0.147.4 - A New Years Hope

A new year dawns, and with it a new release. Our fist responsibility when making the game - even in early access - is to fix all the bugs and polish up everything first, before implementing new features, so you players get a complete, polished experience. This release attempts to do just that, patching up all the bugs we know about and polishing existing aspects of the game.

The pirate AI got a fine-tune, making them bit less hostile and much easier to scare away. There are now additional accessibility features, and I tried to fix all the bugs I was aware of. There are also new performance improvements and optimizations.

Changelog:

• Changed the AI of pirates, so they can now be scared off easier.
• Added visual cues for both hearing-impaired players and players that prefer to play without our soundtrack.
• Your astrogator panel will now display how long your astrogator can track an anomaly.
• Targeting ship equipment with autopilot will now correctly target the ship itself.
• Camera will not zoom in and out automatically if you have smart camera disabled.
• Performance improvements.
• Side-mounted lasers on K37 are no-longer obstructed by open excavator.
• Fine-tuned pilots adrenaline limits.
• Fixed a bug that could cause story events to duplicate under some circumstances.
• Fixes memory leak that caused performance degradation and possible crashes when playing for extended time.
• Fixes a bug that could cause your LIDAR to crash.
