TEMA: Parche 1.1.5

Contents:

Gameplay

Battle Royale and Squadron Battle have had their maximum player count increased to 16

Respawn penalty has been applied for situations where a pilot would intentionally destroy the ship to either

reload missiles or prevent another player from getting a kill

Reworked the server, instance, and matchmaking service from the ground up

Lobby system and game servers now talk to each other about the teams that a client is on in the lobby and in game

Lobby system will now remove players from a lobby if the instance system crashes rather than letting a group remain in a broken lobby

Game Instances are able to transition from completed matches to hosting a new match more quickly

Ships

Vanduul Scythe is hangar and combat ready (shows as captured vanduul fighter in lobby)

P52-Merlin is hangar and combat ready

Due to being a snub fighter, the Merlin does not have intakes. As such, it does not replenish fuel while flying. In the PU, it would do this by docking with a Constellation

Accounts that have constellation variants that come with a snub fighter will be given a Merlin loaner ship to use in Arena Commander

Like other loaner ships, loaner Merlin’s cannot be placed in the hangar

Placing a Constellation Andromeda in the hangar will also spawn a Merlin

Components

Added support for spray patterns to weapons based on weapon mount type

Added new attenuation for missiles explosions

Added weapon names to Vanduul armaments

Added blade extension for captured Vanduul Scythe. It is activated by turning the item on in the weapon UI

Human engineers have increased the weapon lethality for the ship for the captured version of the scythe

User Interface

Added a HUD effect to the Vanduul Scythe where the alien ship HUD will appear in some situations

Electronic Access button has replaced the Arena Commander button in the main menu to help with indicating that Arena Commander and Star Marine and simulations within the game fiction

Arena Commander and Star Marine icons have been added for each game module

Game module icons will be grayed out for accounts that do not have access to them (Star Marine is grayed out for all accounts)

Game modes and maps will have a red overlay for accounts that are invited to lobbies which contain game modes they can’t play

Lobby host will receive an error if a player in a lobby doesn’t have access to the selected game mode

Match ID’s have been put back into the game to make it easier for players to report issues with specific instances

Match ID length and complexity has been increased to ensure that they’re always unique

Environment

Transitioned the audio system for all game content over to new cross-platform sound engine

Added additional ambiance to the VFG Industrial hangar

Added new splash screens when initially logging into the game

Balance/Tweaks:

Gameplay

Updated how ships calculate their mass when in the hangar

Points that are earned for doing damage to ship hulls has been adjusted due to the changes in ship health

Rebalanced Vanduul Swarm to be in line with desired difficulty due to the balance changes made to ships

Ships

Boost consumption has been rebalanced so that it involves more decision making for when to use it and involves less attrition

300-series hull health increased x2

Aurora hull health increased x3

Aurora top speed increased to 175

Avenger hull health increased x2

Avenger wings upsized from size 1 to size 2

Gladiator hull health increased x2

Gladiator adjusted to drift more when turning so that it handles appropriately for its size and role.

Gladius hull health increased x2

Hornet family hull health increased x2

Hornet rotational velocity increased

Hornet rotational acceleration decreased

M50 hull health increased x3

Restricted missile hardpoint sizes from size 1-3 to size 3 only to restrict possible missile racks on the Hornet

Series

Cutlass hull health increased x3

Decreased Cutlass boost angular velocity from 3x normal to 2x normal

Components

Weapon damage increased by about 25%

The weapon damage disparity between sizes increased to 75%. Helps to make fixed weapons vs gimbaled weapons a more valuable decision.

Weapon accuracy for gatling weapons decreases/spread increases over longer sustained rate of fire

Weapon mount and gimbal slew rates are now set based by size

Adjusted weapon mounts so that their IM and EM signature generation scales with mount size

Increasing cooling flow for weapons due to higher health and shield values

Chaff counter measures will now fire in bursts of 4 across a 120 degree horizontal arc, chaff counter measure ammo box sizes have been quadrupled to match the burst

Size and potency of chaff reduced

Missile damage raised x1.5 for all missiles to help compensate the increased ship/shield health and the raised Shield absorb for splash damage

Tempest II reduced explosion radius and overall damage

Stalker V reduced explosion radius and overall damage

*Shield values have been doubled

Shield splash damage absorb factor increased from 1 to 1.25 as a baseline. SECO-Splash shields raised to 1.5 and SECO-Drop shields raised from 0.8 to 1

Shield recharge rates have been reduced

Shield regen delay increased across the board for all sizes. Shortest delay is 9.5s for Size 1 and 19.5s at Size 4

Environment

Rotated the holotables and moved most of them next to a wall

Fixes:

Gameplay

Client and server performance for when ships are destroyed and respawn has been greatly improved

Clients that enter a team game mode from the same ranked lobby will now be on the same team

Characters rolling while prone is now seen by other clients

Characters no longer spawn in as a pair of eyes

Fixed a few issues that were causing characters to spawn in a pilot seat standing up (some still exist)

Fixed an issue causing ships to sometimes sink into landing platforms in Multiplayer Free Flight when using automatic landing

Fixed a crash that would occasionally occur when landing in Multiplayer Free Flight

Ships

Fixed an issue where the ship name would appear as debug text for the tutorial Gladius’ ship AI

Front panels on the Mustang now animate when used

Mustangs no longer float in the air after landing with damaged or destroyed wings

Fixed the mustang turret showing debug text in the holotable

Fixed an issue where swapping turrets in a constellation would cause character animations to malfunction

Killing a Cutlass now gives proper credit

Components

Delta Rocket pods no longer display their name as debug text

User Interface

Fixed an issue that caused cross-hairs and reticule to sometimes go missing upon respawn

Thrusters can now be deactivated in power management

Holding tab will no longer cause the score board to default to on

Environment

Murray Cup poster now appears in the Asteroid Hangar

Cloud in race maps are no longer popping in and out

Known Issues:

These are not representative of all known issues in the build. The following issues are bugs that were introduced with this version of the game that we feel are most impactful to play experience.

Gameplay

Spawning will sometime cause blood splatter to appear on the helmet

Pressing tab five times will open chat in Arena Commander

There are a number of issues that prevent progression through the Arena Commander tutorial

Connection error 8 will occasionally occur when connecting to a multiplayer match

Spectator cameras cannot be controlled and will shake too much when observing another ship

Comstab can no longer be disabled/enabled

Matchmaking will load clients queued up for different race modes into the same server instance

Client can get stuck on an infinite load screen if they are matched into a server instance that no longer exists due to the game ending

Client will black screen when entering a lobby if it is unable to communicate with the Generic Instance Manager

The ability to send invites does not recover if the Generic Instance Manager crashes (workaround, enter your own lobby as a host to update your clients online status and invites should work again)

Leaderboard statistics are not being communicated to the website

Ships

Ships will sometimes spawn without IR and EM signature

Ships will sometimes not be able to respawn in Arena Commander

Merlin jerks when boosting after lateral turn

Merlin HUD cannot be interacted with

Constellation Andromeda ship surfaces are missing textures and lighting, causing them to be black in some areas

Freelancer variants are missing textures and lighting, causing them to be black in most areas

Retaliator is missing collision in several locations

Components

Motion blur settings for some ship components is set higher than it should be

User Interface

There is no message or timer indicating the penalty for early ejection

Error codes are not being displayed in hangar and are not visible until a client loads into another match, making it seem like they appear at the start of a match

Game Mode selection resets when returning to the lobby (this in turn can cause the lobby host to see duplicates of other players in the lobby)

Environment

Large blocks of invisible collision are present on the left and right sides of the Aeroview hangara

Ahora la nave se desplaza lateralmente en mayor o menor cantidad dependiendo de los trusters que tiene para ello.
Ejemplo. HORNETS:

Thrusters: 8 (4 Flex, 4 Hinged)
Thrusters Available For Pitch/Roll/Yaw: 8
Thrusters Available for Vertical Strafe: 4 each direction
Thrusters Available for Forward/Reverse Strafe: 4 + Main Engine / 4
Thrusters Available for Lateral Strafe: 2 each direction

Solo dispone de DOS thrusters para el movimiento lateral y contrarestarlo para enderezar la nave.


The Cutlass

Thrusters: 14 (2x TR4, 4x TR3, 8x TR1)
Thrusters for Pitch/Roll/Yaw: 14/14/6 (2x TR4 + 4x TR3)
Thrusters for Vertical Strafe: 14
Thrusters for Lateral Strafe: 2 (2x TR3)
Forward/Reverse: 6 (2x TR4, 4x TR3)

According to (the INN Transcript of) Ben For The Chairman:

They are going to show the first large world map at GamesCom – you are orbiting a gas giant that is 182,000 km in diameter with 3 or 4 moons which will take 2.5 hours to go between the moons at top speed in the fastest ship; because of this they will have the quantum drive quick jump to get between stuff but it’s all in the same area/same level so no loading screens.

Quantum Drive confirmed, NOT 2.5 hrs across a solar system, 2.5 hrs between MOONS.

This is a response to prior estimates (responses to RTV's mistake, here) that solar systems are really tiny if regular thrusters can push a ship across solar systems in under 3 hrs.
