Welcome aboard Koalas! A brand new crew member joins the fight.
Koala: Mobile Medic
- A new support crew class: charge up “medballs” at any Medbay, then drop them off for wounded crew
- Each medball contains a restorative elixir worth 25hp
- Koalas can carry two medballs and drop them one at a time:
- Use the drop button (just like gems), or “E” on keyboard
- Medballs expire if not picked up after 30 seconds
- Medballs can be filled at any active medbay, in or out of battle:
- Medballs fill even while a Koala is healing, or in secondary seats with Medbay Amplifiers installed
- Koalas auto-swap into the main seat on a Medbay if they have medballs to fill and there are no wounded crew queued ahead
- Koalas can drop medballs whether healthy or knocked
- Any wounded crewmate can pick up a medball, including the Koala that dropped it (self revives!)
- During battle, Koalas will receive 150 score for each of their medballs consumed
- Medball and Gem inventories are separate; Koalas can carry both
Enhancements:
- Green Gems:
- Each green gem has a deposit value of 3
- Drop rate is ~5%
- Mysterious eucalyptus aura our scientists can’t quite figure out...
- Twitch Drops 3:
- New campaign featuring "Nurse K" Koala outfit launching September 25th
- Crew follow cam:
- On desktop, right-click on any crewmate to activate "cam follow" mode on that player. Useful to check out an outfit or highlight a player on stream. Pan away to end "follow" mode.
Content:
- Koala launches with 8 outfits: the free "classic" look, two data key variants, and 5 premium outfits: Doc, Outback, Skuba, Beach Bum, and K-Bot
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug where a Captain could get stuck at a sector exit if First Mate jumped but didn’t select a reward
- Fixed a bug where the Steam overlay would not appear on Mac, blocking purchases
- Fixed an issue where some Steam names with spaces were not processed correctly and appeared as default “Crewmate”
See you aboard!
