Version 1.21.2: Patch Notes

Hey hey starchasers! How's your Saturday? Full of rain? That's thematically appropriate. We're returning to our weekly patch schedule now that Gods & Corpses is out of the way. It'll be a bit before our next big update (which is a true doozy) is coming out, so for now you'll have to be content with these tiny crumb-sized updates, in the same way my cat is satisfied with sitting on dirty clothes whenever she gets the chance.

Again, this is a small patch but there's a lot of decent optimizations and fixes that I think you'll appreciate.

Changelog is as follows:

NEW FEATURES

• Added a new option to control the size of the targeting reticule.

• The navmap will now display the owning region of a star system.

CHANGES AND REBALANCES

• Games saved on stations will show the current station’s location.

• Legendary ships that spawn beam stuff will now properly target nearby hostiles, not just the player.

• Ticker relays will now have green triangles on the long range scanner once their relevant questline begins.

• Adjusted projectile trajectory code to feel a little more natural.

• Huge improvements on performance in crowd-heavy areas on stations, due to many NPCs having their models reduced to single drawcalls.

• Adjusted lighting settings on some stations.

• Adjusted Darkon Entity’s ambient attacks to be a little bit more thematically consistent and not hit the player incorrectly.

• Dialogue cameras for almost all talkable-to characters now are properly oriented and translated.

• Optimized performance with the Darkon entity slightly.

• Updated several visuals in Reach for the Stars.

• Rebalanced some trade routes in Union systems to be less broken.

FIXES

• Fixed some weird geometry for the news board on the Remaining Eye.

• Fixed camera issues with the Loco Star.

• Fixed issue where waypoints on stations could cause the map to disappear.

• Fixed some mislabeled instructions during the Ordnance Tomb quest.

• Fixed some rendering issues in Clearhome.

• Fixed a huge amount of typos everywhere.

• Fixed issue where the pin wouldn’t work in some star systems.

And that's all for this week! See you next week.
