Greetings, Earthlings! Today's Sea of Stars update adds several new randomly occurring events, as well as other content and UI improvements. We're particularly fond of the new fire arc display that makes combat look at least 93% more futuristic! You may also discover a way to placate the volcanic attitude of your favorite silicon-based life forms, the Tchorak. Complete change list below:
- Added the "Derelict Vessel", a mysterious space hulk you may board and loot!
- Added Esmerelda, the interstellar thief. She's not a nice person, so invest in security.
- It is now possible to befriend the Tchorak through a lucky coincidence.
- Added fire arc displays to ships in combat, showing range and field of fire.
- Added a big cash reward for defeating the Kawangi.
- New art for several lifeforms and some drives.
- New music and diplomacy text for the Klakar.
- Improved UI scaling, now with five scaling factors rather than three.
- Slowed down Continuum Renderer effects.
- Automatically open trade inventory when encountering a trader.
- Fixed scripted event dialog buttons overlapping in high resolutions.
- Fixed ship system display not highlighting incompatible weapon slots in red.
- Fixed possibility of accidentally dismissing black hole dialog and falling in.
- Fixed the UI saying "items on planet" at a destroyed star system.
