Voidship: The Long Journey changes
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Voidship has always been a passion project and having such a supportive community has really helped to make it happen. Time to bring you a major update “Voidfarer Traditions”.
New content
25% more content to explore overall.
Encounter new events, longer dialogues with multiple choices to make.
New anomaly sector in system map - a high risk and high reward area with unique enemies. Learn their weaknesses and battle a mighty foe.
6 new modules - 2 of them unlockable within unique events. 5 of them featuring completely new game mechanics, like tractor beams and teleportation.
Major overhaul to the traditions system - the number of traditions has nearly doubled. Traditions come with added effects on gameplay, making the choices even more important. Through these choices, you tell the story of your Voidfarers.
More interactions and things to buy at friendly starbases.
Quality of life improvements
Ability to return to friendly starbase you´ve already visited.
New settings for camera rotation, screenshake and screenflash disabling.
- Build menu shows more stats for modules and the entire ship- ship speed stats - compare how maneuverable one design is compared to another. - module stats are reworked and calculate appropriate firepower for all modules. - module range, turning power and area damage range info. - items over budget more visible.
Resources pop-up while going into battle removed.
Rebalances and bug fixes
Due to popular demand enemy frigate spam in late game lessened. 20% fewer enemy frigates, but the remaining ones are stronger. New modules available to deal with fast small enemies.
Text overflow in UI fixed and polished.
Friendlies no longer drop loot, so you aren´t tempted to let them die.
When choosing dialogue options after battle the ship no longer shoots in the background.
Sole surviving enemy HQ doesn´t fly off at ridiculous speed.
A lot of smaller bugs and annoyances fixed too numerous to list.
Save games are not compatible with previous versions of the game. Start fresh and craft a new journey for your people. You can still use old saves by rolling back to an older version under ´betas´ in Steam. As always, if you encounter any bugs or have any questions or suggestions, submit them via Steam discussions or join the game's Discord. Thanks for playing Voidship: The Long Journey! - Milu and Kristi https://store.steampowered.com/app/906740/Voidship_The_Long_Journey/
