Assume command of a battle fleet and deploy immediately to the Dust Zone, commander. Our main food supply station has gone dark and the United Earth Nations (UEN) needs to know why in this 4X RTS space sim. Manage your ships, control space stations, and watch your back.
Welcome to Monday, commanders. Here's the patch notes for the latest Dust Fleet update addressing some feedback from the community.
[h2]CHANGES[/h2]
[list]
[*] The flak turret now only requires a light turret port instead of a medium.
[/list]
[h2]FIXES[/h2]
[list]
[*] Some ships captured during missions may not respond to orders. This is fixed for future occurrances, but any affected ships in saved games will remain affected.
[*] Destroyed squadron fighters being immediately rebuilt with low health upon docking, instead of waiting for other ships to complete build/repair first.
[*] Captured ships continue their attack orders on allied ships until given a new order.
[*] Allied ships continue attack orders on captured ships until given a new order.
[*] Holding right mouse button to pan the camera when a cutscene starts results in the camera pan still being active afterwards, until the right mouse button is pressed again.
[*] Tokara loadout has heavy missile launchers when it only has ports for medium. Tokara's default loadout now changed to use medium missiles. Note that these are much stronger against frigates than the heavy missiles.
[*] Using chaff opens pop-up camera view notification.
