Hi retro pilots!
Here is a summary of the latest and major improvements to the game:
Balance Changes:
After adding a gems magnet to the ship hulls, Redbeard has done it again! The ship hulls now include an improved gems container that will allow pilots to retain 50% of the gems earned during a sector visit, even if the ship is destroyed.
You will thus be able to keep half the gems on death.
As a result of increasing R&D costs, Redbeard has decided to buy used items at only 80% of their initial price.
QoL improvements:
The game now supports keyboard and controller at the same time. This means the controller always works with the menus and you will be able to use the Steam Big Picture mode at all times with the game.
To allow this change, the key settings have been reset to the defaults for both keyboard and controllers.
You can now select the device you want to rebind in the key bindings panel.
Added a cursor speed setting that allows you to tweak it to your liking.
Added a visual indicator of the number of gems lost on death.
So what are you waiting for ? Hop into your ship and take advantage of all these new features and improvements!
