Patch notes for Interstellar Rift 0.2.14.00

FEATURES

• The game now preloads all textures and has a loading screen when it first boots.

• Added two automated weapons to the game, an automated laser turret and automated auto cannons.

  • Can be found in the ship editor under Exterior Edit Mode > Weapons

  • Automatic Auto Cannon resource cost: 250 Iron, 150 Copper, 250 Silicon.

  • Automatic Laser Turret resource cost: 250 Iron, 150 Copper, 250 Silicon.

  • Both use the same amount of CPU as their non-automatic counterparts, but have reduced fire rate and a mis chance.

  • Target the neares enemy object, and refocus once they lose track of the object.

  • They are Tier 1 devices.

  • Like other weapons, automatic weapons need to be in an active weapon group in order to work.

  • Automatically attacks Skrill, but only returns fire on other targets

• Added line of sight check to the Point defense drones around stations, and the normal drones.

• Upgraded the interface of the CPU terminal, now allows players to toggle line of sights check, add and remove weapons to a weapon group, and selection of weapon groups.

• Local teleporters can now be used by anyone when the access of the ship/station they are on is hacked.

• Added export to .csv file button to translation tool

• Added automated weapons CPU values to server config file

BALANCE

• Changed tier of Torpedo Launchers to tier 2, now use aluminium instead of steel.

• Rebalanced the way in which user drones find resources, now more based on the abundancy of the resource in the system.

• Cargo teleporter no longer resets using player ID when he leaves the ship

• Reworked disposer so it doesn't freeze when it has no power anymore.

• Ship upgrades now also repair all devices on the ship at the cost of a fraction of the original cost based on the damage it had

• The default state of an escape pod is now "On"

• Ships with an active station shield now won't be considered for auto-storage anymore

• Changed a lot of underlying systems to prevent too much memory from being allocated

• Fixed bug where tradestats cartridge would not scan a system when it runs from an extension bay
