BETA 3 Pre-Release Build 1 Now Available
One of the major issues with the game previously was once in warp, everyone just kind of ignored you, whether they liked you or not. Not anymore. Now different types of regions can spawn and they will behave differently. Fleets now on patrol will turn towards you if you get too close, and chase you should you flee, before ultimately starting a fight if they can catch you. Likewise, fleets can now spawn when a player does certain actions (like faction loss or tile destruction) that have one intent only, chasing you down and killing you like the spacedog that you are.
Overall the spawning algorithm has been enhanced to be more engaging on a player-centric level, now spawning dynamic regions around players, instead of strewn randomly across the star system, even if no one is near to see it. Little did you know, but some Distress Calls were actually Ambushes. These regions will be more obvious once you've tripped the ambush. Finally, hostile ships will engage you immediately once out of warp, instead of the previous "wait for X seconds" behavior.
We've also sat down and looked at Discovery and started implementing a number of improvements there. Now visible at warp, a region that has been visited will have additional information displayed. Things like whether an Assembler is present (like a shipyard), a trader is known to be available, or if combat is currently happening. Additionally, you'll find traders who will sell you information about the star system, saving you potential time and effort, but at a cost. As usual there are several smaller improvements that will be noted in the final release patch notes along with fixes to a number of issues reported from BETA 2 and 2.1. If you would like to check out this pre-release build all the usual things apply, it will have problems (some of which we know about) and it may break your universe.

Changes
Warp Is No Longer Safe
One of the major issues with the game previously was once in warp, everyone just kind of ignored you, whether they liked you or not. Not anymore. Now different types of regions can spawn and they will behave differently. Fleets now on patrol will turn towards you if you get too close, and chase you should you flee, before ultimately starting a fight if they can catch you. Likewise, fleets can now spawn when a player does certain actions (like faction loss or tile destruction) that have one intent only, chasing you down and killing you like the spacedog that you are.
Better Region Spawning
Overall the spawning algorithm has been enhanced to be more engaging on a player-centric level, now spawning dynamic regions around players, instead of strewn randomly across the star system, even if no one is near to see it. Little did you know, but some Distress Calls were actually Ambushes. These regions will be more obvious once you've tripped the ambush. Finally, hostile ships will engage you immediately once out of warp, instead of the previous "wait for X seconds" behavior.
Improved Discovery
We've also sat down and looked at Discovery and started implementing a number of improvements there. Now visible at warp, a region that has been visited will have additional information displayed. Things like whether an Assembler is present (like a shipyard), a trader is known to be available, or if combat is currently happening. Additionally, you'll find traders who will sell you information about the star system, saving you potential time and effort, but at a cost.
