  • Type in chat /SHIPID to get the id of the ship you are on​.
  • Type in chat /SETSPAWN <SHIP ID>​ to set spawn on a ship without accessing it's Med bay. - Useful to get players to the ship when they join the midgame.

Modding:​​
  • New ship AI BOARDING_MANAGER. Manages NPC boarders.
  • Made it easier to start the game with your own custom ship:
    For that open the event file D31 events.xml.
    There in the event SPAWN_D31, change SPAWN_FALCON to SPAWN_CUSTOM_FALCON.
    Then in the SPAWN_CUSTOM_FALCON event change ship_model="FALCON" to your custom model.
  • In the modify ship event you can now:
    (de)charge_system_model,
    (de)charge_system_type, ​
    (de)charge_cloak,
    install_system_model_direct - (allows you you specify where to install the system)​

Rebalancing:​
  • Traders now have more stock​.
  • Storm hazard now also damage systems and can kill mobs in open space.

Bug fixes:​
  • A little bit more refactoring to win in the Lag war.
    In bigger screen resolutions - npcs might move with a stutter.
    Still working on improving this.
  • Other small bug fixes here and there.
