Just a quick addition here brings a v1038. A Restaurant has been added which not only can give positive morale tokens but also food & water tokens. If food or service is bad, a negative morale token will be received. Like Theaters, these restaurants can be found in stations and outposts.
Ship Upgrades DLC out now!
The second DLC has arrived! Checkout the store page for full details and features. Also I will be doing a new let's play video which will not only show gameplay but also content from both dlc in action! I will also be explaining things in the game as I go along. Last an update for the main game is in the works as well but no details on that yet. Cheers!
Ship Upgrades DLC store page is now live!
Full features and release info are listed on there. This one is certainly a game changer and really makes things more interesting with more powerful weapons and game features. Check it out!
Hotifx update v1034
Avalon_v1034
- Title screen no longer shows DLC not installed.
- When a player kills any npc's on a station or outpost, the wanted level goes up by +1 for whatever faction owns the sector for each npc killed. Same goes for killing npc's while onboard an AI ship. Killing security droids will cause wanted level to go up by +2 for each one killed.
- AI ships can now give out 25% off shipyard coupons on ship modules and upgrades.
- Fighter groups can now provide support by giving items such as gc, docking passes, docking permits, and sector maps!
- Fixed broken morale tokens that leaked in from ship upgrades dlc.

That's it for now. Next announcement will most likely be regarding the Ship Upgrades DLC so stick around. Cheers!

Update v1028 is now live!
Hi everyone the new update is here! This one kept me really busy and ended up fairly large but it turned out to be a solid update. It focuses mainly on ship upgrades and also a redesigned planetary facility screen. A lot of important things have finally made its way into the game. Ocean Worlds gets a little bit of love here too. Details below...
AVALON v1028
- Fixed issue where the chance of a module or upgrade getting destroyed when the ship takes a hit did not work.
- Fixed issue where selling engineers in the academy would sell high officers.
- Redesigned planetary facility status screen and added help text popups.
- Added text description popups to every module in the shipyard.
- Added new ship module, a deep space radar. These not only look cool but also have a 1 out of 12 chance of generating a sector map every 30 to 90 seconds while in a space sector.
- Added new ship upgrade: Improved Comm Systems I, II, III.
- Added new ship upgrade: Reinforced Quarters, I, II, and III.
- Added two new laser turrets: Heavy Laser Turret I, Heavy Laser Turret II.

OCEAN WORLDS DLC
- Added 7 new fish species.

Ok this concludes this update. More cool things are coming as the game continues to expand and improve with each and every update. I will post info on what is coming with the next update. Also I want to mention, yes another DLC is planned but I don't have much detail on that yet so keep an eye here. Cheers and have fun!
Preview of upcoming update
Avalon v1027
- Fixed issue where selling engineers in the academy would sell high officers.
- Redesigned planetary facility status screen and added help text popups.
- Added text description popups to every module in the shipyard.
- Added new ship module, a deep space radar. These not only look cool but also have a 1 out of 12 chance of generating a sector map every 30 to 90 seconds while in a space sector.
- Added new ship upgrades Adv. Comm Systems I, II, III. These decrease the chance of getting a no response on comm link from ships.
- Added new Heavy Laser Turret I and II. These are extremely expensive but powerful heavy laser cannons with long range.
Ocean Worlds
- Added 7 new fish species.
- Added a new extremely valuable item, a Sea God Statue!
- Added new sunken ship type.
Ok this is it for now. It is very possible more will be added to this before the update goes live. I don't have an eta yet so let's just keep it as a "coming soon". If I had to guess now I would say within the next two weeks if all goes well. Cheers!
Edited: 03/30/18
Pssst...another update is here!
Avalon v1026
- Added two additional ship systems, com system and launch bay. If com system fails you cannot open com link to other ships or stations. If the launch bay fails, you guessed it, you cannot launch probes to scan a planet nor can you launch shuttles. So keep those systems operational!
- There's now a chance that a ship system can be damaged and fail from taking hits by enemy lasers. The more powerful the laser that hits the more of a chance of a system failing.
- Ship system indicator lights have been reorganized into two rows of 5.
- Indicator lights no longer disappear if you start repair and exit ship systems screen. Instead the system under repair is indicated by a yellow light,
- Ship systems that are functioning OK are now listed in green. If they have failed it will be listed in red.
- Fixed misaligned text in avalonpedia for Ocean Worlds DLC.
- Avalonpedia ship system section has been updated. All new features are explained.
- Added new voice sounds for ship systems.
Ok this is it for now I will post a preview or details on the next updates as always. Or as what happened here, an update may just spring out without a preview! So until next time cheers and have fun!
