CHANGES AND REBALANCES

• Imbo’s guns now no longer require reputation to buy. Why would they? All you need is Imbo.
  
• Defense Drones and Autoturrets have been rebalanced to be much more viable. Defense drones now do much more damage, while autoturrets now do more damage and take comparatively less energy.
  
• Buffed mining: Many more mineable asteroids will spawn, and asteroids have much higher yields and chances. Minable asteroids also now move slower and are slightly easier to shoot.
  
• We’ve refactored the background lightning effects you see in storms. They should no longer introduce shader errors and have higher resolution textures and glows.
  
• Weapon platforms are no longer considered space stations, which means missiles will now target and track them much better and they are no longer considered taxable income.

• The Great Spacetrain Robbery can now let you properly loot the cargo cars it has.
  
• Terminals, such as repair things, mission boards, news boards, etc, now have proper screen textures for the vast majority of them. No more black monitors filled with the inky uncaring abyss.

• Quest waypoints prioritize jumpgates over jumpholes for pathing now.
  
• Target closest hostile now can target a wider variety of things (such as battleships, weapon platforms, and fish) and the button for that on your UI now works.
  
• The Moonshiner now contacts you more easily and you can comm his train in order to get what you so deeply desire.
  
• Higher level scanner upgrades can now show you the health of mines.
  
• Reworked sudden suns in storms to surge better, do their damage more consistently, last much less, and have new sounds and effects.
  
• The Hellmouth Prince now has a custom talky speaky icon for talking, to better communicate that he’s not some random dude but a giant mass of living fire piloting a battleship (though not very well).
  
• Hellmouth Prince is now invincible until the fight starts. He’s always invincible mind you, just so very stupid.
  
• You can now quickload during combat.

CHANGES AND REBALANCES

• The escaped ship in Great Rescape is now recovered after you find it out in the minefield.
  
• Adjusted the distances of several hazards so that they can’t catch you quite as much by surprise.

• Added higher tiers of radiation hazards as storm hazards.

• Ammo now displays in ship descriptions.
  
• Turn rate now displays in ship descriptions.
  
• Forgiveness isn’t considered a virtue in the Union, but they’re still willing to forget. Attacking a neutral or friendly station, jumpgate, or laneline will gradually cause it to stop being hostile, provided you’re far enough away. By default, if you’re more than 35k away from a base for around a minute, it will stop being so damn angry at you.

• Gone Adrift will no longer show scannables for the ships you’ve already found.
  
• The Gate and the Code has more hints on how to figure out the Code for the Gate.
  
• Shooting missiles at a station doesn’t instantly incur a hostile wrath. They know you didn’t mean it. Right? RIGHT??
  
• Taking a further look at Us Missions, we’ve decided to make them award a VERY meager amount of reputation, to prevent softlocks. The Us are slow to trust unless you like, blow up an ancient jumpgate to stop a racist guy from attacking them or something. That gets them a bit happier.
  
• We’ve adjusted how the leading pip works with projectiles. Should be more accurate.
  
• Increased the target framerate option to go up to 300.

• Fixed issue in Box of Memories that could cause softlocks.
  
• Fixed issues in the Lords of Croft and campaign mission 14 that could cause softlocks.
  
• Saves made in space during a random mission will now acknowledge that you’ve launched to space with that random mission and update accordingly.

CHANGES AND REBALANCES

• Abyssdrive coloring won't save sometimes.
  
• Several random missions may not complete properly.
  
• Saves loaded in-space won't properly update random missions.
  
• Out of system waypoints for specific objects aren't functional. Waypointing to a system directly IS functional.

• New positioning for the Transfer All button when trading in a ship. It can all transfer all your cargo BACK to your original ship.
  

CHANGES AND REBALANCES:

• Hardpoints have gotten some major upgrades. In addition to them having higher health, repairing your hull will also repair your hardpoints and reactivate them.
  
• NPC missiles were far too fast. As a result, most missiles fired by NPCs have been slowed significantly, allowing you time to shoot them down or asking your Autoturret to shoot them down.
  
• We've rebalanced energy mechanics a bit to slow down your energy charge rate. This makes the skill for that much more useful while still allowing you to fire for a decent time.
  

FIXES

• Fixed a major issue where manual docking wasn't enabled by default and automatic docking wouldn't let you go through gates. By default now, automatic docking must always be turned on due to its vast inferiority over manual docking.
  
• While cleaning up the... stuff they found inside the Littlefish, Hat and the Idolsmashers accidentally flipped the "Hardpoints have no health" switch in the cockpit of said ship. I went back and switched it back on. Now the Littlefish's gun ports aren't made out of kitten whispers and butter dreams.
  
• Fixed issues where respeccing your character would give you extra skill points. For those who received them, have fun you overpowered bastards, you cards you.

• Made the instructions in "To Catch A Smuggler" clearer.
  
• Removed some additional placeholder audio.

• Taking a train to a station other than UHC-46 will now make "Off-Track" properly complete.
  
• Comprehensive fixes for the in-game radio. Unfortunately, MP3 support isn't on the table (thanks Unity!) but we fixed a bunch of loading errors related to it and updated the guide as to what formats and rates are valid to get Underspace to acknowledge your tunes.
  
• Loading a save that was saved in cockpit mode now doesn't disappearate your ship.
  
• Lowered the sound of scanning pings and fixed issue where sound settings wouldn't change their volume level.
  
• NPCs squadmates on lanelines can no longer ram you up. At least, not lethally.
  
• Rewrote some of the in-game manuals to contain more comprehensive information.
  
• Basic functionality for the search menu has been restored on the navmap and typing names into the searchbar won't cause menus to open.
  
• Fixed issues where cargo construction missions gave you too little loot to complete them.
  
• Texture quality option has been removed. A deep dive revealed it did Croft-all for performance while also making the game look significantly worse. We'll give you something neater in return, don't worry.
