Versions

v1.03

v1.03.3

Changes

Tuning

• You can now retrieve crew from a room when teleporting even if they are shooting at a door or walking, limit of 4 per teleport
• If you're carrying the Crystal alien from the stasis pod, the Rock Homeworld map will start with the appropriate quest marker to for the beacon that leads to the Crystal sector
• The Crystal Lockdown bomb is now available as a drop (from enemies or in Stores) in Rock sectors
• Shield Skill will level up when the shields absorb a hit, not when they recharge. This prevents turning the shields on/off to level up.

Major Bugs

• Fixed: Bug that would sometimes cause an enemy ship not to get hit by asteroids in an asteroid field
• Fixed: Bug gave double rewards after victory when player teleporter was broken and crew 'used the shuttle'
• Jumping will now immediately provide invulnerability to solar flares, incoming boarding drones, and beams
• Can no longer open the ship upgrades screen in hostile situations using the hot key
• If the boss is destroyed, at that point game over will be blocked and your victory is assured even if your ship is exploding.
• Blast Door health will properly regenerate on safe (no current boarders) jumps
• Boarding Drones will no longer be hit by projectiles after they've successfully landed
• Boarding Drones will no longer be destroyed upon Boss Ship Super Shield regeneration
• Waiting in a nebula will no longer remove the sensor dampening effect
• Fixed: Sometimes enemy boarders wouldn't pursue any targets and just stand around.

Minor Bugs

• Drones should no longer fly "into" the shields and fire past them.
• Dying crewmembers will stay dead if you Save & Quit + Continue. They will also remain unselectable and unmovable as soon as dying animation starts.
• Will no longer open the store / allow repair in the rare situation that you have 0 hull and should be dead
• Credits + Victory screen won't close if you accidentally tap a key - only escape will close it
• Missiles/lasers/asteroids/etc. will no longer collide with bombs since they are technically 'interior' objects
• The event where your crewmember goes crazy will have the correct race/name after going crazy
• You won't be able to waste your money choosing pointless repair choices at the repair station event
• Beam Weapons can now correctly cause breaches, but that will not come standard to current weapons to preserve balance so it's just for modders.
• Interior console glow fixed to display correct colors for crew levels
• Combat/Defense drones will properly trigger blue event options
• Drone / missile counts can no longer go negative
• Modding to have more than 4 shield bars will no longer make asteroids ridiculously terrifying
• Crew will no longer continue repairing a breach if the room is on fire, the fire will take the correct priority (as the animation shows)
• More grammar/typo fixes and minor animation/image polish

v1.03.1

Contains the same changes as v1.03.0

• Indicator for when the enemy is attempting to jump away (and if it's able to)
• Cloaking will automatically cooldown in non-danger situations
• You can now pause using the middle mouse button (one handed gaming for those of you who need to hold your child in the other!)
• Orange room borders for very low O2 have been replaced with hazard stripes on the floor (should be more obvious for everyone)

v1.02.3

Compatibility Changes

• Older laptops experiencing "overly pixelated" or distorted images should now function

• Mac OS X version now implements Left-Ctrl+Left-Click to be equivalent to Right-Click

Fullscreen Changes

• Fullscreen stretch now works differently and should be more effective at properly "stretching" to fill your screen
• Monitors that support 2560x1440 should be properly scaling and look much better (I'm jealous)

• A more elaborate manual mode is available for tweaking your desired resolution effect within settings.ini

Additional Video Settings

• V-Sync can be activated within options mode. Depending on your system, you still might need to force it on or off from your video card control panel as well.
