We are getting closer to finalizing the multiplayer mode, so here are some other enhancements/changes outside of it for the next patch, as well as some multiplayer stuff
The password for the branch is xxmakeitsoxx
Multiplayer & Menus
Streamlined MP Flow: Completely rebuilt the multiplayer menu flow to be simpler and more intuitive.
Persistent MP Settings: Server settings and your ship skin selection are now remembered and tied to your specific save slot.
Ship Skin Selection: Added a dedicated selection screen within the multiplayer menu to easily swap your ship's skin before deploying.
Multiplayer Minigame: The Smuggler's Gambit minigame is now fully playable with others in multiplayer.
Client Targeting Fix: Fixed a critical issue where AI enemies were failing to lock on to multiplayer clients.
Gameplay & Balance
Shielded Cargo Rework: Converted shielded cargo capacity from a raw statistical number into explicit, dedicated inventory slots.
Module Pricing: Reduced the purchase price of all ship modules by 35% across the board.
Contract Requirements: Adjusted the minimum reputation required to accept contracts from 'Sus' down to 'Hostile X'.
System & Fixes
Save Slots Expanded: Increased the total number of available save slots from 3 to 10.
Background Fix: Fixed a bug where the Eclipse background was generating incorrect reputation values with Independent Pilots.
UI Adjustments: Made several minor visual and layout modifications to the main menu. As always, please restart Steam or verify your files to manually trigger the update. Please join us in discord to report bugs, suggest features, or just hang out and talk!
If you are enjoying the game, I'd love it if you could take a few minutes to leave a review on Steam.
Thank you for your attention, Captains.
