Rings of Saturn

• Fixed number of glitches in the physics engine, which caused cargo baffles to move erratically at times and cause ships to spin from unseen forces.
  
• Microwave effect re-balance: microwaves will shut down your computer, but won’t drain your ultracapacitor anymore. You will lose autopilot control, but should be able to maneuver manually.
  
• Adjusted cargo bay baffles on all the ships so they are more functional.
  
• Added some missing translations in the Dealer menu when examining unusual ships.
  
• Performance improvements when spawning ships.
  
• Number of gamepad control improvements. You can now target guiding recon drone with gamepad and Enceladus menus are much easier to navigate.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the tuning menu for left and right low-stress hardpoints of Elon Interstellar Model E to be inaccessible.
  
• Eagle Prospector retrofitted with twin Z-Axial-Pinch fusion drives will have them mounted outside the hull to prevent them from melting each-other.

Maintenance Records

• 5 more story encounters.
  
• Additional crew interactions.

• Pirates won’t expose their transponders when you are talking to them anymore.
  
• Derelicts are more rare now, but you can interact with them more often.
  
• Fixed a display glitch that caused your ship to display different values depending on how you looked at it.

• Fine-tuned physics settings to avoid cargo clipping through ship hulls.
  
• You can disable adrenaline boosters now in the OMS menu.

• Salvage Manipulator update menu simulation is now zoomed in.
  
• Typo fixes.
  

• Additional dialogue for habitats.
  
• Improved collision detection for Cothon 212.
  
• Fixed thread-related bug that caused Dealer to crash frequently on some systems.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused prices of the ships to shift sometimes for no apparent reason.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused an empty entry to be displayed in the Dealer menu.
  
• Fixed an exploit that would allow you to sell a ship for another ship's price if you clicked quickly enough.
  
• If you buy a ship, damage it and manage to sell it back in a day, it won’t be listed as brand new in the
• Dealer menu anymore.
  

• Improved performance for background rock generators.
  
• Fixed large lag spikes when the game changed from rings to station and upon loading save.
  
• Trading with habitat will now improve their disposition towards you.
  
• New quest options and dialogue choices when interacting with miners and space habitats.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused some derelict ships not be marked as a legitimate salvage and not thus transferred to the player.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused build-in EMP shielding to underperform. Cothon 212 now has the EMP shield level as advertised.
  
• When you bought a brand new ship and immediately sold it back, it was listed twice in the Dealer menu.
  
• Added additional check for “Full House” achievement, so you get it whenever you have a full crew on-board, not only when you just hired someone. This makes it possible to get that achievement when switching to a smaller ship.
  
• Tuned physics settings for very small objects to prevent them from passing through the hull of your ship.
  
• Translation updates.
  

• Right-clicking on an invalid object with a guiding drone installed will still rotate your ship.
  
• Gravimetric drone now has a visual scale for readouts displayed.
  
• Extra achievement.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused your launch sequence to count as a ring dive in ship logs.
  
• When you rescue a ship that is not abandoned, you get a monetary reward.
  
• Changed the visual cues for hearing impaired players to be both more subtle in appearance and hopefully more obvious what they represent.
  
• Number of stability improvements in thread-handling code.
  
• Changed a number of quests to be more predictable in their outcome.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused quest events near derelict ships to not trigger, locking out certain crew tales.
  
• Fixed warning levels for low ΔV on Eagle Prospector hud, which were set too high for Saturn’s rings.
  
• Restarting your computer will now reset all adaptive autopilot parameters to their default values.
  
• Adaptive autopilot modes now take more samples and are more difficult to confuse with anomalous cargo shifts.
  
• Changed the way crew quests are handled to ensure that everybody on your crew has his quest.
  
• Audio fixes - fixing audio stuttering and clipping on a couple of occasions.
  
• Fixed some visual glitches in the upgrade window.
  
• Updated translations.
  

• Claim beacons work again.
  
• Expanded one of crew quests with more interaction options.
  
• Changed autopilot disengagement protocol after you destroy a rock you targeted to be the same as if you caught it - you continue on the same course.
  
• Fixed wrong faces being displayed in some dialogues.
  
• Re-worded some of the ship and equipment descriptions.
  

• Catching an autopilot target with a salvage manipulator will use the same disengagement protocol as when acquiring cargo, making you move at the same velocity you were moving before intercept.
  
• Salvage manipulator was showing through clouds of dust and explosions.
  
• Drone systems will now lock targets only when they are actively acting upon them. This allows other drone systems or the manipulator to pick up more targets.
  
• Racing crew will keep away from the edge and won’t approach miners as often as they did.
  
• Salvage manipulator is much better at handling light items.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused salvage manipulators to try and catch parts on ships (excavators, reactors, docking clamps). Ships held this way were not counted as a legitimate salvage and in some cases could cause a crash when you returned to the station.

Maintenance Records

• Fixed a bug that caused the initial position of the resupply sliders to be inaccurate in some cases.
  
• Adjusted crew dialogues so they are less likely to ask for a raise twice in a row.
  
• Enabled AR1500 Manipulator to grab ice, grab ore and load up your ship when you open your excavator.
  
• Fixed a number of glitches related with AR1500, such as reaching out for targets even if powered off, trying to catch moonlets and grabbing things from your own cargo hold, and arm physics applying force in the centre of mass of your ship instead of it’s mounting point, ARM acting upon targets that it didn’t firmly grab and arm moving much faster than it should be possible.
  
• AR1500 will now slow rotation and align small objects, making it easier to capture lifepods and similarly shaped items.
  
• Changed AR1500 Manipulator upgrade simulation to show what it is doing.
  
• Ships you salvage will not explode during non-interactive cutscenes even if critically damaged.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused moonlets and habitats to repopulate in some cases.

• Drone system was scanning for targets even when it was powered off.
  
• Fixed a glitch on Eagle Prospector HUD that caused doppler lidar to display mostly white dots when bloom setting was disabled.
