Beta 29.8 is now available. While we are working on the Lost Colony, we wanted to take some time and make a smaller content update for the game. This update adds what we think is a fun secret as well as a nice handful of new processors, some of which allow you to teleport to other crew members! We think these new processors will add a nice level of convenience for some crews if they are willing to use up a processor slot.
Additions
New Data Fragment: ███████████████
Added ███████████████
New Processor: Second Wind - This processor activates when the ship would have taken a killing blow from an enemy. Instead the processor is destroyed and it restores hull to 15% integrity.
New Processor: Scrapper Processor - This processor generates a new processed scrap for each warp to an unvisited sector
New Processor: Combo Processor - Adds a bonus to both Cyberdefense and to Jump Computation Speed
New Processor: PWR-48 - Increases Reactor Output by 5% and adds 1 to the max level limit of Ship Component Upgrades
New Processor: SHD-28 - Increases max shield integrity by 5% and adds 1 to the max level limit of Item Upgrades
New Processor: QCK-90 - Increases ship startup speed and adds 1 to the max level limit of Ship Component Upgrades
New Processor: Teleport to: Captain - Enables teleportation to the Captain
New Processor: Teleport to: Engineer - Enables teleportation to the Engineer
New Processor: Teleport to: Pilot - Enables teleportation to the Pilot
New Processor: Teleport to: Scientist - Enables teleportation to the Scientist
New Processor: Teleport to: Weapon’s Specialist - Enables teleportation to the Weapons Specialist
New topics have been added to the Academy, discussing some newer changes to the game (enemy distress signals, enemy warping, pulse laser for the main turret)
The teleporter screen will now illuminate new options if some of the new processors are installed
Added a Force Respawn option to the Z-menu, this should help players get back to the ship quickly or if they find themselves stuck somewhere.
Changes
Tweaked the difficulty of the scrap processing mini-game, it’s a little more forgiving
Shields now charge 10x faster while in warp
AI can understand the new Processors as new teleportation targets and consider them when making decisions about where to teleport to.

Beta 29.3 Release Notes
Hey everyone!
Beta 29.3 is now available. It introduces new systems designed to allow customization of your gameplay experiences.
From now on, when starting or loading a game you’ll be able to choose settings for the galaxy. Hosts can change properties for faction spread, difficulty, sector types, number of sectors, chaos increases, and more.
These settings will determine the type of galaxy: Standard, Expert or Custom.
Standard Galaxies are the classic settings that have been used up to now.
Expert Galaxies are a more challenging version of the Standard Galaxy, designed for experienced crews. It increases enemy ship power, chaos spread and other settings.
Custom Galaxies are those that don’t match either of the two above configurations.
Certain settings cannot be changed after the initial galaxy setup, but many can be changed when loading a game (including current saves).
We’re interested to hear your feedback about this new system, especially about features like Expert mode. We're considering having an achievement related to Expert mode in the future, but we wanted to make sure it was an appropriate challenge.

Beta 29 Release Notes
[previewyoutube="R0cSXKUHLqk;full"]
Hey everyone!
Beta 29 is out now! This might be one of the biggest updates we’ve done yet! This update focuses on a few big additions as well as several balance passes and quality of life features.
Lost Colony Data Fragments have been added to the game. These are required to get to the Lost Colony and can be gained through numerous ways. While the Lost Colony isn’t in the game yet, data fragments are the last feature we needed to add in order to introduce the Lost Colony content in an upcoming update. Many of the fragments grant passive effects to your ship, which we think add a nice bonus to acquiring them.
Two new places to acquire Lost Colony data fragments are the Auction found on the Spiderbarge in the Burrow, and the Highrollers Station which will contact crews and invite them to play Liar’s Dice at an exclusive station.
In order to add more variety to space combat, sectors now have a chance of including a “beacon”. These beacons create sector-wide modifiers to ship systems, and can either help or harm your ship. Some of the effects include thrust boosting, damage increases, armor increases and many others. Keep in mind that other ships also have these bonuses, and it’s possible to target and destroy these beacons if necessary (with no rep loss to do so).
This update also includes some big changes to Crew AI. AI can now charge programs, patrol sectors, and even launch nuclear devices! These effects don’t just apply to your crew, but enemy crews as well. The default AI priorities and behaviors have been greatly improved and updated. A few new additions include the Pibot being able to fly into Long Range Warp Stations, and the Engbot automatically lowering the shields when the Pibot enters a repair depot.
With the changes to crew AI, this means that enemy ships can launch nukes if they own them and are desperate enough. In order to help you manage this, the Scientist can now see if there is a nuke on board their ship through the sensor screen, and the Weapons Specialist now has a pulse laser affixed to many of the main turrets. This pulse laser can fire rapidly, allowing them to deal pinpoint damage to nukes and missiles.
We’ve also worked on new sector types including asteroid fields and faction battles. Faction battles are in-progress fights between a small number of ships and/or drones that can be approached in many different ways. Asteroid fields are cluttered with asteroids of various sizes requiring pilots to pay close attention to their surroundings to defeat enemy ships. Asteroids across the galaxy have also been updated with a new sharper look.
Ship combat has been tweaked to look and feel more impactful with new effects like hull debris flying off the ship and sparks flying on the bridge. Enemy ships are now more capable in ship combat, they are now able to warp out of difficult fights and call for backup with a distress signal. Ships can now also warp-in to provide backup to an enemy during a fight including both drones and powerful crewed ships!

Fragment - 15% tracker missile refill each jump - New Fragment: Racing Fragment - 30% thrust increase - New Fragment: Sector Commander Fragment - 5% hull repair each jump - New Fragment: Sylvassi Fragment - 2 additional program slots - Faction Battles: New sector types at the frontlines of competing factions - Enemy ships have functional distress signals and can receive backup - Some enemy ships can now warp out - Most mega turrets now have a fast-firing pulse laser - New Ship HUD Elements for distress signals, warp drive charging, and ship system damage. - Sparks can fly from lights in the ship when taking damage or while at low hull - Hull damage can cause some hull bits to fly off into space - Ships emit some smoke and sparks occasionally when hull is low - Lifeform Scan - Radiation Alarm - New Processor - Overcharge Processor - Creates overcharge based on incoming energy damage - Added more dialog to hailing crewed ships; some options include hints for finding Lost Colony data fragments - New UI Element: a colored line appears above the ship info HUD in the upper right corner of the screen, If this line is there, then the ship’s Quantum Shields are online and boarding is prevented.
AI - Crew AI Priority menus have been tweaked. The Top priorities section now includes the current top behaviors from both Main and Class specific priorities, this should hopefully give a better idea about what priorities are currently important to that particular crew AI. - New crew AI ability: Manual Program Recharge - New crew AI ability: Launch Nuclear Device - New pilot AI ability: Use Warp Station - New pilot AI ability: Patrol - Fly to random points in the sector - New engineer AI ability: Lower Shields - New engineer AI ability: Shutdown Ship - New engineer AI ability: Eject Reactor Core - New engineer AI ability: Overclock - New scientist AI ability: Sensor Sweep - Scientist AI ability fixed: Search for Ships - New AI priority override: Healing item is equipped - New AI priority override: Healable crewmate is nearby - New AI priority override: Fuel capsules on ship is > X - New AI priority override: Unfilled program charges on ship is > X - New AI priority override: Current ship has a nuclear device installed - New AI priority override: Active Long Range Warp Station in sector - New AI priority override: Target ship's combat level > X% of ours - New AI priority override: Captain is sitting in the Captain's Chair - New AI priority override: Reactor stability is > X% - New AI priority override: Ship has been out of warp > X seconds - New AI priority override: Ship has been in warp > X seconds - New AI priority override: Target ship's warp drive is > X% charged - New AI priority override: Target ship's distress signal is active - New AI priority override: Nuke path is clear - New AI priority override: Ship is inside a repair depot - New AI priority override: Captain is onboard a ship - New AI priority override: Target ship's hull > X% of ours - New AI priority override: Last time doing this priority > X sec ago - New AI priority override: Target ship's armor > X% of ours - New AI priority override: Target ship's shields > X% of ours - New AI priority override: Time since manual program recharge > X sec - New AI priority override: Reactor is currently overclocked - New AI priority override: Reactor core safety is enabled - New AI priority override: Target ship can currently be detected - New AI priority override: Quantum shields are online - New AI priority override: Overcharge > X% - New AI priority override: Reactor core is in meltdown - New AI priority override: Ship does have a Reactor equipped - New AI priority override: Reactor core was recently ejected - Crew AI will stay in place longer when responding to Close To Captain order - Scibot is a bit smarter about running programs - Engbot is smarter about leaving their station, they will reduce usage and coolant flow so the ship is less likely to overheat or waste coolant while they are away. - Engbot can now use the Aux Reactor. A priority of (1) will signify that. - Custom Events menu has been improved to be more space efficient (tabs) -The Custom Event “Repair Depot Nearby” is now a sector-wide check instead of distance based - AI will now generally move slower, and also ramp up speed when starting to move from a standing position
Changes - UI - Tab menu now has a spot to display any currently held Lost Colony data fragments and their descriptions / effects. - UI - Tab menu has been tweaked and the crew reputation section has been slightly reworked. - Starmap now starts with fewer sectors (around 1700).
