V0.8.25327

V0.8.25327 was a minor update to Everspace 2 that released on April 6th, 2022.

Developer notes

Thanks for all your feedback on the big content Stinger's Debut update (V0.8.25290) that dropped less than a week ago. Overall, the response from the community was very positive, but a few issues did slip through the cracks. To get those kinks ironed out, our team has been working hard to swiftly deliver this hotfix with the changes below:

Tweaks

• Balancing: Reduced EMP Generator effect duration
• Balancing: Reduced Bloodstar Raid Plating hitpoints
• Balancing: Adjusted Utility scaling curve for diminishing returns in late-game but greater bonus in early-game
• Balancing: Increased drop chances for pure and flawless resources
• Integrated localization changes suggested from Crowdin community

Bugfixes

• Fixed that during "The Magic Of Umami" while chasing Maddocks at Sato Orbit some doors were closed if side mission "Spelunking For Madcaps" was done before, resulting in a mission blocker
• Fixed "Cargo Full" loot screen sometimes showing up after pulling multiple items at once although there still was cargo space available
• Fixed "Cargo Full" loot screen sometimes showing invalid items after pulling multiple items at once that could result in all sorts of weird glitches including freezes and crashes
• Fixed that players who were at "From Scratch" mission when they updated from version 0.7 to version 0.8 were unable to collect the required Aetheum crystals because of a replaced resource ID
• Fixed "optimized" affix effect still affecting item after new catalyst has been applied
• Fixed Gunship turret damaging the player's ship
• Fixed that damage values displayed in device descriptions were not buffed by Utility
• Fixed Stinger expertise falsely showing up as a passive
• Fixed that blueprintable variants of items did not display the blueprint progress correctly
• Fixed wrong rarities of dropped blueprints if there were no more locked blueprints for a rarity
• Fixed that pillar-shaped asteroids in generic Zharkov locations could have wrong rotation
