  • Removed two examples of settlements metadata giving missions the idea that they can be used as skimmer massacre targets
  • Switched from MM: SS time format to MMm SSs format for inbox messages detailing a remaining duration for part of the mission. This format avoids the ambiguity from a string like 20:30 (is it 20 minutes, or twenty hours?)
  • Updated massacre skimmer missions to reference the skimmer system

Weapons

  • ECM balance tweaks: guided missiles and torpedos hit by an ECM charge will now gain a major drunk effect if they did not already have it, causing them to veer off target most of the time. Technically you can still be struck, but previously ECM'ed torpedos would maintain an almost straight trajectory which for ships unable to dodge would mean they got hit anyway
  • Dedicated keybinding for ECM. CM do not have to be in a fire group, holding this down will charge the first ECM module on your ship that is ready to go, and releasing will fire it
  • Experimental balance change reworking how heat weapons function, similar to our earlier proposal but adjusted with player feedback. Aim of the changes:
  • Thermal diminishing returns cut in much harder, previously they would start at 60% and prevent you going over 190%, whereas they will now start at 65% and prevent you going over 95% (down from 80%/120% in our earlier proposal). This means that heat from external attacks alone can never cause module or hull damage
  • The heat effects of Thermal Shock are doubled
  • The heat effects of Thermal Cascade are 25% more than they are on live (the previous beta heat nerf is being reversed, and then a small buff), combined with a slight nerf to PackHounds to stop them being so superior to other missiles
  • The goal here is for heat not to be a primary damage mechanism, but be there to punish your target for doing things that generate heat spikes such as SCBs, boosting or firing the hotter weapons. We also want to make it so that it is never worthwhile to stack a lot of heat weapons together: You will get the new full effect from a smaller number of weapons than before, but it can never get anywhere near as deadly and stacking more weapons beyond that point is counterproductive
  • Drop the damage of packhound missiles slightly, from 9 per missile to 7.5. They're doing slightly more damage than we wanted given their relative immunity to point defences, and dwarfing normal missile launchers

Ships

  • Increased size of internal fuel tank for Beluga and Orca
  • Enlarged hit locations on Imperial Fighter so its weapons can take damage
  • F63 Condor and Eagle side panels obscured by canopy geometry

  • Audio: Tweaks to wavescanner so not so overwhelming at organics locations
  • Audio: Added spread to wavescanner attenuation shareset, so doesnt pan as harshly

Environment

Outfitting/Shipyard

  • A module category will appear in the wrong place on the Store Multiple menu if no modules of that type are equipped fixed
  • Shipyard - B button doesn't work on sell ship popup fixed

  • Added some additional code to track whether a ship is being delivered „here“ to control the local ship tab highlighting
  • Accessing the livery via the station home screen no longer skips the 'which vehicle' step (if applicable)

  • Changed outfitting filter options to use vectors instead of bitmaps to try to improve clarity

Rendering

  • Prevent luminosity class VI sub-dwarf protostars selecting a white dwarf as it's nearest visual class (Please note: a side effect of this is that various TTauri or Herbig protostars will change from white to red/purple. This is not a bug, and is a slightly better representation of their actual temperatures)

  • Suppress heat warning event if docked
  • Tweaks to the “Location” event
  • Added a mechanism to import star system names into visited stars cache
  • Include Powerplay info in the FSDJump and Location events
