Hello raiders!
We are back with our weekly update, this time focusing on the new Hell Galaxy patch.
Since the release of the first patch two weeks ago, we have been busy working on improvements, taking your feedback into account. As we mentioned before, with this patch our goal was to add more depth and awareness to the choices each raider makes when building their main weapon of survival, the mechanical Body made of cold metal. To achieve this we introduced a series of adjustments in that direction.
The overall Value of the ship has been made much more central and visible, so you can clearly see how it changes when you swap modules and how it affects the main characteristics of your ship, such as speed and damage.
To communicate these changes more clearly we also reworked parts of the UI. We introduced a new speed indicator, and the most noticeable change is in the ship summary menu. Several details have been clarified to help you manage the Value of your ship, giving you an immediate sense of how powerful your Body really is. This makes changing modules even more critical to your survival during exile in Neterun.
We also fixed some major bugs, including issues with loot interactions and one that prevented repairs on certain parts of the Kaledos station in the Outpost located in the Core region.
At the moment, after the update, loading an old save may cause problems with ship composition when upgrading. We are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible. For more details, you can check the dev log released alongside the patch:
We are already working on the next patch, which will focus on combat and bring a new set of feedback-driven improvements aimed at making battles even more immersive.
That is all for this week. As we dive back into our dangerous galaxy, we look forward to seeing you again in the next dev diary.
Farewell, raiders!
