Space Rogue 1.41 Patch Notes
The 1.41 update is live! Here's the detailed list of changes. Please, take a notice that some changes will be visible only when you start a new game.
It's been a while since our last news publication, and it's time to tell you what we're doing right now. Our main focus is the next update — version 1.41. It will include several quite important features and changes which are going to be a massive shift in the way you play Space Rogue. Keep in mind that work is still in progress and some of the features described below may change.
***
First of all, all game stats will be multiplicated. For instance, ship hull will have thousands of hit points instead of hundreds. Why? Mainly, because fractional numbers are complicated for understanding and balancing, so we got rid of them where was possible. However, these are not just cosmetic changes. Different types of stats get different multiplicators in order to make weapon damage more significant for crew members. Accurate numbers will be in the patch notes when the update is released.
Balance improvement isn't only change affecting your crew. With 1.41 update you will be able to decide which way your crew members will develop. Whether you need a tank warrior who takes all damage by himself or engineer with amazing repair speed, you will have such options. Besides, engineers will receive the ability to improve bays effectiveness — just like a captain. Oh, by the way, your captain's possibilities will also be enhanced. He will receive some unique passive skills and ability to give combat orders (more info about the later).
Space is dark and full of terrors. Who knows what you might encounter on your way to the glory of the greatest cosmic adventurer of all times. Recently, rumors appeared about strange giant Crystal floating through the galaxy. It behaved very hostilely and even shot down a few trade ships without any warnings. Some would say, they are just scary stories for newcomers. However, we'd be on the alert, if we were you.
Other changes relate to your comfort and stability of the game. Some improvements and new options in the interface are waiting for you as well as some bug fixes. The 1.41 update will be live later this month.

Space Rogue is getting better with every single update and the main reason for this — your help. Thank you and stay tuned!

Public Test
Good day, commanders!
Recently, some of you have faced few unpleasant bugs, such as freezing after combat, and other. We're trying to find their source, and your assistance will be very valuable.
Help us to find them by downloading and playing a Space Rogue beta-version through the Steam. All that we need is a player that able to catch this bug and send us log file (see instruction below).
The most active testers will receive a pleasant gift from us — DLC with the Space Rogue soundtrack :)
What are the differences between this version and usual one?
For now, more detailed logging, that's all. No new gameplay features or something like that. We just need to hunt some specific bugs which we can't reproduce on any PC in our office.
Who can participate?
Anyone, but keep in mind that due to a much more detailed logging method, this version of the game demands more resources of your PC and performs really slow on low-end machines.
How to start?
Here's the picture:
Right click on 'Space Rogue' title in Steam library
Select 'Properties', then 'Betas' tab
Enter the following code in the field: FTS4223tsQAs65
Select 'public_test - ' from drop-down menu
Take a notice, after you accepting the beta, Steam will download the patch which might corrupt your save files. We recommend you to finish your previous game in advance.
If you have any questions left, feel free to ask in the comments.

How to test?
It's nearly as simple as your usual game experience :)
After Steam downloading is finished, launch the game
Press "New Game"
Play until you are frozen during a combat or event, or you see any other bug
Quit or Minimize (Alt+Tab) the game, go to "_STEAM_FOLDER_\SteamApps\common\Space Rogue\SpaceRogue_Data" and find the file "output_log.txt"
Write the summary of what you did before the bug appeared and send to support@red-beat.com with the attached "output_log.txt"
Thank you!

Hi, guys!
We want to share with you some news about Space Rogue.
A small update with some bug fixes has just been released. Lots of bugs were removed, but still some of them you might notice during your walkthrough. However, we continue our work and with the next patch we're going to update the version of the game engine to Unity 5. We hope it will make the game more stable and help us to fix the problems which are dependent on the engine.
You can expect the 1.4 update with that and other more notable for the players changes releasing in June.
Also, we're analyzing the results of the recent survey. Thank you for your feedback! Very soon you will have another great opportunity to affect the game's future. Keep in touch!
What Should We Do Next?
Hi there!
While we're working on the important bug fixes, let's talk about the future of Space Rogue. Many game aspects still need to be improved, so we ask your help to choose what we should do in the next few patches. Please, share your opinions and we will correct our priorities according to your feedback.
We have a questions regarding general directions of the development and the list of specified features for each of them. First, you choose the most important general aspect of the game which should be changed. Then, we want to know your opinion on the small features. Thus, you will answer a few simple questions.
This is not the excessive list, but we're asking you to make your choice according to it. However, if you really think that your suggestion is much more important than anything in this list, feel free to tell us, of course. Also, keep in mind that technical stability and bug hunting tasks are not included in here because we're doing this type of work constantly and it will always be number one in our priorities.
