Hello Executives,

Nice little patch today to help with some bugs and also help with some of the map balancing.

New Features



  • The map editor has been updated so you can now choose what derelicts and civilian installations appear in a system, this should help if you are wanting to make a more balanced map. Previous map seeds created will still work.
  • Randomly generated maps will no longer place Geothermal and large mining stations next to starter systems as they have been classed as more desirable than the other derelicts.
  • Infesters have had a little overhaul where they are now stronger, bite and a new type has been added, this change was mainly because people found them more of an annoyance.
  • Destructible and standard doors have been added to derelicts and installations to make taking them a bit more of a challenge.
  • You can now see what game options have been applied when you have joined a match.
  • A requested feature to toggle traders selling wormhole tech has been added.
  • Traders now always carry wormhole tech, however the price has been massively increased.
  • The chatbox has been graphically updated but more importantly the text will hide if you open up a window, if you receive a message while the window is open it will display after it's closed.

Bug fixes



  • Fixed bulkhead doors appearing not opening when an Executron joined a game.
  • Fixed the missile command being added to the no super weapons option.
  • The research screen now updates when you have enough research points for tech.
  • Removed the economic tab from the design screen if there isn't any tech to build.
  • Changed the mining drone control structure design to fix mining drones clipping through the roof.
  • Fixed roofs on some derelicts which wouldn't hide when looking inside.

Thank you for the bug reports, I would kindly ask that you make sure its an actual bug first before sending me one as I've had a few now where I've received something and then moments later I receive a second saying please ignore the first.

Next I will be investigating adding extra win conditions.

Cheers,
Rob
