Option to disable friendly fire, adjust the color of lasers, and more!
Version 0.5550920376

If "None" is set, collisions are disabled between player bullets/beams/etc and player ships - unless the bullets/beams/etc provides useful buffs to other players. 🎯 [UI] Descriptions have been added for all friendly fire options. 🎯 [UI] You can now change the color of the laser sight. This option is located in the user interface section of the main menu options. 🎯 [UI] The "Loot filter" has been renamed "Item filter" 🎯 [UI] The modals in the storage (edit tab label and filters) can now be disabled through the escape/back key. 🎯 [Item filter] Item modifications can now be filtered using the regex text inputs in the character sheet and storage tabs (filter all mods by writing 'mod:'). 🎯 [Storage] You can now move all items from all inventory slots to the storage with a single click (X/RMB instead of A/LMB). 🎯 [Shop] You can now sell all items in all inventory slots (X/RMB instead of A/LMB). 🎯 [Dedicated server] There is now an option to change friendly fire in the dedicated server. 🎯 [Balance] The player previously had a base buff to velocity of 100.

Enemy highlighting and an additional control option
Version 0.5550920375
🎯 [Controls] It is now possible to lock the crosshair in front of the ship when using mouse + keyboard. This setting is called "Mouse aim" and located in the control scheme section of the main menu. 🎯 [User interface] It is now possible to enable highlighting (either red or white) to all enemies. This setting is available in the User interface section of the main menu options. 🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue that caused player damage bonuses to get capped at 80%. 🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue with the distress call event which could cause enemies to spawn infinitely. 🎯 [Bug fix] If the chat input was bound to a different key that is valid as a chat input (e.g., "a" or "/"), it would previously add that key to the chat message whenever it was sent. This is now fixed.
Imperius and Vagrantis skill updates, and a reworked Act 3 completion cutscene!
Version 0.5550920374
🎯 [Balance] The Vagrantis skill "Omnipotent Fortitude" has been revised and now also affect on-board ship turrets. 🎯 [Balance] The Imperius skill "Warp Plasma Damage Amplifier" has been revised and now increases % damage instead of fixed values. Damage is increased by X% per point of max hull divided by the diameter of the used ship. This also applies to on-board ship turrets. 🎯 [Misc] The cutscene after Act 3 has been completed has been fully reworked. 🎯 [Bug fix] The dedicated server could previously, given certain conditions, trigger a save of the storage and achievements. If run from the same folder as the Nienix executable, it could cause an overwrite of the storage/achievement data. Note: If this has happened to anyone, you can recover the correct storage/achievements from the Backup save game folder. 🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue related to ghost loot.
Founders skill updates and stackable sensors!

Crit damage is increased by Y%. This also applies to on-board turrets. 🎯 [Skill] The Founders skill "Stabilized Molten Metals" has been revised.

This should alleviate network issues for machines that cannot handle an MTU of 1500. 🎯 [Balance] The Founders skill "Mortal Strike" and "Lucky strike", and the Axiom skill "Aim Mastery" now also apply to on-board turrets. 🎯 [Balance] The Founders skill "Lucky Strike" now provides 3% bonus crit per level (down from 5%). 🎯 [Balance] The Founders skill "Sensor Amplifier" has been updated: Sensor range is extended by the range of a Standard Sensor equal to player level.

New weapon mods and balance adjustments
Version 0.5550920370
🎯 [New Weapon mod] Glass Cannon Edition: Increased attack speed at the cost of reduced resist all. 🎯 [New Weapon mod] Bruiser Edition: Increased damage and aura effectiveness at the cost of reduced attack speed. 🎯 [Balance] The two new weapon mods described above can roll for all auxiliary weapon types. 🎯 [Balance] The warp plasma requirement of follow-type auras on auxiliary items has been increased by 20%. 🎯 [Balance] The Axiom skill "Heavy Plating" now provides a diminishing return past 360% (600 metres). 🎯 [Balance] The likelihood of stun provided by the weapon mod "Stun Edition" is now based on weapon attack speed and its number of bullets per shot. 🎯 [Balance] The Xinthu skill "Slow But Deadly" (5:4) now provides 10% decreased attack speed and 15% increased damage per level. 🎯 [Balance] Hull repair provided by weapons is now affected by item grade (a higher grade/rarity means a stronger hull repair). 🎯 [Balance] The Corrosive Bomb weapon is now allowed on ship turrets. 🎯 [Balance] All auxiliary-type weapons are now allowed on ship turrets. 🎯 [Balance] Weapons that provide hull repair on collision can now heal self given that they have sufficient explosion radius. This means that most Xinthu-type weapons, given that their bullet explode, now repair self. Previously, weapons would only repair self if they created hull repair auras on termination. 🎯 [Bug fix] Doors now correctly requires defeating the boss enemies to be opened in one of the open-world type Continuum Events. 🎯 [Bug fix] Missing walls have been added to the third level of the "Abandoned C-Class Freighter" event.
