CHANGE LOG
Improvements
- Added new visual effects for warp drive (including effect after arrival at destination point)
- Turrets now have 100% accuracy, so now it will be directed accurately at desired target even for fast moving target or in case of fast angular velocity of the ship. As result, automatic turrets and NPC stations is capable to destroy incoming debris and rockets with high accuracy.
- Improved GUI of color picker (added bar with selected color), added customizable color presets which saves between game sessions, added possibility to pick color from existed module, added possibility to automatically paint module after construction.
- Added a lot of new icons on interface buttons instead of texts, so now interface looks much more convenient, besides it solve a problem of localization if translated texts is too long to fit a button.
- The design of build menu has been improved
- Usability ship save-loader is greatly improved. Now it has convenient dialogue windows with various options (pick name, rename, overwrite, etc.)
- Now a trajectory of the orbit changes its color according to its status (stable, descending, escaping)
- Symbols "A" and "P" returned back on apoapsis and periapsis icons.
- Language files updated, added new text lines for all newly added texts
- Added button/link to Discord chat in main menu
Fixes
- Lasers no longer can hit invisible waypoints
- You no longer can control your ship while editing a text in any input field. It worked before, but now it more reliable and solve the problem when you can't control your ship while chat is open, but text field is hidden.
- Fixed description of "Pin Trajectory" button
