Gameplay
"Refining the reconstruction system some more to make it less exploitable."
- After the insta-reconstruction, ships suffer minor structural damage
- Ships can only regenerate back to 80% of their health
- Repairing at a repair dock, in the build mode, or applying a plan fixes this
- Repair Docks now additionally repair for free when buying a reconstruction token
Balancing
"This one was meant to be released with 0.22.0 - ooops. Hyperspace engine cooldown already limits travel speed, so we're reducing the artificial calculation time. Keep in mind that jump calculation time masks the time it takes for the game to generate new sectors or load sectors from disk, so times may vary wildly."
- Reduced distance-related artificial hyperspace calculation time by up to 90%
- Longer jumps should take a lot less long to calculate
- Dev Comment: If it still takes long, it's because the server is taking a long time to load or generate sectors. Nothing can be done about that.
Scripting API
- When setting scriptable object values, those values are synced to clients now
