After going throough a corrupted compile build on saturday we have patch update 1.1.1.46 live again. It has everything listed in the previous patch notes along with a few new things.
We lowered the cost of purchasing bombs for battle cruisers since they are a single use item.
When in a comet encounter in addition to firing at the comet to create research units you can now fire at the rock debris and will have a small chance to create a power crystal.
Fixed a bug that would crash the game while in combat.
Made a change in the lens overlay so now the color of the icon for the worm holes match the color of the type of worm hole. (Green, yellow and red)
********
So whats on the horizon for the next patch?
Will be adding a new ship bay module for the research vessel. This will only be available on a huge research vessel and will be a late game module. Since the research drone really loses it's value in combat mid to late game the new module will allow the research vessel to give a ship a one time shield. This shield will keep the ship totally safe from any damage, but is destroyed after it is hit. This will make research vessels a much butter combat support unit.
We will be removing the requirement of the transporter being used to pick up life forms with the planet lander. Now stunned life forms are picked up using the planet lander. The planet landers transporter will be used for additional content later.
Thats it for now...enjoy.
