Update August 2, 2017: Hotfix (Build 1182) - server side only
- Possible fix for problems linked to EAC
-------------------------------------
Update: Hotfix (Build 1180)
- Fixed startup problems with client and server for some players
-------------------------------------
Hi Galactic Survivalists,
We just released Alpha 6.5.3 where we integrated a long requested feature: shot dispersion for NPCs and AI turrets. When a NPC or turret now shoots at you, it only hits you with a certain probability (the deviation depends on your distance to the NPC / turret and your speed). Let us know what you think of this feature and if it needs tweaking.
Moreover, we fixed the problem that the local coop server did not work with Workshop-subscribed scenarios.
Please report all gameplay bugs found in Alpha 6.5 here: http://empyriononline.com/threads/global-gameplay-bug-reports-alpha-6-5-x.12391
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Empyrion Dev Team
P.S. Please note that we had to release a hotfix (Build 1180) because several players experienced problems when starting up the client and/or server. Unfortunately, we had to revert some changes (No admin permissions needed anymore to run local coop server, EAC is now working with local coop server, etc). We are working on it to integrate them in the next update again.

Changelog: Alpha 6.5.3 (Build 1179)
Shot dispersion of NPCs and AI turrets:
- Added variance to shooting of NPCs: when a NPC shoots at you, it only hits you with a certain probability (depends on your distance to NPC and your speed)
Gameplay:
- Motorbike: the "look around with mouse" mode is now active per default when sitting on a motorbike
- Changed: Now turrets and NPCs are also using rotate speed limitation for looking up/down
Changes:
- Updated Localization: FR, RU, JAP (thanks to Eric Rosson, Sergei, Metapo)
- Replaced model for Dining Table Bench (deco)
- Replaced models for Armor Locker
- Added better open/close sounds for containers and other boxes
- Tweaked loading animation sprite
- Apply renaming also when clicking outside of renaming input field
- Updated soundtracks: Fall of Hyperion, Distant Worlds
- When removing a cargo box or similar and your inventory is full, after 1st drop containers is dropped with content of the box a warning message is displayed (when continuing to remove cargo boxes with full inventory only every 15sec are new drop containers is dropped). Reason: too many drop containers have a huge impact on performance
