A handful of tweaks and fixes for expedition mode have rolled out over the weekend and this update puts the cherry on top by fixing issues with AI ships not spawning.
In the upcoming week, the expedition lobby UI will get some overhaul to both create new gameplay possibilities and make getting onto the archipelago as smooth as possible. If everything goes smoothly, there may even be something to do with all the gold you'll get from collecting bounties.
1.9.0.3
Major Features
- Added a new cargo ship spawn, fort spawn, and ground outpost.
- Defeating AI airships will reward you with a gold bounty that will be split upon extraction. Bounties are split evenly among all ships that damage the AI. Bounties are tied to a ship so extracting with another team's ship will reward you with their bounties.
- Wood and aetherium stockpiles are capped at 15000 and other resources at 5000.
Minor Features
- Added a HUD popup for defeating AI airships and loading into Expedition.
- Cargo hauls now distribute 3 shares to captain, 1 to each crew. There will be additional options of 1/0 and 1/1 splits in the future.
- Anyone can extract their ship and the captain will still receive his shares and ship cost refund.
- If the captain of a ship leaves the match, the extractor of the airship will be treated as the captain.
- All players extract with their captain.
- Defeated AI airships will attempt to run away.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed AI cargo pads desynchronizing and becoming unlootable.
- Fixed AI reinforcements not spawning.
- Fixed a bug where parts could be placed outside the hangar.
- Corrected a jet stream on volcano to lead to Glacier.
