Be sure to use your leveling filter to quickly pick and level crew
Captain! You're feedback and reviewers have delivered another release.
Keep it up! With this release, we are working hard on a host of smaller UI improvements, game balance, Rep system tweaks and the final small scaling fixes. We have also closed all reported story bugs and crashes. Please report if you hit any snag!
Rep Intricacies
With your help, we've added some exciting new depth to the Rep system around looting goods from enemies and how pirates act when encountered in space. First, you can now loot and steal fuel from pirates with impunity -- no Rep damage is caused. They're pirates! Second, if you steal biowaste or scrap metal from anyone, there is no rep damage. Third, if you steal goods that require a permit from a Smuggler, there is no Rep damage -- the Captain can't really report theft of goods he or she was carrying illegally!
Finally, Pirates aren't willing to pay Tribute anymore. They don't like your offer for protection and their crew would view them as weak.
New Combat Talent
We've added Blowback, a great new Soldier Talent for shotguns that can be used only from the very front. It fits well with Roaring Barrels, Grenades, and other frontline buffs. Boom!
UI Improvements
We're still working on smaller things because a lot of our time is in crash and story bug resolution, but we've managed to cover a lot of the requests that came in over the last few days from Steam. Of course, there is always more to do and the list is VERY long, but we're proud to be moving quick on player requests!
The list is pretty long but you'll either see them in game or can read it all here!
Please leave a review if you appreciate the updates!
