Over the past few weeks I've been posting incremental updates to the opt-in beta branch. With no reports of new issues introduced by the changes, I'm now promoting the latest to the default branch.
Build 17342 Notes:
- Highlight interactions on map now color codes based on category (purple = detected but unscanned, yellow = scanned but unsurveyed, teal = additional investigation possibilities, dark green = trade outpost)
- Added new tech that has a probability of briefly illuminating ships beyond normal sensor range on map
- New mini-side quest to unlock said tech
- Boosted map visibility of void nebulae
- Skill info on Crew Panel shows related techs
- Add button to delete all autosaves older than 24 hours
- Added dev console commands "RenamePlayer(first, last)" and "RenameShip(shipname)" (names must be in quotes, e.g., RenameShip("The Explorer")
- Several minor help/hints
- Don't show/load saves with a version greater than current version
- Minor tweaks to difficulty
- Numerous changes to controller/gamepad/deck inputs
- Refactored Cargo artifact display to be more efficient
