StarCrawlers Update 2.8.2015 is live on GOG.
In prep for features in the upcoming Factions update, we’re testing out the new systems with a small Lunar New Year event. When visiting the space station, look for Rassa the Hook, a special item vendor. Rassa and his crew have been hiding Lucky Envelopes in various places, grab an envelope and you’ll find a Lunar Coin which can be traded for various festive items.
Focus on: Lab Maps, Item Enhancements and More!
Lab maps have been enhanced and improved based on feedback and suggestions and we’re excited to show a new item type: Enhancements! We’ve heard your requests for more ways to customize and tweak gear beyond the upgrade system, so Enhancements can permanently alter a weapon, armor, shield or accessory once to change its stats or add new effects.
UI
* Fixed several alignment issues.
* Added support for special currencies in addition to credits. Special currencies are not currently displayed outside of the merchant menu that uses them.
* Switched on 5:4 Aspect Ratio - please note this ratio has not been fully tested for all menus.
* When loading a game, the most recent Autosave is highlighted and placed at the top of the load menu and saves are correctly ordered according to timestamp. - thanks Jaesun!
Items
* Add Common and Uncommon item Enhancements for weapons, armor and shields.
* Added new items for Lunar New Year celebration.
Fixes
* Fixed a crash when a Void Psyker with an active Void Shell triggered an Overload.
* Fixed an issue where loot containers in bug infestation missions would sometimes be empty. - thanks Allanpike!
* Fixed an issue where adjusting the ambient gamma would create an additive brightness effect with each battle. - thanks ZiN!
* Fixed an issue with A.N.C.Hs failing to activate or activating for summoned pets.
* Fixed an issue with item icon duplication on some menus.
* Fixes class combat widgets emitting particles when offscreen & depth sorting issues.
* Fixed Talent Point Notification button from appearing during events on missions.
* Fixed an issue with shield pip display count on the Loadout menu.
* Fixed an issue with Hatches on Ships handing out items when they weren’t meant to.
* Free look rotations can no longer become gimbal locked when looking past angles that are straight up / straight down. As a result, you can look upside down, should you so wish. Enabling ‘Reset Camera on Move’ or tapping spacebar will reset rotations, as usual.
Coming Soon…
* Focus On: Factions!
* Contact factions you have discovered and have friendly chats with them over the Wire.
* Request unique items from factions that like you.
* Request amnesty from factions that are trying to kill you.
* Lexicon - defines game teminology & mechanics for the Learned Crawler. Almost complete!
* More Events, Hot Loot items and Mini Events
* More cool stuff!
