Greetings Commanders!

Ok here it is, the biggest ship in the game, ever! Credits to hs0003 and the community! :D
I can't promise you'll like it, but I'm sure you'll love it.

Here is the Discord suggestion post: https://discord.com/channels/463167440864673792/1310659983574307056/1310659983574307056

Patch Notes:

  • Added the first Kraken size ship: The Tri-Cerberus (special unlock :skull:).
    Dev Note: This was purely based on the community request (over 100 :rocket: votes on the Discord suggestion!). So don't expect it to be *super* functional... you know, it's a Kraken! :smile:

  • Added unique weapon: Redfang.

  • Reduced Heavy Vulcan ammo cost from 2 to 1.

  • After reaching level 50, you now gain a skill reset point for each 5 million XP gained.

  • Auto Repair equipment now requires 4 spaces instead of 8. It's energy cost is now relative to the ship's HP instead of its size class. It now also repairs a flat amount of HP, not only a percentage. So it's now much cheaper (and effective) in smaller ships while more expensive in ships with massive HP.

  • Added a low level (TL 4) repair equipment: Simple Repair System. The 2 existing ones were renamed to Improved and Superior Repair Systems.

  • Using Jumpgates with dreadnought+ sizes is now easier.

  • Improved Reactor Overload tooltip explanation.

  • Increased Collector beam's range by a good amount (based on ship size) and speed by 5 points.

  • Faction HQs are no longer lost when you destroy all stations. This is meant to prevent future content loss, as I want to add more interactions on those, like quests or the AI rebuilding their stations, etc.

  • Updated Korean localization.

  • Added Japanese localization.

  • Fixed Russian language errors.

  • Fixed Repair efficiency stacking multiplicatively instead of additive.

  • Fixed AI not helping nearby allies in combat.

  • Fixed a few sentences lacking translation.

  • Fixed AI ships spawning with no ammo.

  • Fixed Geraki spawning with power levels in 300% instead of 200%.

  • Fixed Drone Parts not being translated on drone recalling.

Follow up fixes:

  • Updated Russian and Chinese translations.

It has been a while since last update, so I apologize for the delay, as well as for the taking so long to fix the "unarmed ships bug".
