Patch 1.3.1.0: The Morale Booster (15 March 2017)

What's New + Important Changes
- New Crew Morale mechanic, receive bonuses (or penalties) depending on current crew's morale. Morale naturally decreases over time but is also increased or decreased based on your actions in events, quests, and diplomatic interactions.
- More (20+) random events affecting Morale and even more random travelling events!
- Suddenly, greenshirts don't feel quite so 'disposable'...
- New Grand Admiral difficulty level!
- Even though they are totally awesome and our animator spent weeks and weeks on them, you can now turn off combat animations in the Options menu
- In efforts to reduce some of the grind and give players more choice as to how the game progresses, we've made some changes:
- greatly reduced the officer XP requirements for later levels
- reduced the resource costs for higher tier Ship Hangar Tech research
- doubled officer XP gains for most starbase activities

- The next two posts contain spoilers

- The Chruul Lts arrive a bit earlier and can also be taunted to arrive immediately via the Chruul Lab

- Increased the chances of getting equipment other than Omega Drones
- Original launch difficulty preferences have been restored
- Fixed a bug where the ordering of activities in starbase rooms would get shuffled around
- Slightly increased the enemy ship damage across all difficulty levels, to counter the advantages gained from morale bonuses and ship equipment

- Events that give drone rewards no longer trigger until the drone room is built
- Added equipment slots to Act3 alien gift ships
- Fixed issue with When In Xlar activity (officers can now be assigned to it)

- Overkill text has been moved to the left to be more visible
- Fixed bug where long save file names would make the UI jump around
- After assigning an officer to a resource multiplier activitiy, you will no longer receive a pop-up for completion. Instead, you will receive a notification and the officer will continue the task until you decide to cancel it
- When selecting an officer for an activity, all officers at the location (including officers already in a task) will appear on the available officers list. This will allow you to easily switch the officer activity without having to cancel their activity first

Quest + Economy
