Update 01.096 - Bug Fixing

expected planets but this is nice too

 

First !

 

G'morning

 

Shiet. Failed my weekly first attempt.

 

Praise Keen! I think my battery operated ships may be usable again.

 

Woot! Nice update!

 

Wait, so now I don't need 100+ batteries to run my gravity cannon? Well, all of my ofher ships are about to get a backup power system!

 

think planets will come on chrismas this year

 

@Drui how is answering our questions from the Dev Note thread comming along? I am hyped for that since that particular thread opened up

 

first Page, YAY!

 

dat astronauts arm

 

After that epic post on Tuesday of a sneak peek, I am disappoint keen.....I am disappoint.

 

I didn't know that this bugs even existed

 

guess you missed the part about no new features lol

 

The battery update is very welcome! And I'm sure the DS people will be happy with the jump fix.

I, uhh, could've lived with that one.

They're just that good: they fix bugs before you're even aware of them.

 

Thanks for the update. Glad to see some stuff getting sorted out. I've been watching some people playing with the planet source code and everyone is crashing, even with adding multiple sets of additional thrusters. May want to try to get the balancing for that in well before the planets release so the people brave enough to play with the source can start figuring out what will be needed ahead of time. I still think an Anti-mass block is the best way to allow ships on/off planet as otherwise every ship is going to have a ton of downward thrusters. Just make em expensive in terms of energy cost.

 

Bug fixing.. Yayyyy...

 

It would probably have been a smarter move to put that blog and screenshots in this week's update video to at least give us something interesting to look at. Can't say that in 2500 hours of play i have encountered a single one of the fixed bugs but the only good bug is a dead bug, so any bug squish is welcome in my personal book. (The list might also be incomplete.)

 

Very pleased with the bug fixing. Hope to see more.

I am very glad to see the "fixed turret not targeting character" bug fixed. I've seen that bug many times myself, both to my advantage and disadvantage.

 

I don't quite have 2500 hours but my bug experience seems to be similar. I've never experienced 90% of the stuff they fixed. Although, it also seems they fix more than they list.

 

Perhaps they are going to have a new "booster" engine to help ships get off planet? Who knows what we are in store for

 

Thanks for boosting the batteries! That'll help tons.

 

Can't wait to see if they touched the lights

 

My batteries didn't get any update at all. Anyone else having this?

 

For an update with no real additions, makes me very, very happy. I'm excited for planets and all but I'd much rather have better performance and stability, particular in multi. That's the part that's preventing me from playing right now.

 

Ewww.... No thank you. I hate the way artificial-mass blocks work and look. I've been really looking forward to planets because it means my ground vehicles will no longer need ugly glowing blocks on all the hubcaps. I've been designing planetary landers for months now, but I have tons of ships that CAN'T land on planets. They don't all need to. It's been more fun for me to build a fleet of specialized ships. My planned system has a large orbital facility that remains in space, refining everything. Meanwhile, there's a smaller planetary hauler that goes down to the surface, collects resources, and then returns to space.

 

Thanks guys, appreciated

 

Shame to see the fix for exploding air tight hangar doors exploding when un-merging didn't make it into this weeks patch. Still so many ships we can't use for fear of ripping them apart.

 

I hope they fix the mining waste ore bug next week, one when leaving the asteroid causes massive lag on system for a period of 1 or 2 minutes
