerer |
| Flesh Rewrite | 8 | Heals an ally by 6 HP. Can cause secondary effects. | Techno Sorcerer |
| Mass Distortion Field | 3 | Applies "Distortion Field" buff to all allies. | Techno Sorcerer |
| Quick Reload | 4 | Free reload (0 AP) with cooldown. | Human and VS Mercs, Techno Sorcerer |
| Advanced Training | 6 | Reduces "Aimed Shot" to 1 AP. Increases Accuracy. | All |
| Shade | 9 | Reduces cooldown of "Cloak". Increases movement and dodge. | Assassin. |
| Endless Barrage | 12 | Reduces cooldown and ammo use by 1 for Suppressive fire and Hail of Bullets. | Void Spawn Mercenary |
| Master Sorcerer | 8 | Reduces cooldown of all spells by 1 | Techno Sorcerer |
| Resupply | 5 | Restores 1 ammo/use for launchers, grenades and injectors. 1 use per mission. | Human and Void Spawn Mercenaries |
| Mark | 1 | Applies "Mark" debuff to target. Free action. | Assassin |
| Poisoned Daggers | 5 | Throws poisoned daggers (max 3) to enemy. Free action. | Human Raider |
| Melee Retaliation | 4 | Retaliates with melee weapon after receiving melee attack. Unlimited. | Human and Krell'Sha Raiders |
| Guardian | 12 | Attacks with melee weapon any enemy that gets close. | Human and Krell'Sha Raiders |
| Abomination | 10 | Unlocks "Shed Skin" and "Void Roar" actions. First cures many status effects, second terrifies and increases cooldowns for all visible enemies. | Void Spawn Mercenary |
| Second Wind | 15 | Gives an Extra Action Point. | All |
| Plot Armor | 15 | Now if this soldier dies, they don't disappear from your list and instead come back injured. Also +50% Death's Door chance. | All |
Adding to this some existing skills were given to other classes to compensate and others changed to make them more useful. The biggest change would be to the Assassin skill "Target Spotting" which no longer reveals a small area but works as an Area of Effect "Mark".
All classes have 23 skills and a level cap of 15 now.
Fixes and Minor Changes:
Fixed ship patrol in Alien Diaspora systems not appearing in many cases.
Fixed a bug where a mercenary would sometimes aim at other place when shooting a rocket (despite the rocket going in the right direction at the end).
Increased throwable knives action to 2 uses with no cooldown.
Added red holographic borders to some ground maps.
Added more vegetation and little details to some maps.
Fixed pirate lairs only showing a single Void Spawn in recruits list.
Added more cover to some maps.
Added hit and critical chances stats
