v0.1.0.3 HOTFIX:
- Fixed Chimera mission bugs.
- Fixed a bug with 'zombie fleets' causing errors on load.
As discussed in our patch approach notes, this is a Quality of Life patch: your saved games are intact and won't be marked Legacy.
What's New
- Retreat from Space Combat! In over your head? Now you can tuck your tail between your legs and bug out. However, be prepared to take some damage as you make your hasty getaway.
- Alien Factions are now resistant and vulnerable to specific status effects (ie. Chruul ships are resistant to Weapons Disruption but more vulnerable to Hull Breached).
- Ship Affinity Bonuses now grant bonus resistance to status effects instead of slightly nonsensical bonuses versus alien races you haven't even fought yet.
- You can now rename your Ships!
- You can also rename your Green Shirts, for their admittedly short lives. (RIP Cadet Pickles. We barely knew you.)
- Greenshirts have gained new and juicy ways to die. Keep an eye out for them!
- Trading Cards are now available for Halcyon 6!
General Bug Fixes and Enhancements
- Reduced the difficulty of random Pirate / Chruul encounters while travelling through space.
- Time will now resume after you dismiss non-critical popups.
- Fixed a bug with Officers having difficulty levelling after Level 4 and 5 while the XP bar showed as full.
- You can now zoom out to an expanded view of the Starbase.
- Officer barks in combat should no longer delay actions.
- That one blown out, kinda loud explosion in combat? Gone!
Quest/Mission & Economy
- Slightly reduced frequency of Chruul Portal fleet spawns.
- Slightly increased Chruul Portal spawn rates once all destroyed.
- Revamped sector descriptions.
- Various and sundry, yet subtle, balance tweaks.
Ships/Officers & Powers
- Increased damage for Shield Disruptor.
- Slightly increased damage for Upload Virus.
- Decreased resist % for almost all powers.
- Slightly reduced Weapons Overloaded damage increase.
- Reduced recovery time on Doom Cannon power.
- Drone Swarm now nullifies buffs.

Have fun out there!
