Hoot! Hoot! The update is here ^^ Right on schedule, ok maybe I got lucky or perhaps worked long over the weekend. A little bit of both stands true. So here are the details and read carefully, this is some "good stuff" folks...
Avalon v1.0.0.3
- Game no longer freezes when exiting stat screen etc while in derelict station.
- Aliens no longer spawn on top walls in derelict stations.
- Text no longer writes on top one another if planet is a gas giant.
- Improved tropical planets from space.
- Enhanced creature graphics, mostly ice planet creatures.
- Added new faction the Sylion and updated avalonpedia to include some info on this faction.
- When talking to other ships, if you get a diplomatic token and there is a wanted level of 1 or higher with that faction then the wanted level will be dropped by 1 point.
- When talking to other ships, if you press engage you will now get a +1 wanted level with the factions ship you choose to engage.
- Added additional button to give 500 gc to another ship to decrease wanted level for that faction by 1 and receive a diplomacy token in addition to positive captain relations.
- Added additional button for a cease fire by paying 2000 gc, which will drop players wanted level with that faction down to 0 regardless of how high it was.
- Fixed red crosshair wanted indicators to correctly show the level from 1 to 5
Ok so as can be seen here a lot has improved and fixed with the wanted levels. This makes some diplomacy possible with ships and factions. For more details on how wanted levels work see the faction section in the in game Avalonpedia. It's the 5th button from the left on the top gui that looks like a book. The extra things mentioned in the last update preview never made it this time. I felt the ship scan screen and wanted levels were more important for this update. So there we have it, this concludes the first update for Avalon full release. Still more to come so hey, stay tuned.
Also don't forget to check in the forum, I will be posting more links to episode 4 of yet another let's play video I plan on doing soon. ;)
