All hands to battle stations, this new update delivers to you guys a much anticipated new component; “The Bridge”. The bridge is a new form of cockpit that has seats for 4 players, two pilot stations, the captains chair and an engineering station. The design of this new bridge gives you a very wide field of view as it has very large angled windows.
The bridge features a built in holotable for planning and scanning your surroundings, as well as a status screen on the main window. The main new feature of this bridge however is the captain's chair. This new station lets you give orders to your crew by having text appear on the targeted players screen. It lets you set alert states throughout the ship, this will change the lighting and give you a notification as to what alert state you have set. And lastly the captain will have control over the ships self destruct. The self destruct timer is by default set to 5 minutes and can be increased to be as long as necessary but not shortened.
And lastly there is an engineering terminal which works exactly like the stand alone one, and can be used to keep an eye on your devices.
We have also made the captain's chair a separate device for you to place wherever you like.
For all other things in the patch, please see the details in the patch notes linked below.
