As promised, we have added a new playable ship to Supporters Pack DLC, the Riggy. This Mobile Maintenance Rig starts in a bad shape due to years of rough use, but holds promise for those patient enough to upgrade its weaponry and defences. The spaceous vessel starts with poor technology, but large crew, and containers full of raw resources.
We've also made smaller improvements and removed a cosmic creature (called "anomaly") from level 8 that was so anomalous it occasionally managed to break the entire universe of Shortest Trip and break the game for some players. Who would have thought anomalies could do that, right? Complete changelog below.
Changelog
- Added a new ship to Supporters DLC: The Riggy
- Added language dropdown to main menu page, to be used in community translation.
- Removed a glitchy anomaly in level 8 which broke the game for some players
- Improved the ECM value of some artifact modules
- Made anti-shield DIY nuke cheaper
- Pirate queen has now slightly less hp
- Localization tsv files are now loaded from both game install dir and all workshop dirs.
