Hey everyone! Beta 19.4 is now out! This one should include a fix for those of you who have reported performance issues while playing in VR. Additionally it contains a few other fixes and additions. We also tweaked the Auxiliary Reactor, making each option more powerful across the board, and added an Intruder Alert function. The Intruder Alert function should hopefully improve feedback about when the fight might be becoming more personal. For those of you who want to prevent enemies from boarding your ship (besides keeping your shield integrity up), you can pick up the new program “Quantum Defenses” which should ensure your quantum shields are online for a few crucial moments. Additions - Added more feedback for players when they try to customize their appearance or bot appearances, letting them know to visit a barber. -Players can now upgrade maneuvering thrusters and inertia thrusters -Main turrets can now be extracted -Ship thrusters can now be extracted -New Program: Quantum Defenses - Keeps your quantum shields online regardless on shield integrity or viruses (like gentlemens welcome) for 30 seconds. As long as a ship’s quantum shields are online, no enemies should be able to teleport. -New NPC uniform - Human Male and Female Scientist -New NPC uniform - Human Male and Female CU High Ranking Officer Changes -Extraction success rates have been slightly reduced -Tweaked the WD HQ Station galaxy map -Shield coprocessor charge rate has been increased Aux Reactor Changes -Auxiliary reactors values have been standardized based on the Intrepid -Spotlights and Interior lights have been merged and are now named Lights -Intruder Alarm has been added, it alerts the crew when enemies teleport onboard.
