Changelog

Features

Tweaks

• All ship tiers are now able to equip two Legendary items

• Balancing: Reduced Vindicator drone explosion passive radius
• Integrated community suggestions for translation improvements from Crowdin

Replaced two ship passives:

• Interceptor: "Refund 20% of the used ULT energy after deactivating Weapon Overdrive" → "When flying toward a locked enemy target beyond 1500m range, gain 15% increased speed"
• Gunship: "50% reduced hull and armor repair costs" → "After 10s of not being hit, gain 2% armor recovery every second, up to half total armor"
• The "Hard Reset" mode of the EMP Generator can no longer reduce the cooldown below 5s
• UI: Removed delay when opening pause menu
• UI: Added new marker to mainframe component in shop of mission 15 for better player guidance
• UI: Improved some inconsistencies regarding launch button on stations within the customization screen
• UI: Added commodity demand colorization to items shown in HUD message log
• UI: Improved gamepad navigation with data sub tabs
• UI: Ship selection on homebase - Added a small input delay to support faster cycling, especially on gamepad, and also removed potential memory issues when spamming the change action
• UI: Improved unlocking of some "The Story (ES2) So Far" entries that might spoil future story development

Bugfixes

• Fixed that "unlocking" a locked target did not work anymore (unlocking is done by holding the "lock target" button for about one second when using mouse/kb or double-pressing it when using controller)
• Fixed ULT charge sometimes not displaying correct value after undocking
• Fixed Vindicator drone explosion passive not counting as player-instigated damage
• Fixed Sniper Drone/Turret targeting lasers clipping through geometry
• Fixed weapon corrosion bonus attribute not working on certain weapon types
• Fixed wrong damage values being shown in Legendary item descriptions
• Fixed damage scaling curve of Legendary item effects
• Fixed ULT behavior when a sequence interrupts them
• Fixed broken mission state in "Rips in Space"
• Fixed sequence orientation when flying backwards out of the location boundaries
• Fixed Vindicator drones being lost after completing a ramen drone job
• Fixed that autopilot could not be used when using same keybinding for both "interact" and target lock" ("target lock" is an intended hidden action for autopilot)
• Fixed that "toggle freelook" could not be customized for gamepad controls (note that this is by default a hidden action tied to holding the "switch camera" button)
• Fixed that in some cases using mouse wheel to scroll did not work in the "missions" screen
• Fixed ARC-9000 colliding with the player's ship
• Fixed NPCs killing Ancients counting as player kills
• Fixed that "x" button icons were shown in cockpit in gamepad mode below devices/consumables icons instead of d-pad icons
• Fixed missing SFX for some condition fields (e.g. radiation)
• Fixed explosives damaging the player from too far away
• Fixed that when undocking too quickly after a repair operation, health value was set to current animation value instead of target value (looked like ship getting *damaged after undocking)

• Fixed a bug that an empty ship couldn't be sold, claiming that there is no cargo space to transfer
• UI: Fixed potential memory and rendering order issues when opening pause menu multiple times

• UI: Fixed that the gamepad controls overview options Right/Left-handed and Inverted/Not Inverted Pitch were labelled incorrectly
