Update 0.98.55b (29 August 2018)

- Changed again the tooltip display of the "cut to stun" to again try and make it easier to understand: with the previous update it wasn't clear if the stun was added or subtracted from the cut resistance. It now shows the total cut resistance like it did before the previous update, and also shows an "efficiency" percentage. eg. 80% cut resist efficiency will leave a 20% stun damage.
- Samurai armour dexterity penalty removed but overall damage penalty increased to compensate, so blunt weapons don't get an advantage over swords for samurais
- Samurai helmet now protects from dust storms
- Assassins rags dexterity bonus reduced by 0.1
- Added more stat penalties to the police helmet and reduced blunt resist slightly
- A few more subtle stat tweaks, generally increased the gap slightly between the heavy, medium and light armours.
- Fixed a typo in the gui code that was showing the wrong melee defence bonus in the armour tooltip (it showed the attack bonus instead)
- Spread a few more armour items and blueprints around some of the shops. You can now find blueprints for a faction-neutral version of Holy Chest Plate and the Armoured Hood
- Added a Blackened chain tagelmust
- "Self Preservation" AI should now react to charging enemies once they get close
- Fixed horizon fog blending with clouds


Update 0.98.54 (29 August 2018)

GEAR REBALANCE PART 3
- The idea now is that the light/medium armour guys should be able to do more harm and do well 1 on 1, and the heavy guys should handle being outnumbered better and overall last longer
- This is a big shake-up for armour. It's un-tested, so I would appreciate feedback, any items that you think are over-powered or worthless.
- Heavy armour has penalties to dexterity and attack skills. The idea is that it limits you to being a tank, your attack has been sacrificed a little for defence.
- Medium armours are designed to be for generalists. Less protection than heavy but only mild skill penalties and so more tactical options.
- Light and specialist armours are designed to be un-restrictive or even offer bonuses, suitable for rangers or glass-cannon melee ninjas and duelists
- Armour can penalise dexterity and damage dealing
- Changed the display of the armour stun damage stats in the armour tooltips to try and make it clearer to understand: it now shows 1 line for the final derived cut resistance, and a 2nd line for the incoming cut damage that gets converted into stun damage. Adding these 2 numbers together will get the total "cut resistance" number that it used to display before.
- Increased shirt armour cut resist by 10%
- Reduced plate armour stealth penalty so its still severe but not so total
- The hiver shirts will be delayed because our artist went on holiday, and employment law says I have to let him.

FIXES
- Some small tweaks to improve character movement bugs
- Fixed haul job stealing items from bars if player town radius overlaps
- Fixed player caravan and military formation spot issues
- Formation refreshed when value in AI panel changed
- Fixed bright yellow or white clouds at dusk
- Fixed AI confusion with almost full inventories when picking items off the ground

Patch 0.9.2.1 (29 August 2018)

- built with Unity 2018.2.4f1 (and following bugfixes)
- bigger block catalog, more consistent order of blocks
- added new blocks as a reward for Kickstarter backers (they received instructions how to redeem them via Kickstarter private message)
- various rendering optimizations:
--- merged cameras together and changed way of universe simulation
--- added options for low performance computers - lower quality models, dynamic resolution
- save files moved to the new folder
- added news box into main menu

Update 1.58 (29 August 2018)

1) [Tutorial] New tutorial popup for completing research of polished paintwork or aircon to make it clearer these are new slots.
2) [Bug] Fixed random crash bug in vehicle processing.
3) [Bug] Fixed long running bug where the warning/error icon on the vehicle design button was not always in synch with the designs to show missing features.
4) [Bug] Placing down car conveyor belts over the top of existing belts or slots now gives an appropriate refund for the cost of the existing slots to prevent double charging.
5) [Content] New researchable upgrade for export slots: Larger sales teams.
6) [Bug] Fixed bug with the display of some slot upgrade time reductions.
7) [Bug] Fixed bug where research and design studios researched differently at each game speed, also clarified true points generation per game minute.
8) [GUI] Holding down shift when clicking a resource import strategy button now applies that to every slot of the same type.
9) [Bug] Fixed bug where zooming in to put a currently highlighted and window-connected slot offscreen, then scrolling the world resulted in the window-connection lines screwing up.
10) [Feature] Maintenance facility (researchable) can speed up breakdown repairs, plus new breakdown feature (optional) where production slots can stop working.
11) [GUI] Buyall option for upgrades no longer closes window behind it.
12) [Performance] Major framerate boost for massive maps.
13) [GUI] When zooming out, max zoom out now correctly limited so you can see the whole map and nothing else.
14) [GUI] The lists of upgrades and imports on a slot window are now sorted alphabetically instead of seemingly randomly.
15) [GUI] List of car features at the bottom of the showroom screen is also now sorted alphabetically.
16) [Bug] Smart Junctions can no longer break down. (They lack the UI to show progress on repair so this seemed fair).
17) [GUI] Camera zoom is now non-linear to improve usability (hopefully :D)
18) [Feature] Export slot can now be broken down into paperwork and shipping. All previous upgrades are now paperwork upgrades.

Feedback on the new maintenance stuff is very welcome. I'll be working on improving some minor usability things in the next few days, and also investigating some reported issues when it comes to headlights and resources being refunded and re-ordered. There should be new artwork arriving soon which will mean a bunch of new content to come over the next few weeks.

Patch 1.1.4.5.2f2c56e (29 August 2018)

What’s New

Combat
Agent behaviour
We’ve spent a lot of time improving the Agent behaviour in this build. We want combat to feel diverse, realistic, fun and above all tense. Each encounter should be a challenge with different Agents employing different tactics, and likewise the player should need to approach each fight with different strategies. Here’s what we’ve been working on:
A major overhaul of enemy AI: improved tactics, new aggro rules and tweaks to enemy movement.
Enemies can now drift and use lateral thrusters.
Enemies are more manoeuvrable and less likely to collide with terrain, if they do they can extricate themselves.
New ramming behaviour for Cantankeri, Grievers, Chorister Bees, and Star-Maddened Explorers.
Tells (animations and sounds) to alert the player that an enemy is about to launch a particular attack.

Knockback
Knockback is now in place on all player and Agent weapons, including area-of-effect type attacks. When you fire your weapons your locomotive will recoil, and all projectiles cause knockback to player locomotives and enemies alike, making combat feel more weighty and realistic. Many Agent projectiles also deal blast damage so try not to get too close!
N.B. Knockback has not been added to small asteroids and space debris. While it would look amazing, we are not sure at the moment whether it’s something we are going to implement. It may have an impact on performance for example and we’ll need to assess that first.

Turrets
All Dreadnoughts and the Empyrean Outriders now have turrets mounted to their locomotives. Their turrets will cease to operate at a certain level of damage, but they are no longer an easy target from behind, and close range combat with them is not such a good idea. Their turrets will rotate and fire at you or any other beastie that the Agent is feeling wrathful towards.

Arcing
We’ve implemented arcing on Agent weapons. The Empyrean Outrider’s turret uses powerful homing missiles which will relentlessly hunt you down unless you are nimble enough to get out of their range. Arcing has only been implemented on Agent weapons so far, we didn't have time to balance this feature on player weapons. This will go out in a later update.

Auras
Aura attacks are a new type of Agent ability. Unlike weapons, they apply an effect over an area without producing a projectile. Empyrean Outriders for example, will drop a barrel bomb which will tick down and explode. If you are within the blast radius when it goes off, you will take damage.
It’s not just Hull that can be affected by these AoE attacks, the Outriders bomb will kill Crew for example, and the Scrive-Spinster’s scream attack will also grant Terror to anything in its range. Aura attacks can be foreseen by their warm-up visual Tells, so a sharp sky-captain will have time to react and get their locomotive out of harm's way.

Headlight awareness and wrath crescents
We introduced the wrath crescent in the Threat build and with Eleutheria we saw the arrival of the first Agents that react to headlights (Dousers become wrathful when headlights are on, Outriders are angered when it’s off, Grievers don’t like a light shining in their face when they are trying to catch forty winks)
In the Combat II build most enemies are now aware of your headlight. Aggressive Agents will be able to sense you from further away when it’s on. Turning it off will allow you to get closer to them, or enable you to run away before they attack, though at the cost of increasing your rate of Terror gain.
The Wrath crescent has been improved and will start to indicate the direction of potentially hostile Agents much earlier, allowing you to react accordingly. Will you turn tail and run or will you head into the fray?

New Agents
This update sees the release of three new enemies: the Undeparted, Bull Cantankeri and Senior Scriveners.

Player movement
We’ve made further adjustments to player locomotives - all player vessels are now more manoeuvrable.

Engine Problems
Now when your stats drop and you are no longer eligible for an item you have equipped, your locomotive will start to suffer from Engine Problems. Your engine’s heat value will be halved, hampering your ability to take on enemies effectively. When you next dock, your equipment will be removed along with any boosts they confer.

Vessel Names
When you illuminate an enemy with your headlight you will now see its class, e.g. Tackety Scout, Cantankeri, Douser, etc. This information will disappear after a few seconds and you'll not see it for that individual Agent again. If you encounter an Agent of the same type, you won't see its name until a full two minutes has elapsed since sighting the first one.
If the Agent is a Tackety Scout, or an Enduring or Glorious Dreadnought, then you’ll also see one of our Kickstarter backer’s vessel names. These backer names will also be seen on transient Wreck discoveries.

Updates
The new Traitor’s Wood content is fully in place.
The content for the Wreck of the Berrenger is now in game.
The Incautious Driver’s storyline can now be completed.
Headlights now flicker and cut out when entering extinguishments - sail carefully!
Agents spawns have been reduced in Eleutheria and some segments of the Reach and Albion now that their behaviour has been tweaked.
The Vala now has a quality requirement 50 Mirrors.
The Pellinore and Moloch have had their Hull value increased. The Parzival, Bedivere and Agravain have all had their Hull reduced.
The Agravain has been replaced with the Medea at the London engine yard.
Balancing to Agent and player damage, as well as Agent HP.
Hull repairs at Pan now cost Eleutherian Mysteries rather than Sovereigns.

Known Issues
Below is a list of known issues for this build. For a full list of known game issues see our Known Issues page.
Arcing does not currently work for Agent to Agent combat.
Audio cannot currently be attached to Auras so these attacks currently have no sound effects.
The final audio is not yet in place for all Agent attacks. Placeholder SFX have been added in some cases.
When docking after suffering from Engine Problems, if you have a full Hold the jettison interface will trigger twice (just press cancel each time to close it).
Additional Hull and Crew are not removed when items are automatically unequipped on docking after suffering Engine Problems.
Agent names are missing from Curators.
Agent names for Glorious and Enduring Dreadnoughts do not display correctly in Albion.
Agent health visuals (smoke, fire, blood particles) are not removed as Agents heal.
Bull Cantankeri do not yet have a bespoke storylet.
If a wrathful Agent loses wrath towards a player and subsequently regains it in another encounter, the wrath crescent will not display.
