Hi all,
We've uploaded all new installers for each available language for Starpoint Gemini 2. Please re-download the installer for your language in order to get the latest and greatest version of the game which is version 1.2002.
Changelog for version 1.2002:
FIXED: An error related to Maintenance freelance mission that would cause it to malfunction
FIXED: Numerous small errors to increase stability
FIXED: A potential error that would manifest as a blue floating line on the Starchart when choosing a destination TGate
FIXED: Planetary landing panel now no longer slides across the screen in certain instances
FIXED: Info panel scrollbar can now be used with the mousewheel
FIXED: Several smaller errors related to the Convoy escort freelance mission
Convoy security escort will now always join the defense
Once destination is reached, the convoy ships are no longer marked as quest objects
If a marked ship in the convoy gets destroyed, the marker is removed as intended
FIXED: An error in the reputation calculation script when destroying ships of the Thaurian Alliance. You'll be getting positive rep now. (Thanks Dewar. I dunno how I missed it.)
UPDATED: Script system cleared of redundant data
UPDATED: A slight change related to flares to make sure nothing works out of the ordinary
UPDATED: Game log records more information
UPDATED: Standard random encounters now do NOT spawn if a battle is ongoing
UPDATED: The game automatically slightly adjusts graphics settings on minimum configurations (more specifically graphics card)
UPDATED: Weapons firing range that is displayed as hint on the Drydock and the Schematics are now synced
UPDATED: Increased the number of freelance mission spawnpoints for Convoy escort missions
UPDATED: Added several modifiers to the Convoy escort freelance mission
Ambushes can occur
Convoy path displayed on the starchart is now colored differently
If convoy leader gets to 1500 units distance from the player, the convoy slows down, almost to a halt and waits for the player to arrive
Convoy slows down during an attack
UPDATED: Older save files (both freeroam and campaign) will now include the change in the reputation system which allows you to become good or even allied with Nyx, Empire, Directorate and Thauria
ADDED: It is now possible to become neutral and allied with Nyx, Directorate, Empire And Thauria on older freeroam save files and after finishing the campaign mode (even if your save file is older).
ADDED: Game log is now recorded through a separate process, so don't be alarmed if you see a console window popup when you're entering or exiting the game
ADDED: OnLoadWorld script event
ADDED: Region info panel now available when clicking on the starchart
1.2000:
FIXED: You can no longer anchor on a non-existing station (temporarily disabled/replaced during some missions)
FIXED: Several minor errors in the captain's log mechanic
FIXED: Player should no longer die for unexplained reasons
FIXED: object markers are now visible until fighters dock on a ship for refueling (instead of until they're recalled by their parent ship)
FIXED: Fighters no longer decide to attack ships that have been destroyed/disabled
FIXED: Pressing Esc button while on Licenses panel now properly closes the panel, instead of opening the Main menu
FIXED: Using Engineer skill to increase Shield strength now fills that additional strength instead of simply adding it as maximum
ADDED: Automated repair facilities are now fully functional. Use the structure by entering inside its ring and wait for repairs to finish. It costs Credits though!
ADDED: Convoy escort freelance mission.
ADDED: Global event: War! which can escalate over time. As war escalates, so do actual battles in the region as well. It can potentially mean some nice salvage side profits.
ADDED: Global event: Cease fire which as its name implies ceases all hostilities in a region.
ADDED: When target locking an enemy fighter and the fighter goes off screen - an arrow appears to guide you where he went (as usual)
ADDED: HINT pop-ups in the following panels: Trader, Fleet->Officers, Hiring, Drydock (->Loadout, Enhancements, Systems, Equipment), Best Buy/Sell, Skills and Perks when using controllers
ADDED: Several Hull level related events on platforms
ADDED: globalvar object & functions added to increase scripting/modding capabilities
ADDED: A captain's log entry is now deleted when duplicated, to prevent cluttering
ADDED: First person camera mode - This does NOT mean cockpit or bridge view though. This camera mode is similar to the mounted camera, but you cannot see the ship at all. Should be useful when using smaller ship classes.
ADDED: Convoy escort freelance mission
Mission spawn markers added to region files
Freighter and freightliner ship classes added to regions if non already exist in memory
Convoy icon added to the Starchart
Objectives added to convoy ships for easier recognition
Convoy speed increased by 30% when out-of-combat

UPDATED: Further performance optimization of Riftways
UPDATED: Further optimized PhysX collision for better framerate, especially in the vicinity of stations and structures
UPDATED: Optimized flares for better framerate
UPDATED: Improved model streaming for faster execution
UPDATED: All scripts are now compressed to further improve performance. Uncompressed backups can be found as *.zip archives in the Spg2 folder

UPDATED: Due to base shield regeneration changes shield booster equipment now increases regeneration by 200% (down from 400%)
UPDATED: Increased fighter crafts Hull
UPDATED: Increased and rebalanced fighter prices
UPDATED: Rebalanced weapon types for most fighters
UPDATED: Using the speed booster now keeps your current speed percentage stable.
UPDATED: When loading the game all nearby Heroes will be positioned to a safe distance.
UPDATED: Fighters and Interceptors now prioritize firing on enemy Fighters, Bombers, Interceptors BEFORE enemy ships
UPDATED: Bombers now fire ONLY on enemy ships
UPDATED: Slightly increased the chance of a global event firing off
UPDATED: Implemented an additional script check to derelicts to prevent a never-ending stream of pirates protecting their salvage claim
UPDATED: Landing fee calculations. The pricing is mostly the same, but uses different reputation limiters.
UPDATED: Added reputation-based landing calculations for planets Thauria, Nyx, Carthagena and Eanakai
UPDATED: Increased landing fee for freighters and freightliners (2000, 4000 Cr)
UPDATED: Freelance mission marker now states what type of mission it is, instead of simple FREELANCE
UPDATED: Single text length in a script file can now exceed 256 characters

UPDATED: Several optimizations related to traffic density
UPDATED: Wormholes can now be set as destinations on the Starchart
UPDATED: Platforms now accept SetBoardable script function

Thanks and have a nice day :)
