0.9.1.6

This update focuses on improved service docks, better POI intel, clearer rewards, save recovery fixes, and balance changes for socket bonuses.

Service Dock Improvements

• Service docks now offer more useful system services, including integrity repair, drawback removal, and system tier upgrades.

• Weapon tuning now only allows a maximum of 2 temporary weapon boosters at once.

• Stores and service docks now stay open after purchases where appropriate, making it easier to buy or apply multiple upgrades.

• Used service dock options now become unavailable instead of being purchasable again during the same visit.

Better Item and Reward Clarity

• Updated many item, augment, drone, and socket bonus descriptions to show their actual effect values.

• Replacement prompts now show clearer tier comparisons.

• System tooltips now show clearer total value information.

• Socket reward jobs can no longer be turned in if there is no eligible installed system.

• Socket reward tooltips now show an error when blocked: ERROR: Must have an installed system with less than 3 sockets.

• Socket rewards no longer fall back into generic module loot when they cannot be applied.

Socket Bonus Balance

• Flat-value socket bonuses were converted into percentage-based effects to prevent extreme stacking.

• Impact Dampeners was reworked from flat hull damage reduction into percentage-based low-hull damage reduction.

• Impact Dampeners now only activates while hull is at 25% or less.

• Overflow Baffles now reduces shield overflow damage by 10%, no longer scales by tier, and now activates only when shields break, reduces the next hull hit once, then turns off.

• Old saves with higher Overflow Baffles values are now clamped and displayed as 10%.

• Vector Thrusters now only improves missile evasion instead of general evasion.

• Shield Leech now only restores shield while current shield is below 50%.

• Proc Amplifier now only boosts on-hit chance while shields are down.

• Drone Damage now correctly applies as a runtime percentage bonus, but only while hull is below 50%.

• Max shield, max fuel, max hull, salvage value, and weapon damage socket bonuses now scale by percentage.

• Reactive Pulse now deals damage based on weapon damage.

• Shield Overload now deals damage based on max shield.

• Miss Ledger now adds percentage damage to the next hit after each miss.

• Vector Thrusters tier scaling was reduced to prevent runaway evasion stacking.

Improved POI Intel

• POI hover information has been expanded and reorganized.

• POIs can now show salvage count, enemy count, distance, fuel cost, threat level, and faction information.

• Minimal POI info now shows reinforcement wave count, salvage count, and starting enemy count when available.

• Certain POIs now contain more derelicts and enemies.

• Salvage count is now pre-rolled per POI so previews better represent what is waiting at that destination.

HUD and UI Polish

• Added small HUD animations when Hull, Fuel, XP, and Credit values increase.

• Main Drone HP and respawn progress are now shown more clearly in the top HUD.

• Added sector and area display to the top HUD.

• Updated several card visuals for cleaner and more consistent UI.

Core Upgrade Changes

• Hull Repair Speed has been replaced with Hull Jump Repair, which repairs the ship on each jump.

Fixes

• Fixed old saves that could load into a stranded state with no usable POIs.

• Fixed Reroute being consumed even when it failed to restore a usable route.

• If a save is near the final jump, navigation recovery now restores the Jump Gate instead of spawning hidden normal POIs.

• Added passive recovery for old saves that load with no usable navigation route.

• Fixed pause behavior while the upgrade menu is open.

• Fixed pursuit ambushes being able to trigger on Jump Gate POIs.

• Fixed job terminals being treated like paid service prompts.

• Fixed several service dock edge cases around repeat purchases and unavailable targets.

• Fixed Death Defy timing to avoid deprecated timing behavior.

• Added old-save conversion for several changed socket bonus values.

• Improved several labels, tooltips, and localization strings.
