Game Update March 25, 2020

Between 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM UTC+1, the game servers will shut down for a new game update to be deployed.

Update Changelog


IMPROVEMENTS

• Improved Cryonite drop amount for Tau Ceti
  • After monitoring Cryonite drop amount for some time, we noticed that many of you still preferred Sirius for farming Cryonite. For high-level pilots, it is our aim to make Tau Ceti a more attractive system for farming Cryonite than Sirius.
  • As a result, the amount of Cryonite in drops has been adjusted as follows:
    • Sirius Ring 2-3: slight decrease
    • Sirius Ring 4: slight increase
    • Sirius Ring 5: significant increase
    • Vénar, Earth (in unrest), Calon: most significant increase
  • Cryonite rewards from Colossus battles have also been increased significantly.
  • Please note that we will continue to monitor Cryonite drops, and may make further corrections in the future.
• Added Tau Ceti part 3 story mission "Doppelganger" to Vénar orbit for an improved mission selection flow.
• Drop values of Calon mission units have been adjusted to match those of the regular planet units.
• The contents of the Mission board log will no longer be cleared when a mission ends in order to allow catching up on the detailed story reports after having played the mission.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed Scope Shifter range calculation so it is based on the correct item level.
• Added missing achievements for Sejmet and Interceptor units.
• Fixed a number of "White" missions on Calon:
  • Grab Incinerator tech
  • Loot Repair Turret tech
  • Plunder Repair Target tech
• Removed low-level drops from "Defend Energy Collector" mission units on Calon.
• Fixed an incorrect spawn event in Tau Ceti part 3 story mission "Gains and Losses".
• Fixed Mantis interceptor units using an incorrect 3D mesh.

We were able to fix another bug in time for the update:

ADDITIONAL BUG FIXES

• Fixed a client crash that occurred when the game's graphics resolution was changed after having left a planet whose water surfaces show real-time reflections.

The update had brought another change that we forgot to mention in the original changelog:

ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS

• The leveling curve that had first been adjusted for Tau Ceti with the March 17 update has been adjusted again in correspondence with the Cryonite drop changes introduced in this update (units' XP values changed with it). For pilots, this can have led to the illusion of losing XP, because the progress bar appeared to be "set back" when the scale was changed. However, all XP earned have been preserved.
