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.
Hello commanders! A few minor changes, fixes and improvements for you today. As always, thanks for your feedback, I pay close attention to all of it.
tl;dr: Change notes are at the end of this post!
The main purpose of this patch is to smooth over some issues with the new "set direction" modifier for move orders. With this patch, the attack command will no longer become active when you're trying to set move direction with Left Control. And ships will adopt the chosen direction at the beginning of the move instead of at the end. This makes it much easier to sneak around ships while keeping your armour facing them.
I've also added an additional speed level to the game speed control. It now runs x1 -> x2 -> x3.
Here are the change notes in full.
[b]NEW: [/b]The game speed controller now has an additional step for x3 game speed.
[b]CHANGE:[/b] Giving a move order with a direction will now cause ships to turn in the given direction from the beginning of the move, instead of at the end.
[b]FIX:[/b] Unable to use Left Ctrl to apply the direction modifier to a move order.
[b]FIX:[/b] Incorrect spelling of "Reykjavik".
