Patch 1.0.2
TL;DR: This is a coldfix (hotfixes are for servers, plus its a space game!) for a projectile trails visual bug that sneaked into the 1.0 release. For the enquiring minds, some of you may have noticed projectile trails jittering slightly due to small velocity discrepancies per fra

Reworked the campaign menu layout and displays the active fleet group loadouts
Vessel Fitting Screen: Turret Slots are now in ascending order
Options > Game - "Near-Miss Spread Angle" has been renamed to "Enemy Aim vs. Player Handicap". Increasing the value makes it more difficult for enemies to hit the player (based on relative velocity)

Improvements made to missile seeking logic for determining when to use intercept prediction, optimal distance to stop fleeing after a miss
Missile engine/thrust stats have been adjusted across all seeking missile types where larger sized missiles have less speed and maneuverability in compariosn to smaller sized. This is to provide targeted ships more opportunity to outrun or outlast incoming long range missile barrages
Adjusted the lock-on range for all seeking type missiles as appropriate to their maximum possible flight distance
Adjustments to target priorities for Medium/XLarge/Large turrets
Rewired settings changes for improving menu UI interaction: Disabled on screen touch ability; Disabled the deselect last selected when clicking on empty space; Disabled deselect last selected when clicking on another interactible
A pilot actor of a bigger size class ship (i.e. Battleship) should not be trying to evade a smaller ship size class (i.e. Corvettes, Frigates, Cruisers)
Tuned pilot actor steering PIDS for less jerky behaviour (due to a large number of crews complaints and reports of whiplash injuries)
Updated the radar display. IFF contacts (Friendly, Hostile, Neutral) have brightness reduction for contacts at > 5000 and > 25000 with closer contacts rendered on top of those further away
Command Panel no longer locks out actions itself when help glyphs are used to highlight specific commands available in the command panel

Death explosions now apply inherited velocity from the originating source (Ship explosions)
Overhaul of the Vessel Selection and Equipment Fitting (Refit) screens
Added "Ripple Launcher" action to the Gamepad Default bindings (Flight Group 3 > Center Button 2 (Xbox Start button))
Increased the text size of the Briefing and Debriefing screen (pt. 32 for standard text) and standardized formatting across all missions

Moved generic gamepad default binding for Match Speed action to Flight Group 3 - Start button
Moved generic gamepad default binding for Secondary Ripple action to Flight - Back button
Civilian Tug and Prologue Tug have subtarget scalebox issues for Bridge and Engines (needs box collider, instead of capsule)
Removed specific fps options from Frame Limit (i.e. 30FPS, 60FPS) as these option cause known stuttering during gameplay. Please use your graphics card driver software to set frame limit to specific FPS if the Vysnc options are too limited to personal preference.
Flight HUD Help Glyphs are taking up too much space (Especially on Steam Deck rez)
Ensured no font size is less than 9pt and aimed towards using 12pt as a minimum where possible
Fixed

Projectile VFX not rendering consistently (dependent on frame rate)
Gun muzzle VFX not being rendered consistently
Artillery not using correct muzzle VFX
VFX and SFX damage effects not being played as often as they should
Passive module stat modifier -- RegenRate -- was not being applied to damageable layers stats in Fitting Screen
Afterburn audio plays when key held down even though no fuel and not able to afterburn
Resolved an issue that significantly reduced the effectiveness of PDC's weaponry against missiles
Added missing Head Up Display (HUD) elements to the HUD color picker
Dropdown UI item lists now auto scroll to the current selected item at the top
While the player is in the dying state, pausing and entering into the Controls menu causes a NullReferenceException
Wingmen are having troubles staying in formation
Distinct Debris Texture Stretching
AI pilots are lateral thrusting into detected collidable objects, rather than evading them
HUD gun tracking pip elements will jump when the floating origin shift is perfomed
Static Asteroids are being displayed as (neutral) radar contacts. They should not be detected by the radar at all
In the ship fitting screen, when loading a saved preset if the "Not enough" currency dialogue box is triggered then the "Close" button does not have focus and you can navigate behind the popup window with the UI direction controls
In the ship fitting screen, the ship stat modifier display names for the various subsystem min efficiency need shortening to prevent overlapping the values
Command Panel - If a controller is disconnected while this panel is open, the pause screen appears and leaves the menu navigation in a broken state
Asteroid fields - Enabled setting which respects hazard nullification areas which had been accidentally left disabled during performance refactor
Explosions from ship destruction not correctly apply the velocity of the source at the time of the explosion being triggered (drifting explosions once again)
Thruster flare effects turn black when at very minimum thruster output
Added a catch to try and stop ships from being flung into the void due to a bad collision resolver. Ships have been limited to a 1000m/s velocity from a collision occuring.
An explosion causing damage to a structure may calculate a direction that is not a number (NaN) which breaks program execution flow and potentially causes further cascading issues
Improved targeted subsystem target bracket alignment
Target bracket for the Sumer Heavy Frigate now aligned correctly
Civilian Transport (campaign): shooting the far side engines side on may result in projectiles hanging around at the point of impact due and fails to cause damage to the ship or subsystem component
Prologue Mission 2 can be softlocked as turret orders can be changed after setting to Hold Fire, by using the relevant Commands Panel action, where the mineable asteroid can then be destroyed before scripting can be ready for the event
Transmission Dialogue text may overflow at the bottom. I.e. supply raid mission with text ending in "aft." related to the Auxilary ship.
Auxiliary Radiator substructures are missing death explosions and Cargo Pod death explosions are visually off from when the model is hidden
On Faction Change: Target outline color retains the original faction IFF color
During a mission, while the player is dying open the pause menu and it will throw the game and menu state into chaos
Turret target size priorities are not being honored
Friendly fire checks for guns are not being processed correctly
Improved Damage Repair II uses I stats
NullReference error when a missile collides with an asteroid
Asteroid explosion dust cloud death visual is scaled significantly smaller than the smallest of asteroids
Engine trails from fighters warping have the starting point of the wing leader creating unintended trail visuals
Destroying a specific radiator on the Auxiliary will remove its twin radiator instead of itself
Various typos in briefing and debriefing text, along with unified contexts used across several missions
Blaster Extra Large X3 turret is not scaled appropriately (too small)
Blaster Extra Large X1-3 turrets are missing their death explosions
Guided bomb visual model scale is too small
Sumer Gunship's in C01M02 are using an outdated and obsolete loadout preset
Autopilot cinematic start/end transition has 1 frame where the camera is not positioned correctly on the transition
A ship that warps out whilst in its dying state wont be removed from the dying counter for its Faction and can potentially soft-lock progression (i.e. C01M03)
Civilian Frigate's 2nd Sensor subsystem has same Id as the first
Civilian Frigate's Sensor subsystem's subtarget HUD element bracket has weird scaling issues when at edges of the player HUD (screen)
C03M02: Added missing warship names to hostiles at Nav Sierra
C04M02 - Supply Depot - can be targeted by player and players wingmen when seeking new target (but is not destructable so they shouldnt be attacking it)
The Exit Mission notification at end of the mission now display either/or keyboard and controller for the Pause Game action binding
Combat Pilot Actor can get stuck in Evading Target State (with no target to evade)
Projectiles may pass through some turrets (depending on the angle of attack) when not using homing projectiles
Xbox Bindings: RB+LB and LB+L1 appear to both cycle friendly targets. LB+L1 is indeed a duplicate. Replaced with Toggle Primary Gimbal.

Hey pilots,
As the release date for A-Spec First Assault looms, I have updated the demo to bring it in line with the full release.
The demo is limited to the prologue and serves as a light-story based tutorial series.
Some important changes from the original Prologue:

Players have the choice of skipping the first three missions which introduce basic flight, targeting mechanics.
Redesigned aspects of the first three prologue missions to keep the pacing up and reduced the distances as players move to each additional objective area.
Player will be able to transfer their save game profile from the Demo to the Full version. Owners of the full version will be asked about this on the first load of the full version. If you have played on an older version, then progress will not be transferred due to save game changes.
When it comes to the full version, if you have already played through the prologue and you want to jump straight into the main campaign you can skip the entire prologue: From within the Campaign screen, select Options and then select the option to reset the campaign to Chapter 1. You can also reset to the start of the Prologue if you desire. Note: This will overwrite any past progress and irreversible.
You can also export your bindings, then import them into the full version. More details will be provided on Friday when I will have the game manual ready (yes, an actual manual for reading) .
See you Friday!
P.S. If you have not purchased the Early Access version of A-SPEC First Assault, buy now for the current price. The price will be increasing on release day.

Patch Notes 0.20.1
Note: This update will reset all existing bindings to default values to avoid conflicts with new generic HOTAS and generic flight pedal default bindings
Overview

Added an overview screen as a place to easily reference control bindings
Artillery and Autocannon weaponry adjusted to provide more distinct differences and use
Improvements to Torpedo Launchers (installation costs, flight specs, damage)
Kherson turrets significantly less likely to spontaneously combust when firing a launcher salvo
Added

Default bindings for generic HOTAS controllers
Default bindings for generic flight pedal controllers
Controller Bindings Overview screen (For a quick glance reminder of controller bindings accessible from the pause menu during mission flights)
Changed

Adjustments to all Artillery and Autocannon variants towards defining distinct useage of these weapons and to Artillery:

Artillery are long range weapons (range increases, while muzzle velocities decrease, as slot sizes go up)
Burst and Standard Autocannons are medium range weapons (range increases, while muzzle velocities decrease, as slot sizes go up)
All Autocannons have a slightly faster muzzle velocity than the equivalent it's Burst Autocannons
Adjusted maximum projectile range and muzzle velocities to move autocannon use from long range to medium ranged
Torpedo Launcher (Medium):

Fitting Points cost changed to 61 (from 169)
Prestige Points cost changed to 1464 (from 1624)
Adjusted lock range and flight time and flight velocities
Torpedo Launcher (Large):

Fitting Points cost changed to 243 (from 675)
Prestige Points cost changed to 5832 (from 5400)
Adjusted lock range and flight time and flight velocities
Adjusted Explosive damage values
Torpedo Launcher (Extra Large):

Fitting Points cost changed to 648 (from 2250)
Prestige Points cost changed to 15552 (from 18000)
Adjusted lock range and flight time and flight velocities
Adjusted Explosive damage values
The launcher status bar in the flight HUD weapons panel will no longer play out the reloading UI animation when the launcher ammo is 0, instead it will remain as an empty bar
The Save/Load window in the Equipment Loadout Screen:

Window real-a-state has been increased and equipped items are listed with consolidated totals to ensure specification text is fully displayed
Players can now select Save/Load Slots 6-8 when using controller navigation
Controller axis binding for roll is now inverted by default
Fixed

Hard at work Akkadian Technicians have corrected a minor fault with the Kherson's new forward positioned keel turret mounts. In completely unrelated news, the Kherson's launchers have been repositioned further forward allowing missiles to reach their intended target that little bit quicker, oh, and-any-keel-mounted-turrets-will-no-longer-spontaneously-combust-when-firing-said-launchers
Several side missions were not using overrides to spawn vessels and instead used the data in the mission file (therefore no random spawns!)
Firing a secondary launcher with multiple salvo's and then immediately switching to another secondary launcher will pause the firing of the previous launcher
Projectiles were applying the shooters velocity to position offsetting the spawn location from the muzzle (which is no longer needed due to a script execution order change in a 0.19.x change)
Explosive Damage Enhancer Passive Module is not being applied to equipped launcher missile explosion damage
Equipment Loadout Screen now highlights locations (Primary, Secondary, Turrets) and equipped weaponry (primary guns and Turret models) on the vessel when hovering or selecting the relevant equipment slot
Vessel Selection Screen: Vessel loadout specification text for assigned wignmen is not updated when navigating the UI with the directional keys/buttons
Adjusted Turret Hierarchy Order so that turrets listed in the fitting screen in a standard convention
Muzzle Velocity and Max Range stats for projectiles do not display correct adjusted values with the Frictionless Coils Passive Module equipped
Rate of Fire stat for projectiles do not display correct adjusted values with the Magnetic Callibration Passive Module equipped
Using a Controller with a Throttle Axis binding assigned will set the throttle value to 0 while a Flight Group (1,2,3) button binding is held
Help Glyphs are not using a fallback for generic controllers without glyphs, which would instead use the element descriptive name of the controller for the bound action

Welcome to the front lines, Commander.
Greetings, Commander. There is a lot to digest in the patch notes below, so I'll cover some of the more noteworthy inclusions for update 0.20.0: Chapter 4 3 new main story missions brings the player to the front lines of the war. Encounter tougher and bigger enemies than before.
Greetings, Commander.

There is a lot to digest in the patch notes below, so I'll cover some of the more noteworthy inclusions for update 0.20.0:

Chapter 4
3 new main story missions brings the player to the front lines of the war. Encounter tougher and bigger enemies than before. Chapter 4 side missions up the ante as well, if you want a real challenge then test your mettle with the 'Ambushed' side missions.

Corvette Ship Improvements
The Akkadian corvettes (Player faction) have been given additional equipment slots, varying by ship across primary, secondary, turrets and passive modules. The Luhansk, Donetsk and Kherson have significant increases in Max Fitting Points to make the most of these.

Optional Player Assists
Near-Miss
Do you love flying into the enemy head on guns blazing, but hate how the enemy chews you up as much as you do them? Then hate no more, and increase the chances of enemies missing your entirely with the Near-Miss assist.

Find it from the main menu under Options > Game > Near-Miss Spread Angle
Increase the slider to make the enemies aim worse or reduce to 0 to turn it off entirely. Velocity changes, and relative speeds are factored into calculation, so you'll still need to make a few flight adjustments.

Homing Projectiles
You position the target in centre, your gimbal guns swivel to line up the perfect shot, squeeze the trigger and... Damn, the target fired its thrusters and adjusted its velocity enough for the projectile barrage to harmlessly pass by!

Feel more like a crack shot pilot at the extremes of your guns max ranges with the Homing Projectiles assist. When enabled any targeted vessel with the guns lined up for the kill will have their projectiles home in on the target. A bit like a heat seeking missile, but for projectiles!

This doesn't guarantee a 100% chance hit rate, if the projectile travel time is long enough the target has a chance to evade if they put enough thrust into it.

Patch Notes 0.20.0 (Merged with 0.19.x Release Candidate Builds)
Overview
Chapter 4 added to the story campaign
Increased Prestige rewards for completing main missions
FPS performance improvements
Various additions, gameplay improvements and bug fixes
Added
Chapter 4:
3 Main Missions
New (tougher) Side Mission spawn pools for: Ambush, Ambushed, Seek and Destroy, Convoy Escort/Destroy, Distress Call
Added weighting system to reduce the possibility of the same mission name types being overly repeated in side mission offers.
Allowed Akkadian Combat Pilot Actors to use afterburners (does not apply to other factions as adding this feature dramatically changed the difficulty and timings of a variety of missions)
Collision Avoidance conditions to stop AI Actor Pilots of larger ships evading much smaller ships
Targeted Substructures now have subsystem health and substructure health bars and values displayed in relevant flight HUD sections
Radar detection range can be adjusted on a per structure type basis (used to reduce detection range for specific structures in a Chapter 4 mission)
Improved FPS during explosions (Object Pooling relevant)
A couple of Particle Explosions missing from Object Pooling have now been included
Burst Autogun XXSmall (as a replacement for Sumer fighter craft using the Prologue Autogun XXSmall within the main campaign)
Projectiles being fired against the player (when the player is) will now calculate the chance that the projectile should be a near-miss based on local velocity and distance (All Blaster gun variations are excluded from this check)
Gameplay Assists (Options > Game > Gameplay Assists) for reducing enemy accuracy against the player and improving player accuracy with homing projectile weapons (excluding Blasters)
Changed
Luhansk Corvette:
Max fitting points increased to 404 (from 273)
Additional (+1) Primary Port group (x2 guns)
Additional (+1) forward launcher slot (Small fitting)
Additional (+1) Small Turret slot (rear keel)
Additional (+1) Small Passive Module slot
Donetsk Corvette:

Max fitting points increased to 1200 (from 566)
Additional (+3) turret slots on the keel
Additional (+2) forward launcher slots (Small/Medium fitting)
All small only turret slots on the deck can now fit Medium fittings (in addition to small fittings)
Additional (+1) Small Passive Module slot
Kherson Corvette:

Max fitting points increased to 1542 (from 960)
Secondary weapon slot has been re-positioned to a forward launcher towards making it more useful and in keeping with every other secondary weapon slot on other ships
Additional (+1) forward launcher slot (Small/Medium fitting)
Additional (+5) turret ports on the keel
Additional (+2) Small Passive Module slots
Adjusted Prestige rewards for completing main missions. Players will now have more Prestige to spend on ships and loadouts. This has been retroactively applied to existing campaigns
Thruster Optimizer Module description has been improved for better clarity
Thruster Tuning Modules description was using the original Thruster Optimizer Module description and has now been corrected to better summarise the modules' effect
Collision Avoidance checks for AI Actors now exclude distinct debris in the world
Improved FPS performance (linked to Radar system updates)
Sumer Fighters and Gunships have reduced armour and hull points to make them feel much less spongy
Reworked Subsystem damage through projectile penetration of armour layer:

Previously subsystem damage scaled down linearly based on the max armour hitpoints (HP) and current armour HP. If we have two armour quadrants, one with max 500 HP and the other max 1000 HP, they would offer the same level of subsystem protection based on their HP percentage. To make subsystem penetration more consistent a weapon has a defined threshold for how much HP it can 'pass' through to achive penetration. The subsystem damage is scaled based on the threshold (passing through more armour HP will reduce the projectile subsystem damage down to 0 when it reaches the penetration threshold). This make positioning and angle of attack more important when wielding penetrating weapons (with the railgun, and lesser the autocannons) for damaging deeply housed subsystems on armoured targets.
Adjusted the main campaign mission progression unlocks due to C01M03 being made available immediately available after C01M02.
Prologue Mission 6 (Based on feedback about objectives around destroying enemy turrets proved too difficult to manage for a tutorial mission - thanks StoneofTriumph):

Swapped out the Choke Blaster for Autogun player primary weapon (due to Choke Blaster limited range)
Disabled the offline repair ability for enemy turrets
Changed Xenia comms dialogue around turret repair
Added Medium Autocannon 8 to the frigates
Chapter 2 Mission 3 (C02M03):

Reinforcing friendly cruiser now spawns as an Akaddian Cruiser (instead of Sumer Cruiser) and given some speed mods to get it into the action quicker
Reduced the reinforcing Akaddian Donetsk corvettes to 3 (from 4) allowing the Akaddian Cruiser more opportunity to get in on the action
Sumer Gunship loadouts' have been adjusted giving 2 (from 4) gunships bombs to drop (bringing mission balancing back in line with pre 0.19.0 changes)
Chapter 3 Mission 2 (C02M02):

Fixed vessel names for several rebel frigate spawns
Admiral ship cannot be destroyed
Chapter 3 Mission 3 (C03M03):

Adjustments to rebel frigate and tug loadouts to improve their threat
Renamed the station
Civilian frigates now use correct prefab for ship data
Chapter 4 Mission 3 (C04M03):

Moved the starting spawn location of Sumer transports 15000 meters further away from the warp out point to provide the player more breathing room when engaging them (for a whopping extra 60 seconds)
Adjustments to rebel frigate and tug loadouts to improve their threat and challenge during chapter 3 side mission encounters
Combat Pilot AI: Adjusted calculation values for pilots deciding if they should change target to a bigger threat (should stick with designated targets for longer while under fire)
Combat Pilot AI: Logic on afterburn useage has been tuned towards reducing the overshooting targets and inappropriate usage overall
Removed peneration ability from Autogun and it can longer apply damage to covered subsystems
Mini Gun (used by the Sumer Gunship) renamed to Cannon and increased direct damage by 5DPS (30DPS total) and increased subsystem damage by 10DPS (60DPS total)
Player HUD Weapon Panel now counts down number of rounds remaining to be fired from a trigger pull (i.e. Burst Autocannons) on the weapons reload status bar
Updated the equipment text stats format and layout in the fitting screen
Sorting order improvements for inventory items listed in the fitting screen
Reinforced Armor Plating (Small) changes

Type I = Fitting points increase to 18 (from 6)
Type II = Armor HP increase to 3000 (from 2000), Fitting points increase to 84 (from n) and Prestige cost increase to 1120 (from n)
Type III = Armor HP increase to 7000 (from 3000), Fitting points increase to 270 (from n) and Prestige cost increase to 4992 (from n)
Percentage values are now penalized (reduced with multiple modules affecting the same stats) instead of just being a additive flat value
Progression with Equipment Unlock time changes

Artillery Medium X1 TURRET unlocks after completing C02M03
Autocannon/4 X1 (61) unlocks after completing C02M01
Autocannon/4 X2 (62) unlocks after completing C02M01
Autocannon/4 X3 (63) unlocks after completing C02M02
Burst Autocannon/2 X3 (59) unlocks after completing C01M01
Burst Autocannon/2 X3 (60) unlocks after completing C01M01
Explosive Damage Enhancer I unlocks after completing C01M03

Fixed
Replaced ship loadout secondary weapon references to old MLRS Launcher to new MLMS Launcher(s).
Skirmish Menu: Players will no longer be able to see or select factions not intended for use by the player
Sumer Light Frigate was incorrectly used as friendly unit in Ambush mission, and has now been replaced with Donetsk Corvette

Disabling AI Actor causing Invalid Operation Exception error
Resolved an issue with mission scripting logic for checks on subsystem health when the subsystem is attached to a damageable (and destructible) substructure which would return incorrect values when the substructure is destroyed
Null reference exception when an engine substructures(s) health reaches 0 on the Sumer Cruiser
A wingman with their own wing will not spawn their wing in formation when playing a Skirmish match
Vessel Loadout Screen: Equipped ship weaponry DPS overview list are significantly over inflated for primary weapons
Explosions hitting a dying substructures will continue to feed additional damage through to the main structure
Projectile guns which fire off multiple rounds on a single trigger pull start the reload timer as soon as it starts firing instead of after the last round being shot off (affecting Burst Autocannons and Blasters)
Blaster/4 Primary Gun was using a Medium slot size when it should be Small slot size and has been corrected
Ship overview panel in the fitting screen now shows individual applied stat values and correctly shows applied weapon damage stat values
Stopped the filter being re-applied when equipping an inventory item into a slot in the fitting screen (which would reset the scroll view back to the top each time)
Corrected known typos across several main mission briefings, debriefings, and communication dialogue

"Why is making a video game so slow!?!" - Many anonymous (indie) game developers (and potential customers) in existence.
Hey Pilots!
I use the term Release Candidate to state a patch that has not quite got everything in that I want for that patch. Effectively, its not officially released as I feel its not fully ready for it.
The 0.19.0 Release Candidate has been added to Steam Beta channel. If you are wanting to experience the Chapter 4 Story Missions (they are considered majorly complete) and/or wanting to help with testing, and providing feedback, navigate to the game's properties, go to the "Betas" tab, and select the 'Developer' beta from the dropdown menu.
Be aware, if you do opt-in, a backup of your campaign will be made towards avoiding loss of data. Which may need to be restored if any unexpected issues happen when the public patch is released. Profile backups can be found in the windows 'LocalLow\Digitum Software\A-SPEC First Assault` folder. If you don't feel confident you can always make a copy of the A-SPEC First Assault` to keep a copy safe. I do my best to avoid any issues, but sometimes unexpected edge cases can occur.
You can see what's included in the patch notes below.
As for what is missing for the public release:
I'll be looking at expanding and reviewing the side missions for more variety
Improving Actor AI afterburner decision making
Increasing the difficulty of side missions at each Chapter start as they feel too easy
Of course I'd love your feedback on the RC, on the above, and anything else, allowing me to focus on ensuring any changes and additions will minimise frustrations while providing fun, variety and engaging situations in every play.

Added launcher rewards missing from the campaign. The requisition officer has been advised of this oversight.
Fixed the 3rd person camera from being too far out for various ships. The AI drone camera system has been retrained to no longer fit the ships engine flares into view despite it's opposition of wanting to include 'all of the the shiny flares'.
The wrong ammo was fitted to the MLMS-POXY 2/5/10 launchers and will now use the correct proximity detonating warheads. This is the requisition officers second performance and standards warning.
