Sins 1.17 und Entrenchment 1.03 Change Logs

Geschrieben von Crebiz

Monday, 8. June 2009

Lange Zeit war es still auf offizieller Seite.

Und nun die Ankündigung, dass neue Patches in der Testphase sind und vorraussichtlich nächste Woche released werden.

Veröffentlicht wurden die vorraussichtlichen Änderungen an Sins und Entrenchment (Oder unten angehängt an die News(engl)).

Wie zu erwarten sind beide Change Logs recht umfangreich ausgefallen, durch die lange "Durststrecke" an Patches. Und sie ähneln sich in vielen Punkten.
Es gibt wieder Changes in allen möglichen Bereichen: Netzwerk, Balancing, etc.

Es gilt zu beachten, dass dieser Patch unter Umständen vorhandene Savegames ungültig machen kann!

Sins of a Solar Empire v1.17 Change Log

WARNING: THIS UPDATE MAY INVALIDATE EXISTING SAVE GAMES.

Gameplay / Balance -
- All race's carrier cruiser's max speed reduced from 500 to 450.
- Fixed a bug in the pathfinder that caused it to favor sub-optimal paths for between system travel.
- Fixed incorrect start conditions on Double Cross map.
- Tweaked the equation for damage reduction so that it is more stable for large negative armor values.
- Magnetic Cloud orbit bodies now disable all abilities, not just those requiring antimatter.
- Marza Dreadnought:
  - Missile Barrage number of waves increased from 20 to 25.
  - Missile Barrage damage per wave reduced from 150 to 120.
  - Missile Barrage missile travel effect made unique from its normal missile weapon's effect.
Graphics and Effects -
- Missile Barrage missile travel effect made unique from its normal missile weapon's effect.
Networking / Multiplayer -

- Fixed missing multiplayer chat characters with some non-English languages.
- Fixed not being able to create ICO account and player names with certain non-English characters.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the ICO lobby to disappear.
Interface / HUD -

- Fixed some bad zooming behavior when you try and get too close (especially on small entities like fighters).
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't zoom in past a certain distance despite changes to the zoom scalar for the given entity. The minimum distance is still restricted to the entity's radius or 20m for objects will spatial extents (e.g. debris).
Modding -

Misc. -
- Fixed a rare crash bug caused by Jump Degradation ability of Overseer cruisers.
