SpaceCorps 2027 0.4.24 sets four drone formations to the numbers players asked for, draws the Shrike as a crab and the Gemini as a moth, and makes the lasers leave from each ship's own guns.
What's new
- Formations: Shrike +10% laser damage to aliens, +8% XP, -10% absorption. Centurion +25% on every honor you earn in flight (was +32% of kill honor). Gemini +15 shield penetration. Stiletto trades laser penetration for +35 rocket penetration (direct rockets).
- Shapes: the Shrike flies a crab, the Gemini a moth, and the Auger's drill sits closer to the ship.
- Lasers leave the guns of the ship's model: the Storm fires from its cannons and crescent rings, not the middle of its hull.
- A killing volley is one quick burst, nothing is shot at a wreck, and every bolt has its own pew.
- HUD: the Active Quests title and the chat tabs read whole, the ammo pop-up no longer covers the Danger Sector callout, toasts keep off window headers.
If you already play
- Update the game. A 0.4.23 game keeps working but shows the old formation numbers (the server uses the new ones at once).
- The Stiletto no longer pierces shields with lasers. The Centurion pays less per kill, but on quests claimed in flight too.
- No price, tier or research changed: you keep the formations you own.
