A Pre-Release build for BETA 4 is now available on the test branch. This latest BETA adds a new quick scanning ability along with the most bug fixes yet and many small quality of life changes.
Changes
Tactical Scanning
We have added a new tactical scan feature which allows you to quickly scan a target and reveal its mount locations. We hope the new scan ability will address a few issues with combat pacing, and improve combat overall.
To use the new scanning feature, simply left click any point on a target vessel, this will for a brief time reveal all mounts near the scan point. This scanning ability was added specifically to address issues during combat when wishing to target specific components. Previously the game required you to have a targets inventory open to view component locations which is not ideal and caused issues with interaction, including the inability to target those components.
To accommodate the scanning ability, inventory of a target is now accessed by pressing and holding left click for a brief time, or alternatively by pressing "U" on the keyboard whilst hovering over the target vessel.
Bug Squashing
For the second major component of this update we have squashed of over 100 bugs, ranging from the smallest typos to some significant, long lasting issues, in addition to many minor quality of life improvements.
Among some of the larger bugs we have fixed in this update are bugs with construction (mainly incorrectly splitting tiles off of objects, as well as constructions actions that are performed very quickly and losing sync with the server). The full extensive list of bugs fixed will be coming with the full BETA 4 release.
