Just a little something looming over the horizon

Hello everybody!

Hope you're having a wonderful and gameful holiday season. Just popped by to hint a few notes that might pique your interest ;).

We're still on a somewhat of a break, but Oliver is not giving in and keeps on burning the midnight oil.

The next update is planned for mid-january and here are just a few of the highlights:

  • Fighters - Launching fighters so they can assist you in combat
  • Heroes - Persistent ships you can hunt down for special rewards. The Bounty list can be accessed through the Starchart
  • AI improvements
    • Autopilot will avoid large objects (for now, smaller object will come into play as well)
    • Attacking ships near a station friendly to them will force the station to call for reinforcements
    • Security patrols react to player attacking their friendly ships in their vicinity
    • Increased ship spawning near stations and planets

We'll update the highlight thread up until the update goes live :) !

Have fun ladies and gents, and we wish you continually happy holidays!
