0.248.3 - Artificial Threat

Running the Edge

Edge Runners - operatives of Artificial Threat Location and Apprehension Specialist units have been seen in the rings. Artificial Intelligence in hunt of rogue AI's roam the rings with their unique ship, providing humanity the first and best line of defense against rogue agents.

This update marks start of development of second major storyline of ΔV. What stance will you take in AI vs AI conflict? More events will follow.

Improved drives

We re-balanced some Reaction Control System drives. Primarily electric propulsion systems - the nuclear assisted ion drives - have now much higher durability, making them more suitable for long dives. You will also find that vectored thrusters perform much more reliability when using fly-by-wire system or the autopilot.

Bugs fixed and miscellaneous changes

• Increased rotation limit of FBW system to match the autopilot setting.
• Racing drone is now much better at avoiding obstacles and will power-down should you catch it.
• FBW will utilize reaction wheel to greater degree now.
• Big story events won't happen next to each-other now.
• Fixed a bug that caused story not to progress during your first dive, if you had tutorial disabled in options.
• Raised the excessive relative velocity alarm to 150m/s.
• Warnings in upgrade menu for AGILE thrusters were off and showed you lacked power even when you had more than enough to power them.
• Simulation window in Upgrades didn't refresh if you installed empty upgrade in a slot.
• Increased frequency of crew-based story events.
• Fixed brightness of the microseismic scanner, which was displaying all the minerals as very similar, bright dots.
• Encountering racing drone will no-longer cause combat music to play.
