1.26 patch 8 August

The 1.26 patch will implement the following . Note, if you are running a server you will have to shut it down while your game folder patches.

• Weapon Effects System: higher quality weapons will randomly have up to 3 extra side-effects based on rarity. The initial efffect pool is:

• increased damage

• damage over time

• acid damage over time (direct to hull, bypassing shield and armor)

• electrical damage over time + reduced rate of fire

• fire damage over time (direct to armor, bypassing shield)

• snare + 40% reduced speed

• 20% splash damage

• 10% chance to launch a warhead, ignoring cooldown

• 2 extra side gun barrels

• 3 extra rear gun barrels

• Debuff and Resist systems for all objects to support the above side effects. Some enemies maybe be immune to certain effects.

• More powerful enemies may use their own weapon effects.

• New sound effects and icons related to the Effects and Debuffs systems above.

• General sound design adjustments for more variety and relative volume levels.

• Increased the maximum projectiles in flight for players from 32 to 50 due to increased weapon barrel counts.

• Weapon Quality and Weapon Effects now display on Bank Screen, Weapon Screen, and Weapon Lab Screens.

• When purchasing a new ship the "Current Ship" preview is properly updated to the newly purchased ship. Previously, it would not update until the Buy Ship Screen was dropped and re-opened.
