Beta Branch Patch 2.0.5 - Patchnotes

Beta Branch Note: These changes are currently available on the beta branch. The beta branch is for testing experimental changes and for finding and fixing errors. This is how you get access to the beta branch (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK): Right-Click on Avorion in your Steam list, Properties -> Betas -> Select branch 'Beta Branch - Newest Changes & Experimental Features'.

Gameplay

"More general QoL for everyone! Ships now stop when they don't have a salvaging license in a scrapyard, gems now have a purpose, and we've added a 'stealthy' swiftness so that you can tell your ships more safely to fly somewhere with minimal attack problems."

Salvage AI now stops when its salvaging license runs out
Gems are now bought by Habitats and Casinos
Added a "stealthy" swiftness for travel command with very low attack probability but high travel time
Commodores of escorting ships now properly reduce attack chance for Travel Command
AI ships can now use armed auto turrets to defend themselves while mining/salvaging
'Dock to station', 'peaceful patrol' and 'refine ores' AI states now set the ship to 'passive' instead of 'idle' to avoid spinning
Asteroids are now guaranteed in scrapyard sectors to avoid mining ships appearing and doing nothing
Captains can now no longer be Intimidating and Harmless at the same time

Balancing

"We're buffing the normal delivery missions to make them more worthwhile, and there will be more missions available in general. We're also changing the mine/salvage operation safe mode, and you won't be able to use absolute minimum effort ships in areas where they're obviously outclassed. It's been pointed out to us that sending a 2 slot iron ship to mine for 4h in (1:1) without it being in any danger doesn't feel balanced and we agree. They'll need to be at least a little bit on par with ships in the area or you'll have to use an escort to protect them."

Doubled base rewards for delivery missions
Delivery mission bonus reward now scales with location in the galaxy
Doubled base rewards for resource shortage missions (now 4x the good's price)
Resource shortage mission bonus reward now scales with location in the galaxy
Increased number of available bulletin board missions
Increased likelihood of Tier III captain mission
Mine Operation's safe mode now reduces attack chance by 90% instead of setting it to flat 0%
Salvage Operation's safe mode now reduces attack chance by 90% instead of setting it to flat 0%
Energy drain of energy to shield converter is now static for each rarity
Increased prices of energy to shield converter upgrades to be more on par with other upgrades
Increased fluctuation of the amount of goods available through trade contracts
Reduced reputation gain of a few side missions from +10000 to +7500 to make them more on par with other missions
Clearing out a pirate sector now grants +3500 reputation to a nearby faction

UI

"Some more UI QoL improvements, enjoy!"

Added an alternative view for ship weapon overview that doesn't fill out the selection by slot, but by turret
Added better error messages as to why a captain can't sell something (esp. which good is problematic)
Readded display of total crew salary
Escorting ships now additionally show the description of their escorted ships
Added a config option to enable/disable encyclopedia pop ups
Improved Translations
Improved rendering performance of map tag icons when there are many icons

Indie Simulation Singleplayer Multiplayer Coop

Combat

Equip your ship with chainguns, lasers and other weaponry to take on your enemies and enjoy the sight of completely destructible ships breaking at the exact points where you hit them. Defend your allies from pirates, hunt down enemies for coin or even participate in wars between entire factions. Build hangars and command squads of fighters in your battles or destroy enemy freighters to steal their cargo.

Explore

Fly through beautiful nebulas and dense asteroid fields in search of hidden treasures and meet the many factions that populate and control their portion of the galaxy. Each faction has its own characteristics, such as peaceful, intelligent or aggressive, and has its own ship styles, meaning their ships and stations have a distinct look.

Explore the galaxy at your own pace to find valuable goods in old ship wreckages, undiscovered asteroid fields rich of resources, unchartered asteroids which you can claim for yourself, or clues as to what happened during the event a few hundred years back.

Build Your Fleet

There are no limits to ship size or complexity besides your resources. You're not bound to the standard voxel style and while building an awesome ship in Avorion you won't get lost in lots and lots of micro-management. You can focus on building a great looking ship, without having too much trouble to make it work. But make sure you still keep an eye on your ship’s maneuverability or energy requirements. Adjust your ships perfectly to their operational purpose by building light and agile or heavily armored ships.

Build specialized transport ships with lots of cargo space or heavily armored battleships with strong shields. Collect loot from defeated foes which you can use to upgrade your ship: New turrets, resources, trading goods or system upgrades. Install system upgrades that allow more weapons, ease asteroid mining or trading systems which detect trading routes over multiple sectors.

And why build only one ship? Hire captains to fly your ships for you, manage your crews, weapons, hangars and fighters and build your own fleet of space ships!

Trade

Extend your ship with a cargo bay, find profitable deals and haul over a hundred trading goods through the galaxy to make a profit and buy your way up the food chain: Build up a trading corporation and extend your influence in the galaxy by founding asteroid mines and factories that attract NPC traders who will buy and sell their goods at your establishments.

Co-op Multiplayer

You don't have to fight the galaxy alone! Avorion features co-op multiplayer, so team up with your friends to build stations together and destroy pirates and enemy factions! Work together to extend your influence in the galaxy and build your own empire. Or, you know, blow them apart in large PvP battles. It's a sandbox, you can do whatever you want.

In Avorion you choose your personal playstyle. Haul cargo, find profitable trading routes and found factories. Or maybe you're sick of being the good guy? Build your own battleship, equip it with powerful weaponry and blow away your enemies. Be the aggressor that starts wars with entire factions, raid freighters, smuggle illegal goods and scavenge old wreckages. Find your way to the center of a galaxy that gets more hostile, but also more rewarding the closer you get to its core.
