Dearest private jet frequent flyers and office drones
What is the point of owning a private jet if you cannot use it to turn around mid-flight and land wherever the hell you want?
Inspired by feedback we got, this is exactly what private jets do now in holonoptic.
A new, more shiny business opportunity suddenly came up? Just turn that jet around without having to land at your planned destination first.
Note that you will have to acquire private jet fleets to use this feature.
Apart from this, with the release next week in mind, the focus of this patch was more final polish and less introduction of new features.
Again, thank you so much for the diligent feedback that brought this next round of improvements:
1.7.0
Fixes
- "Prepare for the qMolecule acquisition" tutorial-deadline now completes after qMolecule is acquired
- Harden against messages sometimes not being played, or being played only after later events fire
- Executive selection menus on floors and missions are now modal, meaning they have to be closed before interacting with other UI elements => prevents an error where executive selection menu would seemingly stay hidden
Features & gameplay
- Large assets & synergies such as private jet fleets cannot be sold on the black market anymore
- Private jet fleets now allow executives to change their destination mid-flight
