livrer de la nourriture là ou il en manque est un moyen pas trop risqué de se faire de la thune au début... Effectivement y'a le risque d'arriver trop tard mais bon s'il n'y avait aucun risque, ca ne serait pas rigolo ( bon y'a aussi le risque de se manger une patrouille, de se faire bouffer par les pirates etc )
Sinon suffit de chasser les pirates et de chopper les rewards correspondant, faut bien sur viser petit au début et monter petit à petit sa flotte et ses objectifs. J'accroche vraiment sur ce jeu, et les mods le rendent vraiment très complet et vivant pour le coup. ( j'ai mis StarSector+ avec quelques factions ) |

Je viens de découvrir ce jeu avec ce topic, je dois avouer que je suis assez tenté, une petite question, est ce qu'il y a des joueurs d'escape velocity (ça date un peu) qui ont testé StarSector pour voir les différences niveau gameplay et feature?

Oulà, me rappelle presque plus de EV, surtout que j'y ai joué à sa sortie sur mac, mais de mémoire EV semble bien plus complet que ne l'es pour l'instant starsector. Quand au gameplay c'est complètement différend, si je me rappelle bien il y avait une sorte de physique inertiel dans EV, qui est moins présent dans Starsector, de plus les fight se font dans des sortes d’arène dans starsector, ce qui n'était pas le cas dans EV.

http://fractalsoftworks.com/2015/11/...-0-7a-release/ Version courte : Citation :
Code:
Hotfix - 0.7a-RC10, November 20, 2015
Bugfixing
Fixed crash bug after battle where allies harried instead of engaging
Fixed issue with not getting any salvage when allies decide to let the enemy go after an engagement
Fixed typo in navigation skill effect description
Fixed wrong sprite being used for Kite (D) (affected Codex only)
Fixed typo in transponder tooltip
Fixed typo in "Last Hurrah" mission description
Removed errant quote from Locust description
Fixed more typos
Set Aztlan outer jumppoint to not show the gas giant
Removed "show sensor range" campaign keyboard binding that did nothing
Fixed SettingsAPI.getAllVariantIds()
Changes as of November 17, 2015
Campaign
Increased salvage from combat by 50%
Reduced number of system bounty events
Ongoing battles will autoresolve faster if they're lopsided; i.e. several patrols vs a lone pirate frigate will not take a day to autoresolve
Added current "suspicion level" to black market tooltip
Emergency Burn:
Halved CR cost (and thus, supply cost)
Now prevents CR recovery while active
Player respawn: will now pick random friendly market to spawn near, favoring larger and friendlier markets
Boarding:
Requires and uses only marines
Removed steps with picking boarding task force and number of marines/crew to use
Always successful provided there are enough marines
Faces more resistance from crew (more crew defending at better odds)
Marine cost increased to 500 credits
Reduced sell price of ships by half
Successfully boarded ships are automatically mothballed
Somewhat save-scum-proof
Combined "trade disruption" updates into a single item under "Events"
Added plus sign to icons of officers that can level up
Removed easy/normal start choice from new game creation; added two difficulty choices:
Normal
Easy
50% more salvage (supplies, credits, etc)
Level of AI officers reduced by half
10,000 extra starting credits
"Trade disrupted" and "price update" reports only show up in the campaign-level message list if they're from the same system. Will still always show up in the intel screen.
Price map in intel tab much more accurate
Combat
Damage taken is set to "full" by default
"All" button in deployment dialog will now select as many ships as possible for deployment when there aren't enough points to select all of them, instead of being disabled
Safety Overrides:
Now prevents active venting instead of increasing overload duration
Non-missile weapon ranges past 450 units drastically reduced by SO
Changes as of November 03, 2015
Campaign
Turned off comm sniffer investigations (at least for now)
Smuggling investigation:
Will no longer find the player guilty if they were wrongly suspected
Lasts 2-3 months
A chief investigator is assigned and can be talked to to resolve any misunderstandings
Guilty finding drops reputation with faction to inhospitable
Can be covered up (reducing chances/avoiding investigation entirely) by also selling on open market
Added "Faction ties" investigation
Started by major factions when the player has a positive reputation with another major faction
A chief investigator is assigned and can be talked to to resolve any misunderstandings, but only a couple of times before that's no longer effective
Maintaining positive reputation with more than one major faction (Diktat, Hegemony, Tri-Tachyon, Luddic Church) is not possible for very long; will eventually become hostile to all but one
Can avoid by keeping reputation at favorable or below
Added confirmation to player transponder activation/deactivation (have to use twice in a row to do either)
Added three new passenger liner type ships
Added liner fleets carrying passengers to and from different systems
Market procurement mission: now requires coming into port with transponder off if contact is an underworld figure
Added tooltip showing markets in a star system to stars in intel map
For now, "vengeful" reputation can be improved by doing bounties
Can also be achieved by normal combat, not just pursuit
Added "radio chatter" sounds when near a market
Commander personality now has some effect on fleet behavior
Evenly-matched or weaker fleets may follow you around waiting for an opportunity instead of fleeing or ignoring your fleet
Valhalla: improved accessibility of Ragnar Complex and nearby markets
Terrain adjustments:
Nebulas and asteroid rings/fields now reduce fleet speed based on fleet size instead of reducing the burn level of individual ships
Magnetic fields now reduce speed and sensor range by 50%
Nebulas, asteroid rings/fields, magnetic fields, and hyperspace storms now reduce speed by a percentage rather than a multiplier, allowing "Emergency Burn" to take full effect
Battles in deep hyperspace no longer have nebula patches on the battlefield
Navigation skill: now reduces burn level penalties from terrain by 5% per level
Combat
Cruisers will now be assigned to "capture" assignments as needed
Safety Overrides: now also extends overload duration by 50%
Hardened Subsystems: reduced CR degrade speed reduction to 25%
Reaper: made engine glow more prominent for improved visibility
Atlas: removed flight deck
Helmsmanship level 5 perk: now grants maneuverability bonus instead of top speed with zero flux
Miscellaneous
Reduced save file size by ~50%
Upgraded to Java 8 (should resolve issues on newer versions of OS X)
Reduced logging verbosity
"resolutionOverride" in settings.json should now work for oddball resolutions in windowed mode
Modding:
Added ShipAPI.setWeaponGlow(float glow, Color color, EnumSet<WeaponType> types)
Orbital junk removed from savefiles; regenerated on game load
Added ModPlugin.onGameSaveFailed()
Refit in neutral-owned stations/markets no longer offers free weapons from non-free submarkets
Added SectorEntityToken.getCustomData(), returns String->Object map for custom persistent per-entity data storage
Asteroids are no longer persisted in save files, unless they have something in their memory they are regenerated on game load

Changes as of October 19, 2015
Campaign
Added visual indicators of other fleets' sensor ranges when the player is near the edge of it
Hireable officer personalities (i.e. combat behavior) now based on the faction of the planet on which they're located
Headquarters, Orbital Station, Spaceport, and Military Base now affect the number and quality of officers in fleets from their market
Defeating ships captained by officers/fleet commanders now grants up to 5x increased experience based on the captain's level
Revamped campaign fleet generation; added officers and faction-specific fleet compositions
Revamped food shortage event
No more tracking of sales before event starts or investigations for overselling
Only affects markets of size 6 and below
Smaller markets are affected more, both in reduced stability and food price increase
Intercepting relief fleet increases unrest (i.e. reduces stability) at market
Selling food on open/black market has an increased impact on reputation while event is ongoing
Selling food on black market produces high unrest after event is over
Updated food shortage and trade disruption events to have prices smoothly decrease with player selling commodities and filling demand
Made intel message detail area slightly taller
Revamped trade, pirate, and mercenary fleet spawning
Reduced high-end system bounty rewards by about 33%
Removed post-engagement options of "maintain contact" and "stand down"
Ships on winning side now automatically recover some CR if the engagement was limited in scope
Recovery amount depends on total deployment cost of destroyed losing ships vs each winning ship's deployment cost
Maximum of 75% recovered if any enemy ships were destroyed
Added Luddic Path faction, radical arm of the Luddic Church
No markets, but launches small raider fleets from Luddic Church worlds
Hostile to player, but individual fleets may be bought off with a "tithe"
Auto-resolving pursuit: greatly increased effectiveness
Expanded battles
Can join one side of an ongoing campaign battle that may involve several fleets and last up to several days
When engaging another fleet or joining a battle, nearby fleets - both allied and enemy - will join in
Adjusted bounty payments and reputation gains when done with the aid of an allied fleet
Salvage and bounty split will depend on how much hull damage the player dealt to enemies
Friendly fire incidents will cause a reputation drop depending on the severity
Very serious incidents will drop reputation all the way to hostile
Fighting a faction's enemies in their system will no longer improve reputation with them
Adjusted crew losses from battle so that you don't end up being heavily over crew capacity after losing ships
System bounties now last longer
Disengaging from a non-hostile fleet will only drop your reputation to hostile if you destroy any of their ships (or entire fighter wings), previously would on doing any hull damage
Improved visuals for ship engine glows in campaign; improved fleet movement behavior
Turned off customs inspections, at least for now - sneaking into market w/ transponder off fills the same role
Combat
Added several new missile weapons (one small and two large)
Hurricane MIRV - changed to be a medium range finisher weapon rather than long-range
Removed ammo regeneration
Increased number of warheads to 10
Reduced refire delay to 5 seconds
Reduced range to be in line with MRMs
Increased missile hitpoints and range at which the main missile splits
Increased flight time of individual warheads
Added new midline missile cruiser
Hammerhead: changed small energy mounts to hybrid (can slot in energy/ballistic)
Added officer portrait to target reticle for ships with officers
Added "Safety Overrides" hullmod. Boosts speed and flux dissipation at the expense of a drastic loss in peak performance time. Can not be installed on capital ships.
Assault Chaingun: increased damage and flux cost by 50%, reduced range to 450 (from 700)
Heavy Machinegun: reduced OP cost to 10, range increased to 450 (from 400)
Harpoon, Sabot 3-racks: reduced OP cost to 4 (from 5)
Salamander 3x/Pod: increased refire delay to 25 seconds (from 20)
IR Pulse Laser: reduced OP cost to 5
Plasma Cannon: damage and flux use increased by 25%
Tachyon Lance: range reduced to 1000, damage increased by 200%, flux use increased by 100%
Ion Cannon: flux/shot reduced to 30 (from 80)
Heavy Mauler: damage reduced to 200 (from 250)
Ship AI:
Aggressive officers more aggressive
May use strike weapons against frigates if considers itself in trouble
Will now consider any non-civilian ship with weapons to be a combat-capable ship
Non-autofiring weapon groups will try to follow the mouse if they're not selected but the target is close to their arc
Miscellaneous
New graphics for some ships (Eagle, Enforcer, Falcon, Dominator, and a few others)
Updated portrait graphics
New graphics for Arbalest Autocannon
Added text scrolling for standalone (non-campaign) mission descriptions
Many missions updated; extensive backstory added
Added "alwaysUndecoratedAtFullscreen" key to settings.json, controls whether full-resolution windows are always undecorated or not. Set to true by default.
Falcon: added two small energy turrets, added 10 ordnance points. (D) variant does not get the extra turrets, does get +10 ordnance points
Fixed sound loop playback issue where loops would not fade out properly but would cut off abruptly
Built-in hullmods (Flux Shunt, Repair Gantry, etc) no longer show up in mission refit
Modding
Added "AMMO_RELOAD" ship system and ship system AI type
Added "cr/u" column (cr per use) to ship_systems.csv

void setSuspendDefaultMusicPlayback(boolean suspend);
Added GameState enum (COMBAT, CAMPAIGN, TITLE)
Added SettingsAPI.getCurrentState() to return current state
Added LocationAPI.setBackgroundOffset()
Added "doctrine" section to .faction file; affects fleet compositions and officer numbers/levels
Fixed bug where animated beam weapons would not glow properly during phase skim/teleport style animations
Decorative weapons now render in the campaign view and on ship icons
Dev mode only, edit variants from main menu only: shift + letter jumps to variants starting with that letter
Added baseValueMult to .skin files. baseValue still supported.
Made some breaking changes to FleetEncounterContextPlugin/CampaignFleetAIAPI, related to removal of maintain contact/stand down options
Added CombatTaskManagerAPI
Added CombatFleetManagerAPI.getTaskManager(boolean ally)
Moved assignment related methods from CombatFleetManagerAPI to CombatTaskManagerAPI
CampaignPlugin.pickBattleAutoresolverPlugin() changed to take BattleAPI as a parameter instead of two fleets
Other related API changes re: passing in a BattleAPI where appropriate
FleetDespawnReason.DESTROYED_BY_FLEET changed to DESTROYED_BY_BATTLE; param is now a BattleAPI
Added CombatEngineAPI.getDamageData() to get running hull damage dealt totals by each fleet member
Bugfixing
Fixed erroneous rate of fire being shown for burst beam weapons
Fixed turret alignment on Tarsus-class freighter
Fixed music-related out of memory crash if game was left running for a long time
Fixed faction description textbox size in faction intel display screen
Fixed bug where boarding action CR cost was based on the deployment cost of the ship being boarded instead of the ships doing the boarding
Fixed bug where Heavy Armor was not correctly applying the maneuverability penalty
Changes as of June 23, 2015
Campaign:
Added campaign sensors; can now only see other fleets when they're nearby
Added abilities that can be used by fleets, both player and AI: Transponder, Go Dark, Active Sensor Burst, Emergency Burn
Transponder, turning it off:
Reduces visibility, attracts attention of patrols
Allows trade with otherwise-hostile factions on the black market
Allows open trade with hostile factions for independents, pirates, and free ports
Combat officers:
Can be hired at markets using the comm directory to contact "mercenaries"
Can be assigned to command specific ships
Have combat-effective skills and gain experience
Player can pick one of two skills to gain/increase on each levelup
Navigation skill: while waiting for skill revamp, reversed the skill gains with larger ships gaining more and smaller ships gaining less. Also reduced burn level gain; does not affect frigates. (Yes there are some levels that don't have any bonus; see: revamp)
Augmented Engines: burn speed increase reduced to 1, now also reduces sensor strength by 50%/increases sensor profile by 50%, removed capacity penalty
Degraded Engines: burn level penalty is now uniformly 1
Removed speed boost after losing battle
Added terrain with fleet-affecting effects:
Nebula
Asteroid belt
Ring system
Star corona (with solar flares)
Magnetic field (with auroras)
Removed logistics rating mechanic
Ships have explicit "supplies/month" and "supplies/recover from deployment" stats, set to the same value (i.e one deployment costs as many supplies as operating for a month)
High Maintenance hullmod: increases supplies/month only
Automated Repair Unit hullmod: removed penalties; increase in CR recovery does *not* reduce the overall recovery cost
Removed supply cost per day for crew and marines (assumed to be negligible compared to ship maintenance)
Logistics skill, Leadership aptitude: now reduce maintenance supply use 30%/20% respectively
Fleet size hard-limited to 25 ships total
Removed "deployment points" as an explicit ship stat, battle size now based on supply recovery costs
Adjusted deployment supply costs - up a bit for smaller ships, significantly down for capital ships and cruisers
Combat balance:
Sabot:
Improved missile aim
Changed damage back to single-shot with 750 damage
Added variance in Sabot launch range to make it a bit more unpredictable
Increased projectile speed to where the AI can't always react and lower shields in time
Non-missile projectiles that are fading out after reaching maximum range now deal soft-flux damage to shields
Slightly improved Harpoon missile target tracking
Accelerated Ammo Feeder: reduces flux cost of ballistic weapons by 30%
Pilum: reduced hitpoints to 50 (from 125)
Ship AI:
Ship aim will improve as time is spent firing at the same target; time from worst aim quality to best is ~15 seconds
Autofire aim will improve as time is spent firing at the same target; time from worst aim quality to best is ~15 seconds.
As will AI manual targeting
Improved fighting vs drones somewhat (prioritizes them less)
Combat:
Campaign terrain effects:
Campaign combat maps now spawn with appropriate nebula graphics and amount for the location
Effect of nebula changed to align with in-campaign effect
Fighting in corona: reduced peak time, increased CR degradation, slight screen glow
Fighting in ring system: lots of small, non-collision-damaging asteroids on battlefield
Miscellaneous:
Added custom graphics for the following hullmods: civilian-grade, hardened subsystems, high maintenance, high-res sensors, phase field
Added "Solar Shielding" hullmod - reduces effect of travel and fighting inside a star's corona; reduces beam damage taken slightly
Modding:
Fixed NPE caused by using ship AI flags for drones
Fixed issue where EveryFrameScripts added to an entity would never run while the game is paused
Fixed bug where using an area-of-effect exploding missile as a MIRV projectile would cause an NPE
Added to CampaignEventListener:
reportPlayerActivatedAbility()
reportPlayerDeactivatedAbility()
Added HYBRID weapon slot type that allows ballistic and energy weapons, but not missiles
MutableFleetStatsAPI.addTemporaryModXXX methods now key off the source parameter - multiple changes with the same source id are no longer possible
Added LocationAPI.getPersistentData()
Fixed NPE caused by assigning quad trails to ships; quad trails for ships still have artifacts
Added BattleCreationPlugin.afterDefinitionLoad() method
Added ModPlugin.configureXStream method that allows customization of XStream, which is used to create save files. In particular, can be used to alias class and field names to shorter names.
Added DynamicStatsAPI
Allows creating new mutable stats using string ids as keys
MutableFleetStats.getDynamic() and MutableShipStats.getDynamic()
Bugfixing:
Fixed bug where player gender would revert to "ANY" on saving and then loading a game
Fixed bug where selling a not-in-demand commodity one at a time would produce a better price than selling in bulk
Changes as of April 05, 2015
Campaign:
Added 5 new star systems
Added "Hydroponics Complex" market condition
Added market conditions for a variety of new planet types
Added alternate shortcuts to interaction menu options, in addition to number keys (i.e. Esc = Leave, etc)
Price list in commodity tooltip will now compress multiple entries for the same commodity into one, provide the prices are the same/very similar
"Move in to engage" will show a confirmation dialog when vs non-hostile target
Fixed autoresolve issue that incorrectly penalized ships with good shields and benefited ships with poor shields
Greatly increased CR penalty from refitting in flight, especially for hullmods
Locally-produced goods now available on the black market even if they're not available on the open market due to being mostly exported
Added support for campaign missions (e.g. quests)
Added "market procurement" mission - acquire and deliver X commodity to a contact at market
Added browseable comm directory and mission board to markets
Can be used when docking with hostile markets
Can improve relationships with specific people
Generally, people with a positive relationship will offer missions even if the faction is hostile
Other effects TBD
Person info panel updated to show relationship, faction affiliation, player relationship with faction, person rank, and current post
Added new music for Luddic Church faction
Added combat officers
Can hire by talking to "mercenaries" via market comm directory
Can be assigned to any ship (not fighter wings)
Have the following pool of skills: all combat skills, Gunnery Implants, and the effect of the combat aptitude as a "skill"
Start with one level 1 skill
Have one of four personalities affecting in-combat behavior:
Timid, cautious, steady, and aggressive
Player can choose one of two (randomly picked) skills to learn or improve at each level-up
Not limited by aptitude level when increasing skills
Only grant the combat portion of their skills
Current maximum level is 20, learning a skill learns it at level 1, improving gains 3 levels
Gives exactly 5 maxed-out skills at level 20, or some combination of lower-level skills
Numbers may change
Gain experience based on time spent in combat, experience split among all officers deployed
Player can have a maximum of 10; can be dismissed
Combat balance:
Autopulse Laser: increased damage by 20% and flux generation by 25%
Proximity Charge Launcher: now has the PD tag
Lasher: increased flux dissipation, armor, and shield arc
Ship AI/orders:
Found and fixed an issue that could cause occasional suicidal behavior (would attempt to pursue an enemy perceived as trying to kite it, into a very bad situation)
Added "Avoid" order, can be set on enemy ships to make all your ships try to avoid getting near them
Ships can be explicitly assigned to the "avoid" target, in which case it'll work as an "engage" order
Improved order-following
Ships assigned to capture/control/assault/defend will do a better job of both avoiding enemy contact and moving towards the objective
Improved conservation of HE missiles (i.e. Harpoons) vs unshielded frigates. Test case of Wolf (CS) vs 2x Hound (D), 2x Cerberus (D), and 1x Lasher (D) -> Wolf saves enough missiles to effectively take out the Lasher
Improved conservation of kinetic missiles (i.e. Sabots) - less likely to fire off when high on flux and unable to follow up
Improved behavior with regard to re-engaging a target while having higher flux than target
Improved map-border-avoiding behavior
Improved maneuvering to facilitate the use of Reapers and other rocket-type weapons
Improved spreading out by multiple ships facing a single target
Reduced propensity to get very close to a vulnerable target and stay there
Autofire AI will now consider whether an enemy is blocking a friendly from being shot at, for purposes of friendly fire danger detection
Improved broadside AI:
Will now turn more into a broadside if its frontal firepower is significantly lacking
Will pursue (by turning towards enemy) less
Miscellaneous:
Apogee's Sensor Drones can no longer be set to free roam
PD weapons with charges will now conserve up to 10 ammo vs non-PD targets
Thumper and Storm Needler no longer show "x9999" burst size on tooltip
Clarified "High Maintenance" hullmod description
Fixed occasional unnecessary background texture reloading when starting battles/simulations in the campaign
Modding:
Added DamagingProjectileAPI.getBaseDamageAmount();
Economy shouldn't crash if there are no markets configured
Added ShipVariantAPI SettingsAPI.getVariant(String variantId)
Very large turrets should no longer cause visual artifacts on disabled ships
Fixed bug that caused prices for markets of size >7 to be computed incorrectly
shipBuy/SellPriceMult now properly affects fighter wings
OptionPanelAPI now sets alternate shortcut that works in addition to the number key matching the option. It's always bracketed and put at the end.
CampaignEventListener.reportPlayerOpenedMarket() now called when player opens interaction dialog rather than when player actually opens the trade UI
Added CampaignEventListener.reportPlayerClosedMarket(); called when interaction dialog is closed
Added OptionPanelAPI.addOptionConfirmation
tips.json now merged on load instead of always replacing the vanilla one
Added FactionAPI.getMemoryWithoutUpdate()
Added PersonAPI.getMemory()
Added PersonAPI.getMemoryWithoutUpdate()
Added to MarketAPI:
void initCommDirectory();
CommDirectoryAPI getCommDirectory()
void addPerson(PersonAPI person);
void removePerson(PersonAPI person);
List<PersonAPI> getPeopleCopy();
Added to SectorEntityToken:
PersonAPI getActivePerson();

CampaignEventManagerAPI.startEvent(CampaignEventPlugin primedEvent)
Added ReportAPI (for accessing data from reports.csv)
Added SectorAPI.getReport(String eventType, String eventStage, String channel)
Added LocationAPI.getAllEntities()
Improved performance of:
SectorAPI.getEntityById()
LocationAPI.getEntityById()
Fixed minor on-rack missile rendering issue
Highlighting in reports/tooltips/shortcuts/etc now requires a non-alpha-numeric char after a match (i.e. a space, punctuation, etc)
Added support for modding person ranks and posts (default_ranks.json, "ranks" section in .faction)
Expanded PersonAPI
Added CampaignMissionPlugin, CommDirectoryAPI, etc (as necessary to support new campaign functionality)
Added SectorAPI.getImportantPeople()
Added to ShipEngineControllerAPI:
extendFlame()
fadeToOtherColor()
Added SettingsAPI.getPlugin() to retrieve plugins defined in the "plugins" section of settings.json
Added SettingsAPI.getSortedSkillIds(), returns skill ids sorted by "order" in skill_data.csv
Added SkillSpecAPI
Fixed crash bug caused by ship name Roman numerals getting up to 4000
Added "combat officer" column to skill_data.csv; governs if skill is available to combat officers
Made CoreReputationPlugin easier to mod without replacing entirely
Added RepActions.CUSTOM
Specifics of reputation change specified via CustomRepImpact class
Usage:
CustomRepImpact impact = new CustomRepImpact();
<set fields in impact to desired values>
Global.getSector().adjustPlayerReputation(new RepActionEnvelope(RepActions.CUSTOM, impact, message, true), factionId)
Added "evenSpread" parameter to mirv spec
Bugfixing:
allowShipControlWhilePaused now set to true in settings.json, as was intended
Fixed rare crash bug caused by weapon group going away due to a critical malfunction but the AI still thinking it exists and wanting trying to fire it
System-activated engines no longer show up on ships in the campaign view
Fixed rare crash while adjusting music volume
Fixed bug where repair-at-market cost would be extremely high if ship crews were understrength
Fixed issue where leaving X cargo and then picking up exactly X cargo would lead to the listed cargo space used being incorrect
Thunder-class fighters no longer immediately go to refit after firing off their Harpoon missile
Captured enemy ships will no longer ship up in the "disabled" category in the enemy fleet in the fleet encounter dialog
Fixed bug where intel prices would occasionally not update correctly when docking at a market
Fixed issue where player-sold commodity stockpile value used for pricing would reset on a save/load for commodities not in native supply or demand
Fixed bug where market music would continue playing in the campaign after running a combat simulation in-market and then leaving
Fixed crash caused by adjusting music volume after music has erroneously stopped playing
(Probably) fixed issue with music stopping to play (seems to only be an issue with some mods?)
Fixed bug where fighter wings would not properly lose CR for taking losses in combat in some circumstances
Fixed bug where initiation a transaction at a military submarket and then cancelling would result in the items in the submarket being re-sorted incorrectly
Increased Hound shield radius so it works properly when a Front Shield Generator is installed

La très grosse mise à jour 0.8a pour Starsector est maintenant jouable.
http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/in...?topic=11477.0 Citation :
Code:
Changes as of April 13, 2017
Campaign
Planets with ruins will now have orbital junk, like regular markets (but no radio chatter)
Person-bounty fleets now marked as "mission important" (i.e. will show indicator on map/campaign when visible)
Can no longer scuttle, sell, or store the last ship in your fleet
Control-clicking on a stack cargo to take or buy it will transfer just enough to fill up free capacity
Another ctrl-click will take the rest, if desired
Mostly meant to make topping off on fuel quick and easy
Control-clicking cargo to sell/store/eject it will initially only transfer enough to put you at maximum capacity, if you're above it
Another click will transfer the rest
Added slight base demand for fuel and supply to all markets (makes supplies/fuel more generally available)
Fuel:
Reduced price to 25 credits (from 50)
Roughly doubled amount available
Increased proportion of fuel from salvage, battle salvage, and scuttling
Reduced ship fuel capacity, generally by around half
Cargo ships tend to have a bit more
Carriers a bit less
Overall goal is to encourage more casual exploration (cheaper, more abundant fuel) and open up a few more choices in fleet composition (how many/what types of tankers to use)
Reduced cargo capacity somewhat, especially of combat ships above frigate level
A fleet with many larger ships is more likely to want to bring freighters along
A fleet with mostly frigates is largely unaffected compared to before
Attempting to activate the transponder when doing so will make a faction hostile will bring up a confirmation dialog
Scavenge ability:
Chance of an accident starts low and increases with subsequent operations in same debris field
As do the losses from an accident
Updated sensor range calculation
One fleet's sensor profile is added to another fleet's sensor range to get the detection range
Skills/abilities/terrain etc still modify this combined range, as before
Ships contribute 30/60/90/150 to sensor strength and profile, based on ship size
Added to a base fleet strength/profile of 300
Only the 5 ships with the highest profile and strength are used, can be different set for each
Adjusted various related hullmods; of particular note:
High Resolution Sensors give a flat +60 to sensor strength
Phase Field sets the ship's profile to 0
Maximum sensor range indicator (to detect your fleet) now also shown when mousing over another fleet
Overall:
Slightly increased detection ranges, most impactful for smaller fleets
Easier-to-gauge impact of specific ships, since it's linear
New inventory icons for fuel and supplies
Added campaign tutorial:
Introduces major gameplay elements and goes through active abilities
High-level, involves doing a multi-stage mission to get out of new starting star system
Can be skipped; if skipped starts player with similar resources/standing as if they did it
New game creation:
Added button to randomly generate a name
Added button to randomly a pick portrait
Re-did starting options
Starting ship: Wolf or Wayfarer
Second ship: Kite with officer, or Shepherd with heavy machinery
Difficulty: normal or easy
Tutorial: do or skip
Easy difficulty now:
Reduces damage taken by all ships on your side by 25%
Increases sensor range by 500
Increases all salvage (combat and non-combat) by 50%
Added visual indicator for mission-important entities in campaign screen
Added "survey planet" mission
Turned off trade disruption condition for now (incentivizing the wrong things, current iteration not working design-wise)
In-flight refit: adding weapons/hullmods will again reduce CR, but not below the malfunction threshold
Still makes outfitting recovered ships mostly free as they can't start with more CR than that
Prevents some potential exploits
Improved fleet AI: computes better intercept point when pursuing another fleet
Reduced use of Emergency Burn by AI fleets, especially during pursuit
Running a salvage operation or scavenging will now bring your fleet to a stop
Added UI indicators to debris fields to make them easier to spot
Solar Shielding: modified description to mention that it also protects against hyperstorms
Campaign music will now stop while surveying a planet or otherwise interacting with it
Radar now shows hyperspace terrain (does not show any other kind of terrain)
Ships
Shepherd:
Added Salvage Gantry as built-in hullmod; +10% potential salvage
Increased fuel capacity
Paragon: reduced OP by 30, added built in "Advanced Targeting Core" - +100% weapon range
Miscellaneous
Disabled buttons will now flash when they fail-to-be-activated using the shortcut key
Modding
Added secondary faction color for fleet circle indicators
"secondaryUIColor":[<color>],
"secondarySegments":<integer>,
Only used by the fleet/station/entity/etc circles, nothing else
Ship tooltip: non-phase cloak right-click systems will show "Special" instead of "Defense" and the proper system name
reportBattleFinished() now properly called when battle ends, both for autoresolve and player battles
Bugfixing:
Fixed Wolf collision radius (was smaller than shields, could cause limited collision detection problems)
Fixed another campaign-game level memory leak
Changes as of March 23, 2017
Campaign
Added several salvage-related themes for procedurally-generated star systems (e.g. "ruins", etc)
Added new mission to encourage/reward exploration
Added "Distress Call" player ability; may result in friendly fleet arriving with some fuel or supplies
May now receive distress calls while traveling through the Sector
Ejecting cargo:
Creates "cargo pods" that will drift away and be lost within a few days
Can stabilize orbit of cargo pods for several months; costs supplies based on amount of cargo
Only in-system, not in hyperspace
Can put crew in cargo pods ("cryosleep" etc)
Person bounties:
Increased maximum concurrent to 5 (was: 3)
Increased base reward to 30k (was: 20k)
Added random component to reward
Target fleets now hide out outside the core worlds area and tend to favor star systems that are also otherwise interesting
Can click minimap in intel message detail to switch to map tab showing location that was on miniamp
Surveying planets now generates a "Survey Data" commodity
Ranges in quality from Class 1 through Class 5 depending on planetary conditions found
High-class data is extremely valuable
Added a "lay in course" feature
To activate, "lay in course" from map
Works across star systems, i.e. can lay in course for specific planet while in another system
Will pick optimal jump-points and update next waypoint automatically
Shows info re: where you're going (direction, fuel, distance, time)
Can divert from it and then resume autopilot easily
Planets that don't already have related jump points (i.e. gas giant gravity wells) get "nascent" gravity wells in hyperspace
Transverse Jump ability:
Jump into systems using nascent gravity wells
Jump to hyperspace from anywhere in-system without using a jump-point (costs fuel and a bit of CR)
Unlocked by level 3 Navigation skill
Neutrino Detector ability (requires Sensors skill)
Detect entities anywhere in-system
Remote Survey ability
Gain preliminary survey information for all nearby planets
Unlocked by level 1 Surveying skill
Rare Ore renamed to "Transplutonics"
Increased maximum player fleet size to 30
Improved scuttle dialog; scuttling now also yields heavy machinery
Added stand-alone stations to the intel "planets" tab
E.G: station around Jangala isn't included there since it's part of the Jangala market
Kanta's Den *is* included since it's the main entity comprising its market
Maxios and Killa - decivilized markets - now do not participate in the economy; can't be traded with
Enemy fleet commanders now have access to fleet-level skills such as "Coordinated Maneuvers" and "Electronic Warfare"
Number of enemy officers capped by the commander's Officer Management
Likelihood and level/presence of these skills varies by faction; i.e. pirates are less likely to have them, and if they do they'll be lower level
Officer skills for AI fleets are picked appropriately for carriers (while still using the same "select 1 skill" process the player uses)
Added multiple special events that occur during salvage operations
Debris fields generated by battles now sometimes yield recoverable (but badly damaged) ships
Battles now generate derelict ships that slowly drift away, can be salvaged, and are eventually lost
Adjusted fleet compositions so that beam-focused Wolf variants don't show up in smaller fleets as often
Ship recovery
Destroyed and disabled ships have a high chance of being recoverable after combat
Recoverable ships get permanent d-mods (Compromised Armor, Degraded Engines, etc)
Deployment supply cost of ships reduced by 20% (multiplicative) per d-mod
Enemy ships get more d-mods, own ships get 1 extra d-mod each time they're recovered
Several ways to ensure ships are always recoverable:
Reinforced Bulkheads (ship it's installed on)
Damage Control skill (ship piloted by person w/ skill)
Fleet Logistics skill (all ships piloted by officers in fleet)
Ships with (D) mods can be restored at a market, for a high price based on the amount of damage (up to around 4x base with 4 d-mods)
This includes both damaged ships and ships that normally have dmods, such as Luddic Path frigates with Ill-Advised Modifications
Ship autofit
Pick a "target" variant from a configurable set and it will automatically create a fit using what's available
Will use similar weapons if exact ones in target variant aren't available
Multiple options (buy from market, allow black market purchases, etc)
Replaces "manage variants" in refit screen
"Select next ship with unspent ordnance points" button in refit screen
Unspent ordnance points now also shown on ship list in refit screen
Option to quickly spend any unspent points for a ship without fully refitting it
Will spend points on vents, capacitors, and some general-purpose hullmods
Refit screen
"Add hullmod" dialog:
Added tabs to filter hullmods by category (All, Offensive, Defensive, Engines, Special)
Added "hide already installed hullmods" checkbox
Added indicator to show which hullmods are already installed
Improved overall readability and adjusted color scheme to be more in line with rest of game
Made some miscellaneous visual improvements
Added filters (by type and source) to weapon and fighter picker dialogs
Improved readability of items in dialog
Added "PD" indicator and weapon range to each item
Weapon tooltip now shows EMP damage for MIRV-style weapons
Miscellaneous
Added progress bar to game saving
Windows will no longer think the application is not responding while loading or saving a game
Ship ordnance points increased across the board by 0-20%, around 10% in most cases
Some ships increased more or less of an increase for balance reasons; examples:
Harbinger: 80 -> 95
Apogee: 135 -> 140
Ship refit now only degrades CR when something is removed. I.E. adding weapons or hullmods will not reduce CR unless something is removed to make room
Mostly applicable for recovered ships - spending their free OP will not tank their CR
Reduced deployment and maintenance cost of Buffalo Mk.2 to 4 supplies (was: 6)
Fixed frame rate drop when opening interaction dialog that could occur at larger fleet sizes
Removed CR reduction for hull damage taken in combat
Added "enableUIStaticNoise" setting to data/config/settings.json to disable UI static noise overlay
Weapons with recoil now retract their barrels while ship is venting
Reduced game startup time
Ships given the "Retreat" command will now turn to face pursuing enemy ships and perform more of a fighting retreat
Added "Direct Retreat" command for a best-speed retreat
Added workaround for issue with some recent versions of NVIDIA drivers causing game to not start
"Harass" assignment: ships will now make sure to stay outside enemy weapon range
Officers:
Now start with 2 skill selections at level 1
Max out with 7 level 3 skills at levl 20
Limited to 10 skills total
Skill overhaul
Aptitudes and skills limited to 3 levels
Both increased using "character points", player gains 1 per level
Each skill level has a perk, skills generally do not have bonuses that increase with level

+1-4% ECM rating per ship deployed, based on size
10-20% maximum range effect based on skill level
Does not affect fighters
Command points now regenerate at a rate of 1 every 120 seconds
Comm Relay increases regeneration rate by 25%
New/adjusted hullmods:
All percentile reductions applied by hullmods are now multiplicative
Most already were; this is just cleanup to ensure consistency
Goal is to avoid unreasonable stacking, i.e. -50% and -50% reducing a value to 0

Mainly for REDACTED reasons, not to improve it as a generic ship weapon
Ship AI:
Fixed some issues with AI being overly careful around enemy fighters
Improved logic for spacing out larger ships
Fixed issue with "eliminate" and "engage" ordered against stations
Modding
Game will throw an error message when running with any version of Java other than 7
allowAnyJavaVersion to override this
Game will now fail to load on Windows if jarfile filename case doesn't match that of the actual jarfile
On Linux, will crash while trying to load misnamed jarfile instead of
Game now checks for duplicate ids in various csv files being loaded, e.g. rules, person_names, etc
Will throw an error when found; helps prevent hard-to-track-down "duplicate rule id, so it's quietly not doing anything" bugs
ALL_SHIPS_IN_FLEET skill effects do not apply to fighters
Use ALL_FIGHTERS_IN_FLEET and/or SHIP_FIGHTERS instead
MissionDefinitionAPI.getDefaultCommander(FleetSide side)
Can be used to give fleet-affecting skills to mission sides
Station weapons now render above all station modules
Fixed issue where mods were unable to override colors in settings.json
WeaponGroupAPI:
WeaponAPI removeWeapon(int index);

Changes as of December 03, 2016
Campaign
Added options to new game creation
Sector size (small or medium)
Sector age (old, average, young, mixed)
Random seed used to generate sector
Can be copied from character tab in existing game
Can be used to replay the same sector or shared
Added procedurally generated constellations and expanded map (about 16x previous area, ~200 star systems maximum right now)
Deep hyperspace now functions similarly to nebula (slows down smaller fleets, fleets inside are less visible)
The slow-down effect is up to 30% (vs 50% for nebula)
Campaign map overhaul
Two tabs, "sector" and "system"
Sector tab can be viewed while inside a star system
Max zoom in sector tab is set to always be enough to fit full map on screen

Ships can now break apart (and become "destroyed") when disabled
Destroyed ships can't be boarded post-battle
Raised base boarding chance to compensate
Salvage from destroyed ships is now the same as for disabled ships
Pieces of debris can be shot at and broken apart further
Armor value for damage reduction no longer goes below 5% of base armor value

Added "tags" to abilities that govern how abilities interrupt/disable each other
Example:
Emergency Burn has tags: burn+, stealth-, sensors-
Active Sensor Burst has: burn-, stealth-, sensors+

Fixed minor collision detection bug when checking whether exact bounds contain a point
Fixed ship AI issue where heavier (by internal mass value) frigates would not try to avoid collisions with lighter ones
Fixed issue where using "Fast Missile Racks" immediately after firing some types of missiles
Trying to activate an out-of-ammo shipsystem will no longer turn off the zero-flux speed boost
Fixed bug with phase ships not properly considering the incoming DPS from fast-firing weapons

Deux mises à jour rapides sont sortis entre temps, il faut télécharger le jeu à nouveau pour en profiter. Les sauvegardes devraient être compatibles.
En anglais, cette vidéo montre assez bien les changements à attendre, par un joueur qui connait déjà les versions précédentes, donc pas de découverte à l'aveugle : |

Et paf la version 8.1a
http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/in...?topic=12482.0 Code:
Changes as of June 03, 2017
Campaign
Fixed fleet overpopulation issue that caused hyperspace to get laggy around the time of the tutorial end (scavenger fleets were hanging out in core area instead of heading out to the fringes)
Guaranteed at least one bounty from commission faction in a relatively timely manner
Damaged REDACTED have a level 10 officer in command instead of not having one at all
Limited occurrence of "Analyze Entity" missions with a target very far from the center of the system
Increased drops from some salvageable entities
Ship AI: reduced confusion of frigate and destroyer-sized ships when dealing with fighters
Centurion: lowered supply cost to 4 (was: 6)
Tempest's Terminator Drone:
Reduced shields and flux dissipation (to 200/50, from 1000/200)
Increased hull to 800 (was: 150) to roughly compensate
Increased replacement time to 30 seconds (was: 20)
Made some improvements to AI ordering a full retreat:
When only ships left are faster than player's, out of peak time, have not successfully dealt much damage recently, and don't outnumber the player too much
When in a retreat scenario and only ships left are phase ships
Miscellaneous
Windows build ships with both 64-bit and 32-bit Java; installs with proper one based on operating system
Changes as of May 30, 2017
Campaign
Person bounty events: brought back small chance to have pirate bounties at high bounty levels
Added shielded variants of Hound and Cerberus to pirate fleets
Added tooltips explaining cause when "perform salvage" option is disabled
Added sound effect for "pound into scrap" option
Added another exploration music track
Reworked Interdiction Pulse ability:
Takes some time to charge up, fleet slows to a stop during this time
Interrupts and/or triggers the cooldown on movement-related abilities of fleets in range
Emergency Burn, Sustained Burn, Transverse Jump
Also interrupts other charging interdiction pulses
Range is based on sensor strength of using fleet; shown while ability is charging
Effect magnitude is based on the comparative sensor strength of using fleet and target
No longer based on relative movement direction of target
Cooldown for affected abilities is set to a value based on the effect magnitude
E.G: 6 seconds base, +- (difference in sensor strength / 200)
Sufficient sensor strength on affected fleet allows it to avoid interdict entirely

Ships with modules will properly use total mass when collision occurs with main body
Bugfixing
"Factions permanently at war after a while" bug *should* be fixed
Fixed issue with mission ship variant editing
Fixed issue that caused REDACTED fleets to become non-hostile to player after some time
Fixed issue with post-pursuit-autoresolve ship recovery showing enemy ships as coming from player fleet
Changes as of May 24, 2017
Campaign
Lay in course:
Right-clicking on an icon on the map will lay in course to that entity
Also works on empty space
Right-clicking on empty space when a course is laid in will clear it
Made stabilizing cargo pods 2x cheaper; lasts 150 days
Weapon slot rendering: added "distance from center of ship on spinal axis" as factor for rendering order
D-hulls, restoration:
Pre-made, non-pirate etc d-hulls now have same weapon mounts and OP as base hulls
Will convert to the base hull when restored
Hulls with paintjobs (e.g. pirate, luddic path, etc) will retain original sprite and skin properties (OP, weapon mounts)
Clarified restoration dialog: now says that it will remove d-mods rather than "restore to peak condition", which implies more changes than restoration actually does
Removed "destroyed weapon mounts" hullmod; was more confusing than clarifying the matter
Pirate-paint-job d-hull names now end in (P) instead of (D)
Reduced ship restoration cost somewhat (still higher than cost to buy brand-new)
Restoring a mothballed ship unmothballs it
"Sought by patrols" will not prevent market interaction unless the patrol is at least somewhat nearby
Autofit target variants no longer show dmods in the tooltip
Autofit now attempts to recreate weapon groups used by the target variant instead of autogenerating them
Will no longer spawn distress calls from systems with pulsars
Campaign toggle abilities with a deactivation time now can't be reactivated during deactivation
Mostly affects Sustained Burn
Doubled chance for modspecs to drop after battle
Ox-class Tug:
Improves fleetwide burn by 1, cumulative with other tugs, not limited by its own burn level
High sensor profile
Base burn is 8
Uses 10 fuel per light-year and 10 supplies per month (but only 5 supplies to deploy)
Costs 40% CR to deploy (which brings down the cost to regain full CR, especially when recovered)
Scavenge: will now show rough indication of accident risk (low/significant/high)
Salvage not taken after the dialog is dismissed will be placed in a cargo pods object
Free look mode: right-clicking to turn it off will immediately toggle it off (with gradual return to center)
Fighters now start out in "regroup" rather than "engage" mode
Refit screen: fighter picker dialog will now show actual fighter sprite rather than schematic
Slightly increased salvage generated by the "pound it into scrap" option (should be roughly half of "proper" salvage after 2-3 scavenge attempts)
Added tooltip indicating the expected salvage quantity compared to proper operation
Shift-right-clicking the source cargo stack while some cargo is picked up will put down 1 unit of cargo
Added "administrator" person to markets that did not have any official faction representative
REDACTED fleets should no longer be able to initiate the transponder-off cargo scan interaction
During the basic combat tutorial, it should no longer be possible to destroy the Enforcer during the first step
Fleets will no longer try to "maintain contact" while Emergency Burn is on
Officers:
If already have a carrier skill: guaranteed a carrier skill pick on every level-up, if any left
Otherwise: guaranteed a non-carrier skill pick on every level-up
Hermes, Mercury: reduced fuel use to 0.5/ly, reduced fuel capacity
Added Colossus Mk.II and Mk.III
Hyperstorms more common, have longer "warning" period and move more slowly
Fleet tooltip: maximum burn will now update dynamically
Adjusted "in the heart"/"in the outer reaches" mission location descriptions to more closely match actual location of entities
When battle involves a REDACTED REDACTED, player fleet will always be allowed to disengage w/o pursuit
Scavenger fleets that turn pirate now have low reputation impact, i.e. fighting them will not turn you insta-hostile w/ either the independents or the pirates
Person bounties:
Take less completions to go up in level on low end, more on high end
Level 3 and higher bounties are all of the more difficult "deserter" type
Some bounties above and below the current level will be posted
Bounty level goes up with player level even if the player hasn't been doing bounties
Improved bounty description - mentions flagship, fleet size, and noteworthy commander qualities
Bounty fleet commanders may get fleetwide skills (electronic warfare etc)
New bounties will not spawn near where the player is
Technically-expired bounties will not end while player is in the same system as target
"Mission-important" flag on fleet will be cleared if fleet remains after flagship is taken out
Reward balance:
Toned down reward from "analyze entity" missions; increased fraction based on distance from core
Same for "survey planet" missions
Roughly halved drop rates of AI cores
Survey data:
Higher level for habitable worlds
Lower level for high hazard
Lower credit value overall
Planets in populated systems start out fully surveyed
Domain-era REDACTED:
Probability of defenders reduced to 50% on probes and survey ships (was: 100%)
Number and size (but not probability) of defenders grows as more and more are defeated
With corresponding hand-waving re: why/how it happens
Will always deploy all available ships, or as many as possible given the battleSize setting
Other REDACTED:
Higher probability and larger number of defenders at various habitats/stations
Smaller fleets will run away from the player instead of always engaging (to remove annoyance of having to fight the smaller fleets)
Station-spawned fleets have combat officers
New station-spawned fleets will get larger as fleets in same system are defeated
Undamaged station commander always has Gunnery Implants level 3
Size of new patrols spawned patrols increases more quickly as they're defeated
Procurement mission reward text updated to match new standard for how it's displayed
"Unmothball" tooltip will show estimated supplies and time to recover combat readiness
Food shortage events will now increase food prices properly (wasn't working right before)
Abilities
Sustained Burn:
Removed sensor range penalty
Can run Neutrino Detector at the same time as SB (but not Active Sensor Burst or Remote Survey)
Profile penalty increased to 100% (was 50%)
Acceleration depends on direction of travel - slowing down is faster, going to top speed is slow
More affected by hyperstorms
AI fleets will use sustained burn
Emergency Burn:
Fleet not affected by terrain movement penalties while active
Reduced duration by about half
Active Sensor Burst: reduced duration (4 seconds total)
Transverse Jump: fleet stops and charges for 3 seconds before executing the jump, can be attacked
Interdiction Pulse ability
Stops the fleet and charges for some time, then disrupts drive fields of nearby fleets
Temporarily reduces the burn level based on whether a fleet is heading towards the pulse source
Interrupts target fleet's movement-related abilities such as Emergency Burn and Sustained Burn
No resource or CR cost; 1 day cooldown
Slight reputation penalty if successfully used w/ transponder on; won't make hostile
Other fleets will try to avoid it by turning away
Used by AI fleets, available to player by default

Is automatically created on right-click when only carriers are selected
Fighters:
Normalized range of most fighters to 4000 (some were 5000, some were 3000)

Improved description of Stabilized Shields mod (clarified what bonus applies to)
Advanced Targeting Core, Supercomputer: extends PD range by 60% instead of 50%
Damper Field: damage reduction down to 50% (from 67%), charge regen rate halved (1 per 20 seconds)
Pirate version of Wolf now uses "Degraded Phase Skimmer"; only 2 charges and longer regen time
Trying to target an undamageable station body will target the nearest damageable module instead
Ships deployed in station battles will burn in from the edge of the map
Ship AI
Fixed ship AI bug that prevented carriers from auto-escorting nearby ships one size class smaller
Will now close in a little more on enemies it's winning the flux war against
Fixed issue that could cause certain ship loadouts to occasionally turn away from the enemy w/o a good reason
Fixed issue with carriers getting over-aggressive sometimes when given an assignment (such as "assault" or "defend")
Carriers given an "Eliminate" assignment will now focus their fighters on the target
(Hopefully) improved AI behavior in regard to friendly fire danger from fighter weapons
Fixed issue with carriers sometimes being hesitant to order wings to engage when they're on their own
Carriers whose wings all have range 0 should no longer set them to "engage"
Made some improvements re: missile use vs phase ships
Fixed issue w/ ships not closing in effectively on very distant enemies sometimes and wandering instead
Sounds
New sounds for Devastator shell explosions
New sound for Phase Beam
New sound for "Scavenge" ability activation
Miscellaneous
Game now comes with 64-bit Java 7 (7u79)
Increased default memory allocation to 1536m
Can still run on 32-bit machines provided 32-bit Java is installed manually

Fixed issue with non-leader fighters overwriting any changes to velocity
Added to ShipVariantAPI:
Map<String, String> getStationModules()
Added to SectorAPI:
List<EveryFrameScript> getScripts();
List<EveryFrameScript> getTransientScripts();
"Ships with modules" should work
Use SHIP_WITH_MODULES hint in ship_data, instead of STATION
When modules are destroyed, they don't drop their weapons and are still accessible in refit
When recovering, about half the modules are detached
D-mods only applied to base, not modules
Likewise with recovery
Base will not self-destruct on losing all modules unless hull is invulnerable
"empty hull" variants (for sale in markets) include empty-hull versions of all the modules
Case where different variants use different hulls for same module slot not supported
Non-phase-cloak right-click systems now display properly in fighter tooltip
Fixed issue with phase fighters leaving permanent "ghosts" when used with recall device
"allowAnyJavaVersion" setting now has to be changed by the player, can not be changed by mods
Added to SectorAPI: GenericPluginManagerAPI getGenericPlugins()
GenericPluginManagerAPI: goal is to provide centralize means of picking overridable plugins for mod-added features or vanilla features implemented in .api code
GenericPlugin pickPlugin(Class c, Object params);
Added tags and related methods to ShipVariantAPI
Using Tags.SHIP_RECOVERABLE to track whether a ship can spawn as a derelict post-battle, instead of using isStockVariant()
Added MutableShipStatsAPI.getFighterWingRange()
WeaponSpecAPI:
List<Vector2f> getHardpointFireOffsets();
List<Float> getHardpointAngleOffsets();
List<Vector2f> getTurretFireOffsets();
List<Float> getTurretAngleOffsets();
List<Vector2f> getHiddenFireOffsets();
List<Float> getHiddenAngleOffsets();
WeaponAPI:
void ensureClonedSpec()
Which then allows new methods of WeaponSpecAPI to be used and only affect that one instance of the weapon
Added engineSlotChanges to .skin files; see brawler_tritachyon.skin for example
"style" *must* be a custom style from hull_styles.json
Bugfixing
Fixed hyperspace terrain in radar not updating properly

Fixed issue sorting cargo on military submarket
Fixed issue where it was possible to unpause the game while in the scavenge dialog
Fixed bug with possible excessive crew losses after combat if a salvaged ship with low hull is in your fleet
Fixed credits not showing up in Luddic Path tithe dialog

Fixed "Restore" option becoming available on hulls that have already been restored
Fixed issue in refit screen where mounts on restored hulls would show "empty" hovertext after being fitted
Partially addressed issue where graphics would sometimes flicker on some machines
Fixed issue where autofit could go above the OP limit sometimes
Fixed autofit not using REDACTED fighters
Fixed AI issue where it was underestimating incoming damage for purposes of shield use
Fixed null in Safety Overrides description
Fixed issue where removing Converted Hangar would result in the loss of the slotted fighter LPC
Fixed issue where it was possible to click on already-salvaged entities on the map to salvage again
Mothballed ships now show in burn level tooltip
Going through a jump-point will no longer automatically "resume course"
Fixed issue with fighter wing LPCs on black market not being picked from the right sources
When sound initialization fails, the game will now show a message and proceed w/ sound off instead of crashing
"Save backup" step ensures data is written to disk (and isn't just cached) before proceeding
Fixed issue with excessive fuel/cargo being lost after a losing battle
Fixed issue with disabled fighters playing the wrong sound when destroyed
Fixed bug where venting would trigger the cooldown on Phase Lance and similar weapons
Scuttling a ship will now put any mounted fighter LPCs into cargo instead of destroying them
Fixed issue with intel messages losing line breaks after a game load
"Supplies to finish repairs" now shows correct amount when repair time exceeds CR recovery time
Fixed issue with some bombers not returning to refit if only remaining enemies are frigates
Fixed issue where ordering a full retreat made fighter wings abandon their carrier and run away
"Decivilized" condition now properly adds to hazard rating
Fixed several issues related to transferring command during battle
Multiple "analyze entity" missions will no longer target the same entity (and thus be uncompletable)
Khopesh rocket bombers will properly fire rockets in a burst vs frigates
Fixed issue where answering distress call increased reputation with the "Neutral" faction
Fixed issue with REDACTED fleets not spawning at REDACTED REDACTED
Fixed enemy ships with Reinforced Bulkheads always being recoverable regardless of player contribution to battle
(Hopefully) really fixed logging on OS X
Fixed collision detection bug when missiles were fired from point-blank range slightly inside enemy shields
Fixed issue with black holes having reduced effect when Sustained Burn is on
"Strike" weapons will properly attack station modules when on autofire
Fixed a savefile/memory use bloat issue (was holding on to some despawned fleets far longer than necessary) (special thanks to Dark.Revenant!)
Fixed issue where right-click assigning ships to a task could get other ships briefly assigned as well
"Inhabited" map filter will now pick up Galatia as being inhabited during the tutorial

Starsector 0.9a (In-Dev) Patch Notes
Trois fois rien, et notamment, les colonies. http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/in...?topic=13445.0 Code:
Campaign
Colony building:
Player can establish a colony on a planet they've surveyed
Requires crew, machinery, and supplies
Can change the planet's name, either when colony is established or at any point later on
Can build "Industries" and "Structures" (same thing, mechanically) at a colony
Some example ones:
Mining
Farming
Spaceport
Heavy Industry
Orbital stations (of several varieties)
Military Base
Tech-Mining
... and a number of other ones
Some industries can be upgraded, i.e. "Patrol HQ" -> "Military Base", or "Heavy Industry" -> "Orbital Works"
Most industries are known from the start, but a few more exotic ones can be learned
Can set a "stockpiling level" for a colony to have it build up extra resources the player can take
Stockpiling costs credits, but somewhat less than the base cost of the commodities
Stockpiles will be used to counter temporary shortages
Player colonies have a "local resources" submarket where they can take from, or add to, stockpiles. There's a "storage" submarket for resources that must remain untouched.
Player colonies do *not* have an Open Market unless there's a "Commerce" industry
Colonies start at size 3; population growth depends on many factors and can be directly invested into
Can assign AI cores to manage industries for various, significant benefits
A Military Base produces patrols which will defend the colony
Can hire Administrators (up to a limit) to manage your colonies
Can learn skills that improve the colonies under your control
Maximum number under personal control is soft-limited - reduced stability for going beyond
Can assign Alpha Cores to manage your colonies, for a massive benefit
Establishing the first colony also creates a new player faction
Can set the faction name and select a flag
Can adjust both at any point in the future
Blueprints for ship hulls, weapons, and fighter LPCs:
Required by Heavy Industry to build ships
Ship production "quality" is based on many factors and affects the number of d-mods a produced hull will have
Can be improved by certain items found during exploration
Some basic blueprints always known from the start, rest have to be acquired
Blueprints can be prioritized to get the desired fleet composition and weapon/fighter use
Affect fleet production by player colonies
Player can custom-order known ships and weapons
Will be built based on the monthly production capacity of their heavy industry
And delivered to a designated gathering point, along with some crew, fuel, and supplies
New economy system to support colony mechanics
Player buying/selling has direct impact on market's available commodity numbers
Player colonies can become suppliers for other factions and generate export income for the player
Relative "accessibility" of colonies determines who the best supplier is
Player has several tools to manage this, from establishing waystations to piracy
Officers found in sleeper pods can now be up to level 15 instead of 5
Administrators can now be found in sleeper pods; likeliest place to find high-skilled ones
Can now go over the maximum number of officers and administrators
Can't use the ones over maximum
Can't hire to go over maximum
Mainly useful to be able to find officers/admins in sleeper pods, while already at maximum
Factions
Factions have access to ships/weapons/fighters based on their blueprints
AI ship loadouts are dynamically generated, based on what's available
Factions have been adjusted so that their available blueprints and doctrine make each more distinct
Examples:
The Hegemony favors larger ships and high-quality officers
The Luddic Church, while also mostly drawing from low-tech designs:
Favors larger numbers of ships with lower-quality officers
Makes extensive use of Converted Hangars
Has access to a faction-specific "Perdition"-class torpedo bomber
Faction doctrine: settings that affect faction fleet composition and ship behavior
Each setting can go from 1 to 5
Warships - proportion of regular combat ships found in fleets, on average
Carriers - proportion of carriers
Phase Ships - proportion of phase ships
Warships, Carriers, and Phase Ships must add up to 7 points
Officer Quality, Ship Quality, and More Ships - must also add up to 7 points
Ship Size - independent setting, determines average size of ships preferred
Aggression - determines personality of officers; does not affect the player's own fleet
Also applies to combat personality/behavior of ships without officers, both for the player and for other factions
This aspect *does* affect the player's own fleet
Each faction now has an appropriate doctrine setting
Monthly income and expenses:
Outposts/colonies
Base income from a population
Upkeep for each industry; based on hazard rating of planet
A lower-hazard planet can support more industries on the "base income"; exact numbers still TBD
Can go above that for a negative income
Exports: income for becoming the best provider of a commodity to another faction's colony
Incurs "overhead" when there are many exports from the same colony
*Always* better to have more exports, but the added benefit drops off quickly
Storage - 1% of base value of stored ships/cargo
Crew, officer, and administrator salaries
Presented in a detailed monthly report
New tab: "Command", shortcut "D". Allows player to:
Manage colonies
Can also see which markets you have storage at and what's stored where
View latest income report
Manage the doctrine and blueprint priorities
Make custom production orders
Cargo screen
Can quick-transfer (or sell) a lot of cargo by holding down Alt then mousing over the stacks
Can be turned off via settings.json
Improved quantity selection slider for picking up part of a stack
Supplies/fuel/crew/marines/heavy machinery now shown first in sorted cargo; other commodities also shown before weapons/fighter chips/etc
Revamped intel screen
Tag-based filtering system
Always shows map
UI is updated based on the current state of missions and such
Can accept and abandon certain missions directly from the intel screen
Can flag pieces of intel as "important"
Intel is now "live" and does not require a new message for the information displayed to change
Person bounties:
Will now pay out and increase reputation when hostile or worse with offering faction
Information given re: where to find target now includes constellation and some planet/star system type hints, but no actual star system unless it's a lone star
Reward no longer based on market stability
System bounties:
Will now pay out and increase reputation when hostile or worse with offering faction
Most likely in systems containing markets hostile to each other
Faction commissions:
Have to talk to a high-ranking faction official to get one
Pays a level-based monthly stipend in addition to a small bounty for enemy ships
Partially restores standing with other factions as hostility status changes
Can be resigned; smaller reputation penalty if in person
Restores standing with factions that became hostile as a result of holding the commission
Faction hostilities: fixed various issues re: hostilities properly ending and total number/frequency
Last for at least 6 months, and rarely more than a full cycle
Hostilities between Hegemony-TriTachyon and other starting hostilities between major factions (i.e. not pirates/pathers) are no longer permanent
Smugglers now have a low reputation impact if attacked, i.e. won't turn entire faction instantly hostile
Chance to have advance intel about departures of trade fleets/smugglers, including timeframe and cargo
Changed options for colony interaction
Can open all core UI tabs with corresponding shortcut instead of just a subset
Added "visit dockside bar" option; details are WIP
Added "Consider your military options" option; sub-menu allows player to attack orbital station
Will also contain a few TBD mechanics re: planet-based military actions
Dropping cargo pods may now distract pirate fleets; duration of distraction (if any) depends on quantity of goods ejected
Autoresolve (AI vs AI, and auto-resolved pursuit battles):
Takes d-mods/production quality into account
Works with stations and modular ships
Made various improvements to "where is this entity" mission/bounty/etc description text
Toned down bounty level-scaling
Added "Compromised Storage" dmod, reduces cargo/crew/fuel capacity of ship by 30%
Added to Mudskipper Mk.2
Added Gremlin-class lowtech phase frigate, with pirate and Luddic Path versions
Buy and sell cost of ships now includes the base supply cost of their current combat readiness (i.e., no/minimal credit loss for recovering CR on a ship and then selling it)
Similar CR-based modifier added to supplies etc recovered when scuttling a ship
Added two new torpedo bomber wings: Perdition and Cobra
Fleet AI:
Much less easily sidetracked by chases; patrols in particular will largely focus on defending their objectives
When orbiting a planet, will spread out to try to avoid overlap with other orbiting fleets
Reduced number of campaign ship contrails; improves performance a lot and should generally not be noticeable
Sensors: combined detection range in hyperspace now limited to 2000 units (was 5000)
Added "generate name" option to colony renaming dialog
Installed fighters now shown in the fleet screen
Trade fleet routes will stop by a waystation if appropriate
Fighting independent scavenger fleets will now only slightly reduce standing with the independents
Temporary/event-based market conditions no longer have "event" label, grouped to the left of other conditions instead
Condition icon size scales down if there are too many to fit in the available width
Lava planets will no longer show up as part of the combat background (too bright)
Jump-point tooltip no longer shows planet types in unexplored star systems
Number of d-mods is now shown for each fleet member in the campaign fleet tooltip
D-mods are now also highlighted in the ship tooltip's list of hullmods
Made "fleet despawning" animation smoother
Number of supplies UI indicator will now include the picked-up supply stack, if any
When a course is laid in and you approach a jump-point, selecting "leave" will also disable autopilot
Miscellaneous
Updated to use newer version of xstream (1.4.10)
Cleaned up controls screen - updated text and removed commands that are no longer in the game
Made some improvements to game-saving code that should speed it up on non-SSD drives
Made in-combat "exit game" button red to avoid potential confusion with "claim victory"
Vertical scrollbar active area now wider, indicator expands when mouse is in active area
Improved algorithm for automatically generating weapon groups
Improved game startup speed when sound is enabled by up to around 40% total, depending on the system specs
Orbital Stations
Can be built at a colony to provide defenses and support nearby friendly fleets in combat
Existing colonies have these as appropriate
Three tiers: Orbital Station, Battlestation, and Star Fortress
Three tech levels/styles: low tech, midline, and high tech
Roughly similar combat power of each style, but different tactical approaches
Dynamically fitted with weapons based on faction weapon availability
Higher-tier stations are bolstered with drones and minefields
Combat
Improved proximity fuse range detection vs longer/thinner ships
Phase ships:
Doom: new ship system, "Mine Strike", spawns high-damage, high-delay proximity fuse mines
Huge buff overall
Harbinger: system changed to Quantum Disruptor
Afflictor: system changed to Entropy Amplifier
Various performance improvements, should be around 20-30% faster
Toggling autofire on on an already-selected weapon group will make that group autofire
Can override and get manual control by selecting the group again
Fixed bug that caused the fighter rate replacement multiplier to apply twice
New graphics for Annihilator Pod medium weapon
Greatly improved missile tracking
And fixed issues with ECCM sometimes making it worse; it should now be a significant improvement
Hurricane MIRV:
Made missile and warheads more visible
Reduced number of warheads to 7
Warheads are now two-stage (aim then unguided burn), but much more accurate
Integrated Targeting Unit: increased OP cost for frigates to 4
Centurion: middle two turrets can now face front; arcs expanded
Low CR no longer reduces missile weapon ammo
Renamed "Guardian PD System" to "Paladin PD System" (reasons REDACTED)
Colossus Mk.3: removed fighter bay and Ill-Advised Modifications
Added "Converted Cargo Bay" that adds 2 converted fighter bays
Ship AI
Fixed issue that was causing small weapon groups made up of hardpoints to not be set to autofire
Will no longer fire low-ammo missiles vs overloaded fighters
Fixed issue with too many carriers auto-escorting nearby combat ships
Reduced tendency of carriers to assign their fighter wings to escort nearby ships instead of attacking
Carriers assigned a "search & destroy" order will no longer use nearby ships to hide behind
Improved logic for multiple ships not using too many total missiles vs a single target
Fixed issue that was causing carriers to order fighters to "engage" too far from target, causing unnecessary loss of the 0-flux boost
Fixed issue that was causing carriers with some support fighters to not order the other fighters to engage
Fixed bug that caused a retreating ship with front shields to keep them on when it was not necessary
More likely to set smaller groups to autofire when flux is low, including hardpoint groups
Improved autofire flux management
Will autofire most kinds of weapon groups, depending on flux level and dissipation
Able to keep on pressure with low-flux weapons when on high flux
Improved flux management for high-flux weapons such as Heavy Blasters
Fixed bug that was causing fighters to only rarely fire missiles/torpedoes at low-hitpoint targets
Improved omni shield use vs phase ships
Fixed bug that was causing the AI to improperly evaluate where it has the most remaining armor
Ships gradually get more aggressive when their peak time and CR tick down
Modding
Fixed crash from left-clicking station in hyperspace
Error message due to incorrectly configured music set is now comprehensible
Ships with modules:
Modules are no longer configured using weapon groups
Added "modules" section to .variant files instead
Modules will be ordered in listed order provided "modules" is an array of objects
Station/ship-with-module weapons no longer rendered in separate pass above everything
Use module order to control rendering order instead
Variants, hulls, skins, skills, weapons, projectiles: will be merged with core files when loaded
Meaning, a mod can now provide a partial file with just the changes rather than a complete file
Renamed FleetDespawnListener to FleetEventListener
Added reportBattleOccurred() method to FleetEventListener
Fixed bug to do with beamFireOnlyOnFullCharge and venting while firing at max charge
Proximity fuse projectiles with a trigger range of 0 will now only explode at end of range
MutableStat values no longer capped to be >= 0
Added better error message when game crashes due to an invalid ship system id being specified
Added MissileAPI.interruptContrail() - needs to be called twice, once at old and once at new location
Added MarketAPI.get/setEconGroup()
Markets within the same econ group only trade with each other and are not visible when viewing nearby markets etc from a market in a different group. Default group is null (the value, not the string).
Added ShipAIPlugin.getConfig() method that returns a ShipAIConfig (or null if a custom ship AI doesn't support the core config parameters)
Added "tags" and "rarity" columns to ship_data.csv
Skins do NOT inherit tags from the parent ship, but can have their own tags specified via a "tags" json array
Default d-hulls also do not inherit any tags from the base hull
Added "tech/manufacturer" column to ship and weapon data
Defaults to "Common" if unspecified
"manufacturer" key to override in ship skin file
SectorEntityTokens and MarketAPIs stored in a MemoryAPI will be replaced by their ids in save files, and restored on load
For this and other reasons, code must gracefully handle a case where an entity is put into memory but then is no longer there or *is* there but is no longer in any LocationAPI
Removed dHullOverlaySmall/Large from hull_styles.json; replaced with single dHullOverlay, which should be large-ish and will tile to cover bigger hulls (instead of being upscaled)
hull_styles.json: now 3 d-mod overlays per style; light/medium/heavy, in only one size
d-mod overlays tile for larger ships
Moved get/setModuleVariant() methods from FleetMemberAPI to ShipVariantAPI
Weapon group generation:
Added "GROUP_LINKED" and "GROUP_ALTERNATION" AI hints to weapon_data; will attempt to place weapons with those in separate groups and set them to linked or alternating
Added groupTag column to weapon_data; when set, will heavily favor placing weapons with same groupTag into the same group, without other weapons in it
Will not auto-generate weapon groups for AI fleets until combat starts, for performance reasons
Fixed word-wrapping issue when a single word is too long for a line
Added limited support for drones with SHIP collision class; will no longer crash into mothership
Added "canUseWhileRightClickSystemOn" to ship system definitions
Missiles now support the "jitter" effect, above the missile sprite only
Changes to fleet despawn logic: listeners will now be notified before the fleet member list is cleared
Allows seeing fleet state at time of despawn if it wasn't snapshotted
Fleet members removed afterwards
Added CollisionGridAPI that gives access to internal bin-lattice used to speed up collision checks/AI
void addObject(Object object, Vector2f loc, float objWidth, float objHeight);
void removeObject(Object object, Vector2f loc, float objWidth, float objHeight);
Iterator<Object> getCheckIterator(Vector2f loc, float checkWidth, float checkHeight);
Added to CombatEngineAPI:
CollisionGridAPI getAllObjectGrid();
CollisionGridAPI getShipGrid();
CollisionGridAPI getMissileGrid();
CollisionGridAPI getAsteroidGrid();
Added to SettingsAPI:
String readTextFileFromCommon(String filename)
void writeTextFileToCommon(String filename, String data)
Load/save text data from the <installdir>/saves/common/ folder
Limited to 1MB per file, 50MB total files per session
Hull mods tagged with "no_drop_salvage" will not drop from campaign salvage operations
Different from "no_drop", which will only make them not drop from defeated ships in combat
Added alternate system for listening to campaign events, see: ListenerManagerAPI
Allows registering to listen for only one type of event
Not everything converted to use it, but will only use this system going forward
Added event-listening interfaces:
ShowLootListener
SurveyPlanetListener
EconomyTickListener
DiscoverEntityListener
Added IntelManagerAPI to manage player-visible pieces of information
See: Global.getSector().getIntelManager()
Replaces EventManager etc
CommMessageAPI, SectorAPI.reportEventStage, etc deprecated/removed
Game no longer loads/uses reports.csv
Missions are re-implemented as "IntelInfoPlugin" rather than a events
A few events that were essentially scripts (such as OfficerManagerEvent) remain for legacy reasons
MissionBoard and related APIs removed
All of these are now handled through IntelManager
Removed concept of "comm channels"; channels.json no longer loaded
Added CombatEntityAPI.getAI() method to get at proximity fuse AI from projectiles
Added ProximityFuseAIAPI, with an updateDamage() method, so changing damage via script can work on flak and similar
Added SettingsAPI.getMergedJSONForMod(String path, String masterMod)
Bugfixing:
Fixed issue with market/planet name mismatch for some procgen planets
Fixed issues w/ small dormant remnant fleets not engaging and sometimes dropping loot if harassed
Ship AI: fixed issue where 4+ carriers could get stuck in an escorting-each-other loop
Fixed bug that caused Fleet Logistics 1 to make destroyed ships only have a 50% chance of recovery rather than 100% as intended. Disabled ships still got the 100% chance.
Fixed issue with Plasma Cannon not being properly affected by Safety Overrides
Save bar no longer get stuck if saving the game throws an error for any reason
Fixed issue with scavenger fleets stuck in "returning to <market>" state
Fixed issue that was sometimes preventing carriers from properly obeying "Full Retreat" order
Fixed rendering issue with black holes on radar
Fixed issue with Strike Commander causing projectile weapons from fighters to hit multiple times
Fixed crash when a mission variant had a fighter wing from a mod installed and the mod was then disabled
Fixed visual issue with jump-point in Westernesse star system
Fixed issue with debris fields not despawning properly and causing savegame bloat (thanks, Tartiflette!)
Fixed issue where could select civilian/unarmed ships for pursuit autoresolve
Fixed issue where fighter chips would disappear from inventory when opening refit screen for a ship with that fighter built in
Fixed issue with fighters returning to a retreated carrier getting stuck off-map without retreating
Fixed station rendering issue in campaign where module placement wasn't quite right
Fixed bug that caused phasing mid-burst to improperly shorten some weapon cooldowns
The resolutionOverride config file setting now works with fullscreen mode
Fixed issue that cause a black hole to appear in the middle of the sector map in some games
Fixed bug that caused the player to have to wait for their allies to finish the battle after full-retreating from it
Fixed issue that caused REDACTED fleets to respawn extremely quickly in some situations

 Les brèves notes de mise à jour : Code:
Campaign Starting ships for the "faster start" options now have some fairly benign d-mods Goal is to introduce player to the idea that d-mods are "ok"And to make adding damaged ships to their fleet feel betterStarting Apogee does not have a d-modChanged effect of Alpha Cores on industries that aren't production-focused Spaceport/Megaport: +20% accessibilityGround Defenses/Heavy Batteries: ground defense strength x1.5REDACTED structure: relevant bonusREDACTED facility: relevant bonusCommerce: +1 stabilityPatrol HQ/Military Base: x1.25 fleet sizeOrbital Station: a high-level AI core "officer" is in command of the station in combatAdded very rare salvage "special" to find a blueprint to ship wrecksFaction-specific ships now available on the open market, with a reduced quality 2 to 3 more d-mods than average for that colonyPirate, Luddic Path, and REDACTED fleets are more likely to get increasingly aggressive than to retreat That is, when a regular fleet would retreat, they may ramp up the attack insteadSystem bounties: Some of the faction's patrols pull back to defend the main colony for the durationGives bounty hunters more room to operatePerson bounty: Removed level-based scalingAdded slight time-based scalingAllied fleets will no longer deploy very low CR ships in pursuit scenariosCommodity pricing and related: Deficit/excess is indicated by red/green commodity icons in the colony info screenResults in significantly higher/lower prices for number of units based on amount of deficit/excessDeficit/excess amount shown in the commodity tooltip's "list of best places to buy/sell"Ctrl-clicking will buy up all excess (to capacity) and sell to fill deficitImproved discoverability of habitable/low hazard worldsIncreased average size of pirate and Pather ships; still use smaller ships overallAdded "transponder off" warning and option to turn it on while jumping into a populated system Only warns if patrols in-system care about transponder statusWarns if turning the transponder on would make any factions immediately hostileToned down the effect of hyperstorm strikes on fleet movementAdjusted bounty fleet size progression to be more consistentAdjusted fleet spawning to tend towards larger ship sizes for larger fleets, even for a doctrine that prefers smaller ships in generalNew (extra difficult) starting option: "A spacer. A broken-down shuttle. A lifelong debt." Enable using "enableSpacerStart" in data/config/settings.jsonTurned "altMouseMoveToMassTransfer" control off by default (transfers large quantities of cargo quickly)Adjusted how stockpiling at player-owned colonies works A quantity of resources produced locally is added to the Local Resources submarket More if it's not being exported due to, say, low accessibilityTaking these results in an at-cost charge in that month's income/expense reportCan be taken "for free", but their base value is deducted from player's monthly incomeAdded a setting to let a colony use these to counter shortages Costs considerably less than taking the resources directlyResources can be brought to the colony and put in Local Resources manually Using or taking these does not result in any costLocal Resources submarket tooltip lists stockpile growth rate and limitsAdded Waystation industry back in Increases accessibility by 10%Low cost and upkeepMakes the colony stockpile fuel, supplies, and crew into Local Resources, even if it's not a producer of any of theseAlpha Core bonus: hugely increased stockpiling rate and limit for fuel/supplies/crewAdded Transplutonics to more salvage dropsImproved salvage variety from planetary ruinsSignificantly increased the upkeep cost of Refining, Heavy Industry, Light Industry, and Fuel Production Goal is to encourage building these on low-hazard worldsMade various "colony threat" intel items have a more prominent sound effectSpecial items such as blueprints will not be lost if cargo ships are lost while retreatingPirate bases will not launch random not-anti-player raids for the first year or soProcurement Contract mission: added button to show best prices and places to buy the commodityGreatly reduced the prices of high-cost ship weapons Example: Tachyon Lance, 25000 -> 8000Reduced build cost of orbital stations of all tiersReduced base price of Marines to 200 credits (was: 500)Debt (i.e. expenses not covered by credit balance) from last month carries over into next month Combat Changed minimum battleSize to 200 and default to 300 (was: 150 and 250)Enemy will prefer to deploy larger ships when attacking a stationOrbital Stations Targeting Supercomputer (built-in on all modules) now greatly reduces recoilReduced flux statsPlayer can now always deploy at least one ship into combat, regardless of its deployment point value Mostly comes into play when deploying alongside an allied station which can eat up most of the deployment pointsBackground planet, when a battle has an orbital station: Moved down if the player is defendingMoved up if the player is attackingGoal is to keep it from interfering with the combat too much, visually, and have it look like it's "in front" or "behind" the station, as appropriate Fighters When ordered to regroup, fighters will always be able to keep up with the carrier, regardless of their top speed otherwise Bombers returning to re-arm also receive this bonus Weapons Hammer torpedo: made engine glow bigger and slightly redder to distinguish better from Salamander Ships Paragon: Increased deployment and monthly maintenance cost to 60 (was: 50)Reduced crew required to 400 (was: 450)Onslaught: Increased crew required to 750 (was: 500)Increased maximum crew to 1500 (was 1250)Buffalo: reduced max burn to 8 (was 9) to bring in line with standard civilian burn levels at that size Hullmods Automated Repair Unit: Removed bonus to CR recovery and repair rateReduced OP costMilitarized Subsystems: Reduces both CR to deploy and supply cost by 30% instead of just reducing supply costEfficiency Overhaul: Instead of reducing CR cost to deploy, increases CR recovery and repair rate by 50%Degraded Engines: reduced penalty to 15% (was: 20%) Ship AI Ships ordered to "Eliminate" or "Full Assault" will be more aggressive when facing an orbital stationImproved use of Maneuvering Jets/Plasma Jets to back off while at high fluxEnsured that retreat orders are obeyed promptly"Escort" order will now take precedence over "Avoid"More liberal missile use when they're at full ammo and the ship is having difficultiesFurther reduced tendency to fire off missiles vs unshielded shipsFixed autofiring inaccuracy with dumbfire rockets/torpedoes when paired with missile speed bonuses Also affects autofiring weapons on player's ship Modding Fixed issue where all weapons could get disabled by critical malfunctions if ship had decorative weaponsFixed issue with DUAL weapon barrel mode that caused it to fire 12-23-34 instead of 12-34-12Added to SoundPlayerAPI:void pauseCustomMusic();

defaults to falseAdded ALWAYS_PANIC ship hint; makes ship always fire missile weapons as if panickingUsed by Pather version of Colossus Bugfixing: Fixed brief invulnerability window caused by phase ships uncloaking inside/too near an enemy shipFixed issue with allied forces not deploying ships in some circumstancesSmall asteroids from a ring system no longer prevent unphasingFixed bug where a re-built orbital station was no longer effective Changes as of October 20, 2018 Campaign Added portside bar to colonies And a number of possible bar events of varying importanceAdded REDACTED mission (starts in bar)Added raids, bombardments, and planetary defenses Can raid a colony for valuables, commodities, blueprints, and other itemsCan raid to disrupt operations of a specific industryMarines, specialized ships, and skills determine raid strength and outcomeRaids with transponder off do not cause instant hostilityCan bombard colonies using fuel; not very efficient Tactical bombardment to disrupt military operationsSaturation bombardment: an atrocity; causes multiple factions to go hostile Colonies of size 4 and below are destroyed outrightLarger colonies lose a lot of stability and are likely to decivilize after some timeColonies can build up various layers of defensesNearby fleets prevent raids and bombardmentsOrbital stations prevent bombardments but not raidsGround defenses make raids more difficult and bombardments more expensiveCan run salvaging operations on colonies with ruins Must be surveyed first (for the ruins to be identified)Outcome depends on scale of ruins on the planetColonies that have low stability for too long have a chance to become decivilizedCan view colony info and interact with core UI when docked with a hostile colony that does not give docking clearanceAdded monthly salary for marinesAdded REDACTED (to do with population growth)Officer level-up dialog keeps going while there are skill choices to make, unless "not now" is selected Added shortcut key for "level up" button in dialogOrbiting fleets will no longer use Active Sensor Burst Goal is to reduce randomness involved in successfully sneaking into a colonyAdded periodic warning message when fleet is over capacity in cargo/fuel/crewAdded a recoverable Dram tanker to the ships around TetraChanged "Hand Weapons" commodity to "Heavy Armaments"; now covers things like heavy weapons, tanks, mechs, hovercraft, etcAdded pirate bases and raidsAdded Luddic Path cellsAdded Hegemony inspectionAdded punitive expeditionsAdded Synchrotron Core; can be installed in Fuel Production industry to drastically increase outputAdded blueprint and special item drops to various salvageImplemented Tech-Mining industry Chance to find blueprints, modspecs and other rare items, based on the size of ruins being minedGenerates some basic commodities (fuel, supplies, metals, machinery); delivered to gathering pointOutput goes down over timeUpdated various tooltips (added "design type" information - low tech, midline, etc where appropriate; made other improvements) Cargo/commoditiesShip weaponsShipsHull modsVarious blueprintsA colony sold a Synchrotron Core or a Nanoforge will use them if able toTooltip for fleet points bar in ship deployment dialog now includes battle size and how many points the enemy hasJump-point dialog now includes a warning if there are nearby fleets on the other side Includes warning and plays a sound if the nearby fleets are hostileNew game start: Added easier options that start you off with multi-ship fleets - a "salvage expedition" and a "mercenary force"Added 3-year-long monthly stipend from the Galatian Academy from the tutorial mission Also given when tutorial is skippedSustained Burn: Now gives +100% burn instead of +10 Means that bonuses to ship burn level (i.e. Augmented Drive Field) are doubledWhile fleetwide bonuses (tugs, Nav Buoy, etc) are notSlightly increased arc in which it has the highest acceleration penaltyReduced charge up/down time to half a second (was: 2.5 seconds up, 1 second down)Goals are to )1 make burn level of ships mean more and 2) encourage turning SB off sometimesEmergency Burn: Reduced supply cost by half (was: 50% of total deployment cost of fleet, now 25%)Burn bonus increased to +8 (was: +5)Navigation: level 3 now gives +1 to maximum burn and an additional +1 when Sustained Burn is onKnown hullmods no longer drop or show up for saleBuying up hullmods will NOT increase the odds of remaining ones showing upFleet Logistics: maintenance reduction reduced to 25% (was: 30%)Derelict ships in campaign will now show ship type in the tooltip, i.e. "Derelict Ship (Dram-class Light Tanker)"Salvaging mechanics: "Salvage rating" no longer a player-facing stat; still affects crew/machinery needed Removed "blow it up" option as it's no longer relevantSalvaging skill provides up to a 50% bonus to finding resources and rare itemsRecovery of resources is affected by: Having enough crew (multiplier, 0 to 1)Having enough heavy machinery (+0 to +100%)Salvaging skill (up to +50%)Salvage Rigs / other ships with salvaging capacity; diminishing returns for more ships Ships must be at at least 10% combat readiness for bonus to applyA fraction of the total bonus also applies to post-combat salvageRecovery of rare items is only affected by the Salvaging skill Not affected by not having enough crew, machinery, or any other modifiersGoals are: Clean up the flow by removing the "blow up then scavenge" optionAllow player to specialize in getting a lot more value out of itEnsure that salvaging something will not feel like a wasted opportunity due to missing out on likely-otherwise-inaccessible items such as blueprintsGive Salvaging skill long-term value - it grants access to 50% more stuff that would otherwise be hard or impossible to getMake salvaging without the skill but with Salvage Rigs a viable option, both in terms of rare items and resources gainedWhen exploring a ship wreck, added notification when there's cargo on boardWhen the player's net monthly income is negative and they run out of credits: Credits set to 0Custom production of ships and weapons is haltedWhen this goes on for two months or more, some crew may leave next time the player's fleet comes into portCan be countered by shutting down industries on owned colonies - reduces expenses and gives back most of the credits used to establish the industryMonthly salary for unassigned colony administrators reduced to 10% of baseReduced strength of scavenger fleetsSome of the pirate fleets that show up in pirate activity/bounty systems will congregate near jump-points and pirate colonies, making them easier to findTransponder-off trade: No longer has any impact on reputation or, for black market trade, suspicion level(Previously: had a smaller-than-normal effect; goal is a more clear distinction)Increased maximum player level to 50 for the moment; pending another look at skillsAdded lists of best places to buy/sell to commodity tooltipAdded common "delivery" mission Encountered in dockside barsTake and deliver X amount of commodity to another colonyMedium reward; usually takes player to semi-dangerous systems (i.e. pirate activity etc)Volume of commodities and reward depends on player's fleetDifferent version when offered at player-owned colonyPlanet tooltip: now shows survey level for uninhabited and faction name for inhabitedDuring salvage, when finding information about the location of another entity of interest nearby: Will no longer point to small derelict ships, only cruisers and largerThis also means that more of these will point to other, larger structures (Since no longer diluting the pool of potential targets with larger number of chaff)Course widget: made data font biggerAdded new carrier-specific d-mods: Malfunctioning Comms - reduces fighter engagement rangeDefective Manufactory - reduces fighter speed and increases fighter damage taken Affected fighters have a "damaged" visual overlayChanged cargo tabs to "All" "Resources" "Ship weapons" and "Other" (i.e combined "Commodities" and "Crew")Increased number of crew recovered from "cryopods with crew" exploration specialChanged hazard rating to be based around 100% base instead of 0% base, since that's how it's usedReduced production of commodities by Heavy Industry; high production levels now require special items or a very large colonyAdded notification message when industry construction completes; can click to open colony screenAdded notification for when colony size increases; can click to open colony screenChanged intel UI tags to be OR instead of ANDRemoved Surveying skill; can now survey planets with any hazard rating Increased cost by a flat +10 suppliesSignificantly reduced the value of survey data (30k for Class V; was: 100k)Revamped and simplified economy: Colonies have a single accessibility value which determines how much they can import and export Accessibility also affects colony growthCombined demand for a commodity generates a total "market value"Export income is determined by a colony's "market share", which is based on production and accessibilityWhen interacting with fleet that has a low reputation impact and fighting which won't cause instant hostilities: added text to that effectShips recovered after combat will retain known hullmodsWeapons and fighters on your ships have a 100% chance to be recovered if the ship is recoverableRecovery Operations: Removed bonus to own fighter/weapon recoveryIncreased recovery bonus for enemy ships/weapons/fighters to 25% (was: 15%)Can "abandon" a size-3 colony; requires paying for (significant) evacuation expensesCan "stabilize" a colony that's suffering from Recent Unrest Maximum equal to Recent Unrest minus one Can not be used to increase stability of a colony not suffering from unrestCost based on amount stabilized and colony sizeExpensive - generally not worth it purely to improve colony income through higher stability Primarily a means to stave off the decivilization of a bombarded/raided colony Terrain Hyperspace storms: Fixed tooltipRemoved sensor profile penalty and speed penaltyChanged CR drain effect to powerful "storm strikes" hitting random ships A strike reduces CR and deals armor/hull damage, but can't destroy a shipLarger fleets attract more powerful strikesSome strikes will not deal any damage - at most 1 every 5 seconds (on average) willEach strike gives the fleet a speed boost in a direction determined by the fleet's position relative to the storm cell and its speedSpeed beyond burn level 20 does not cost extra fuelWhile speed-boosted, the fleet may briefly lose steering control Emergency Burn allows control while boostedStrikes are synced up with the "cloud lightning" visual/audio effectsEntering an active hyper cell will cause a flurry of storm strikes - i.e, the timing is predictableOverall: Potential for more severe damage to individual shipsMuch less expensive in total, and lower per-day costs since not all ships are affectedSituationally useful for faster travelDeep hyperspace: Now slows down larger fleets more than small onesNebula: Now slows down larger fleets more than small onesRemoved in-combat effect on ship speedAsteroid belts/fields: Do not slow down fleets directlyChance of "asteroid impacts" on the drive field, briefly knocking the fleet off course Heavier impacts on larger fleetsNavigation skill helps mitigate impactsMagnetic field: Now reduces the range at which a fleet within can be detected by 75%When in magnetic storm, range is reduced by 100%, and the sensors of the fleet have their range reduced by 90%Goal: useful for sneaking around and hiding inIn general: terrain that slows down fleets is where smaller fleets can run to get away from larger fleets Ships Tempest: Increased maintenance/deployment cost to 8Replaced Active Flare Launcher with High Energy FocusTerminator Drone: Changed wing size to 2Reduced replacement time to 10 secondsReduced top speed; engines can no longer flame outChanged type to "support" with 0 roam rangeAdded "Terminator Core" hullmod Increases damage to missiles and fighters 2xGives perfect target leadingIncreases beam rangePD weapons ignore flaresNow armed with a PD Laser and IR Pulse LaserOverall: Excellent anti-fighter and point-defenseLimited usefulness as anti-ship support due to no roam and low weapon rangeColossus, all 3 versions: significantly cheaper to buyColossus Mk2, Mk3: Added Civilian-grade Hull (not a nerf)Prometheus: Reduced fuel capacity to 2500Changed ship system to Flare LauncherApogee: Reduced fuel/ly to 2Increased fuel capacity to 200 and cargo capacity to 400Changed arc of large front hardpoint to 10 degrees (was: 5)Changed coverage of medium turrets to not cover front and overlap in the backReduced deployment and supplies/month costs to 18 (was: 25)Mule: increased OP to 80, changed medium turret type to composite, increased max speed to 60Enforcer: fixed weapon locations that were not positioned quite right on the spriteHound, Cerberus: increased OP by 5Adjusted OP for most civilian ships, generally slight to moderate increasesOdyssey: Removed front overlap of 3 large turretsImproved arcs of two rear-facing small turretsChanged right-side large turret type to "synergy"Added built-in High Resolution SensorsAdded built-in ECCM PackageReduced fuel/light-year to 8 (was: 10)Increased OP by 10Reduced top speed to 70 (was 80)Ship system changed to "Plasma Burn" Very brief, very fast burn;

Bugfixing New colonies will properly spawn with orbital junk and radio chatterFixed bug that caused tooltips for overlapping weapons in the refit screen to not be cleaned upFixed issue that prevented the "Claim Victory" option from showing up when the enemy has fighters Changes as of June 01, 2018 Campaign Colony building: Player can establish a colony on a planet they've surveyedRequires crew, machinery, and suppliesCan change the planet's name, either when colony is established or at any point later onCan build "Industries" and "Structures" (same thing, mechanically) at a colonySome example ones: MiningFarmingSpaceportHeavy IndustryOrbital stations (of several varieties)Military BaseTech-Mining... and a number of other onesSome industries can be upgraded, i.e. "Patrol HQ" -> "Military Base", or "Heavy Industry" -> "Orbital Works"Most industries are known from the start, but a few more exotic ones can be learnedCan set a "stockpiling level" for a colony to have it build up extra resources the player can take Stockpiling costs credits, but somewhat less than the base cost of the commoditiesStockpiles will be used to counter temporary shortagesPlayer colonies have a "local resources" submarket where they can take from, or add to, stockpiles. There's a "storage" submarket for resources that must remain untouched.Player colonies do *not* have an Open Market unless there's a "Commerce" industryColonies start at size 3; population growth depends on many factors and can be directly invested intoCan assign AI cores to manage industries for various, significant benefitsA Military Base produces patrols which will defend the colonyCan hire Administrators (up to a limit) to manage your coloniesCan learn skills that improve the colonies under your control Maximum number under personal control is soft-limited - reduced stability for going beyondCan assign Alpha Cores to manage your colonies, for a massive benefitEstablishing the first colony also creates a new player faction Can set the faction name and select a flagCan adjust both at any point in the futureBlueprints for ship hulls, weapons, and fighter LPCs: Required by Heavy Industry to build ships Ship production "quality" is based on many factors and affects the number of d-mods a produced hull will haveCan be improved by certain items found during explorationSome basic blueprints always known from the start, rest have to be acquiredBlueprints can be prioritized to get the desired fleet composition and weapon/fighter useAffect fleet production by player coloniesPlayer can custom-order known ships and weapons Will be built based on the monthly production capacity of their heavy industryAnd delivered to a designated gathering point, along with some crew, fuel, and suppliesNew economy system to support colony mechanics Player buying/selling has direct impact on market's available commodity numbersPlayer colonies can become suppliers for other factions and generate export income for the player Relative "accessibility" of colonies determines who the best supplier isPlayer has several tools to manage this, from establishing waystations to piracyOfficers found in sleeper pods can now be up to level 15 instead of 5Administrators can now be found in sleeper pods; likeliest place to find high-skilled ones Can now go over the maximum number of officers and administrators Can't use the ones over maximumCan't hire to go over maximumMainly useful to be able to find officers/admins in sleeper pods, while already at maximumFactions Factions have access to ships/weapons/fighters based on their blueprintsAI ship loadouts are dynamically generated, based on what's availableFactions have been adjusted so that their available blueprints and doctrine make each more distinct Examples:The Hegemony favors larger ships and high-quality officersThe Luddic Church, while also mostly drawing from low-tech designs: Favors larger numbers of ships with lower-quality officersMakes extensive use of Converted HangarsHas access to a faction-specific "Perdition"-class torpedo bomberFaction doctrine: settings that affect faction fleet composition and ship behavior Each setting can go from 1 to 5Warships - proportion of regular combat ships found in fleets, on averageCarriers - proportion of carriersPhase Ships - proportion of phase shipsWarships, Carriers, and Phase Ships must add up to 7 pointsOfficer Quality, Ship Quality, and More Ships - must also add up to 7 pointsShip Size - independent setting, determines average size of ships preferredAggression - determines personality of officers; does not affect the player's own fleet Also applies to combat personality/behavior of ships without officers, both for the player and for other factionsThis aspect *does* affect the player's own fleetEach faction now has an appropriate doctrine settingMonthly income and expenses: Outposts/colonies Base income from a populationUpkeep for each industry; based on hazard rating of planet A lower-hazard planet can support more industries on the "base income"; exact numbers still TBDCan go above that for a negative incomeExports: income for becoming the best provider of a commodity to another faction's colony Incurs "overhead" when there are many exports from the same colony*Always* better to have more exports, but the added benefit drops off quicklyStorage - 1% of base value of stored ships/cargoCrew, officer, and administrator salariesPresented in a detailed monthly reportNew tab: "Command", shortcut "D". Allows player to: Manage coloniesCan also see which markets you have storage at and what's stored whereView latest income reportManage the doctrine and blueprint prioritiesMake custom production ordersCargo screen Can quick-transfer (or sell) a lot of cargo by holding down Alt then mousing over the stacks Can be turned off via settings.jsonImproved quantity selection slider for picking up part of a stackSupplies/fuel/crew/marines/heavy machinery now shown first in sorted cargo;

smaller reputation penalty if in person Restores standing with factions that became hostile as a result of holding the commissionFaction hostilities: fixed various issues re: hostilities properly ending and total number/frequency Last for at least 6 months, and rarely more than a full cycleHostilities between Hegemony-TriTachyon and other starting hostilities between major factions (i.e. not pirates/pathers) are no longer permanentSmugglers now have a low reputation impact if attacked, i.e. won't turn entire faction instantly hostileChance to have advance intel about departures of trade fleets/smugglers, including timeframe and cargoChanged options for colony interaction Can open all core UI tabs with corresponding shortcut instead of just a subsetAdded "visit dockside bar" option; details are WIPAdded "Consider your military options" option; sub-menu allows player to attack orbital station Will also contain a few TBD mechanics re: planet-based military actionsDropping cargo pods may now distract pirate fleets;
