New Features
Unload on arrival toggle
SFC now has a toggle to enable and disable 'unload on arrival' even during flight. This is a PRO feature, as the 'unload on arrival' feature is PRO as well.
Post-tutorial contracts
We added a series of post-tutorial contracts that new players receive after the regular tutorial. They will help to set up a second base. See devlog #526 and #527 for details.
Screen variables
This PRO-feature allows you to define variables of various types per screen. The variables can be used in commands. Each variable has a selector that allows you to quickly change its value and thus also the commands it is used in.
This can be used to build dynamic screen setups: for example, one could build a commodity exchange screen that has the orderbook, chart and order mask, etc. Changing the commodity variable would change the contents of each command simultaneously.
Changes
- The LMBL block list now also works for custom contracts. Players on a recipient's block list will not be able to send them contracts.
- We updated the PROD command to show more details, especially the production line efficiency and slots. This was inspired by refined PrUn.
- Loan templates now show the total interest.
- The amount of rentable warehouse units on commodity exchange stations has been raised to 2000 units. The pricing for units above 1000 is not linear anymore, but exponential. The WAR command has been updated to allow renting/cancelling multiple units in one go. The number of rentable units per company has been doubled.
- Changed the sort order of trades in CXO; latest trades are now on top of the list.
- Added a faction com channel for each faction. Each company will join this channel automatically (like a corporation channel). Leaving it is not possible, since it is assigned automatically, but the channel can be muted.
- Added additional recipes that use RE and WRH.
- Added additional recipes that use NA.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug where the MAX drop target in inventory transfers was not visible. This only occurred in infrastructure upkeep and fuel stores.
- Fixed a bug where SFC and other commands would show an error message when starting a flight in some rare circumstances.
