Patch Notes — v0.9.107


🛸 New Features

  • New Legendary Crew: Introduced Dracorpse, an all-new Legendary tier crew member!

  • Drop Ship System: Space Drop Ships are now live! Intercept Drop Ships across the galaxy to claim daily rewards, track weekly schedule unlocks (Mon/Tue/Wed), and watch optional ads for bonus rewards.

  • Crew Wandering Toggle: Added an option in settings to disable crew members from wandering around your ship.

  • Google Account Login: Added Google Login support for quick and secure account authentication.

  • Tap-to-Target Controls: You can now tap room targets directly in combat as an alternative to dragging targeting lines.


⚖️ Balance & Systems Updates

  • Daily Missions Expansion:

  • Lower Unlock Requirement: Faction Level 3 daily missions (Federation, Pirate, Qtarian, Grey) now unlock at Ship Level 3, significantly reducing progression gating.

  • Increased Daily Attempts: Level 3 daily attempt limits raised from 5 to 7 per day.

  • New Level 2 Dailies: Added brand-new Level 2 faction daily missions for all four factions (Moon Patrol!, Patrol Lanius Station, Patrol Panopticon Station, and Your Next Target).

  • Faster Combat Cadence: Adopted a standardized 0.25s battle AI decision rate, resulting in noticeably faster and steadier battle pacing.

  • Drop Ship Reward Tuning: Updated auto-selection formulas and rebalanced drop rates for Drop Ship rewards.


🎨 UI & Quality of Life Improvements

  • Market & Crafting Interface: Updated Market UI layout, refreshed Craft Gear UI, added new character gear icons, and reordered reward preview lists by drop probability.

  • Active Room Bonuses: Room bonus text now turns green when active so you can immediately tell when bonuses are applied.

  • Notification Indicators: Added a red notification dot to the bottom chat button for unread inbox messages and pending friend requests.

  • Android Stat Preview: Android stats are now visible in studio detail views and the research tree.

  • Alliance Flags: Reworked alliance flag visuals and updated internal badge design handling.

  • Audio & Visual Polish: Fixed FTL escape sound effects ignoring master volume settings and smoothed power bar layout scaling.

  • Crew Management: Fixed duplicate character insertion bugs and removed redundant save calls after character upgrades for improved performance.

Combat & Battle Fixes

  • PvP Matchmaking: Fixed an issue where tapping or zooming on enemy ships before the auto-start timer expired triggered unintended battle starts.

  • Boarding & AI Targeting: Fixed a bug where donated troops were incorrectly targeted as enemies during boarding actions and AA targeting.

  • Combat Performance: Applied battle performance optimizations, fixed ship explosion bugs, resolved dead-character crashes in ground battles, and fixed turret module loss issues.

Missions & Dungeons

  • Fixed recommended ship level logic display errors.

UI & Stability Fixes

  • Fixed crashes occurring when capturing ship layouts or expanding monthly leaderboards.

  • Resolved intro preloading issues, missing Starlog news timestamps, and character headdress un-equipping bugs.
