Early Access version 22

MAIN CHANGES

The main change in this update is the addition of asteroid belts to the galaxy, alongside their Meteor Storm missions & boss.The galaxy has been partially regenerated in order to make space for the new asteroid belts. Existing star systems have been moved around, so if you weren’t docked to a planet you may find your spacecraft floating in space!

This is a very delicate update. We tried to avoid a full galaxy regeneration, but this might cause things to not work as expected. Let us know if you encounter anything weird!

Medals will be awarded later today.

COMPATIBILITY

You will lose:

  • any in-mission progress
  • any menu options you have configured

CHANGELOG

  • [Server-side v21.2] Fixed server crash when awarding medals.
  • Shop: Equipment description text is now left-justified (instead of fully justified). (@BoggY :medal_military: Bug)
  • Profile screen: All stats now update in real-time (@harakat :medal_military: Bug )
  • Client: CPU work for updating spacecraft orbiting planets now reduced by 50%.
  • Fixed in-mission dark-text-against-dark-background problems (@therizinosaurphase :medal_military: Bug)

  • [Server-side] Restored deleted Droids (@Sammarald :medal_military: Bug)
  • Added new cloud texture to planet generation.
  • Added Asteroid Belts (galaxy regeneration required).
  • Fixed UCO laser appearing from thin air – caused by discrepancy between client/server arm bend angle (@JerryJargson :medal_military: Bug)
  • Added Meteor Storm missions.
  • Added Meteor Storm boss (@taxter789 :medal_military: Idea).
  • Fixed post-mission “medal buttons” being highlighted if clicked twice (@VerMishelb :medal_military: Bug)
  • Deleted users that haven’t logged in in the past 4 weeks and have less than an hour of playtime.
  • Deleted users that cheated in-mission before v.13.
  • Galaxy generation algorithm is now better at avoiding overlapping systems/routes (closer packing, better convergence)

No. I did some experiments with asteroids coming both from the front/behind, but it was crazy hard… perhaps something for the Universal Grandmaster difficulty? :wink:

Maybe rotate ship in some waves ?
For example 11 waves:
2 waves in forward
2 waves in right side
2 waves in left side
2 waves in backward
