Update v0.5.3: Narrative Intro, Re-designed Ship Info & Gas Hazard Refinements

Iron Graves · published

Scavengers, this update focuses on narrative depth and tactical clarity. We've introduced a new introductory storyboard to set the tone for your very first mission, overhauled ship diagnostics screens, and polished hazardous gas physics.

🎞️ New Mission Storyboard

Your journey through the derelict sectors now has a stronger narrative anchor:

  • Introductory Sequence: Added a custom, highly atmospheric storyboard sequence that triggers at the start of your first mission. Get a deeper glimpse into the story and the desperate state of your fleet.

📊 Redesigned Ship Info Window

Analyzing your next target derelict is now much cleaner and visually striking:

  • Visual Overhaul: The ship details popup window has been completely redesigned with a modern sci-fi interface.

  • Telemetry Layout: Information on ship size, threat detection, and decay level is now grouped logically, making strategic decisions faster and more intuitive before docking.

💨 Gas Hazard & System Polish

  • Gas Physics Fixed: Refined the dynamic behavior and flow logic of hazardous gas leaks, resolving edge cases where gas wouldn't spread correctly between rooms.

  • Visual Tweaks: Addressed several small UI bugs to ensure visual overlays scale correctly on widescreen monitors.
