Hello starchasers! This is was originally going to be a cockpit hotfix for our lastweek gamepatch, but then I worked a bunch and now it's not. We're still not quite ready to showcase what's coming up for milestone 3, in the same way that my cat's not quite willing to accept that he's a gremlin.

I'll be vacationing down to New Orleans for the early parts of November, so you'll probably see little activity at that time.

[h1][b]Changelog is as follows:[/b][/h1] [h2]NEW FEATURES[/h2] [list] [*] Added new tutorials for low level players that occur when you equip different kinds of equipment such as heavy weapons, mines, and drones. [*] Added a new UI widget tracking your wanted status within a star system. [*] Added new console command “granteyes, givestormeyes, and grantuseyes” which will give stormeyes to you. [*] Added new console command “washermode” which will instantly set you to hostile with all lawfully aligned factions in game. [*] During the main campaign, military groups will offer special story-related random missions, including instant action battles against both the Doomsdayers and the Triangles. [*] Reach Station now offers defense missions once it’s completed. [*] Added new icons and race variants for regional pirate groups. [/list] [h2]CHANGES AND REBALANCES[/h2] [list] [*] Bombers now have a variation of their matching fighter cockpit that displays the second heavy attack… thing. [*] Buffed the health of the final boss in True Struggles of a Modern Artist. [*] Deleting saves on the main menu will no longer change the sorting. [*] Increased the size of hitboxes on NPC drones. [*] Decrease the size of NPC drone effects, due to being about 20x larger than intended. [*] NPC drones can no longer be killed by their owners by accident. They’re combat robots, not hamsters. [*] Redid some aspects of Planet Landings to better prevent players falling off and softlocks. [*] Lowered the thresholds for becoming wanted by the military within guarded systems. This is a precursor to a small overhaul to how the wanted system and military battleships in game works. [*] Adjusted damage of drones during the penultimate bossfight to be less damaging.
