Patch Notes - Version 2.0.1

Aug 17, 2022

The following release notes outline all the changes within the version 2.0.1 patch. The goal of this patch was to resolve the most commonly reported problems since the game's launch.

Additionally, we added tooltips to clarify the various areas of the UI that have not yet been fully fleshed out. We've not yet implemented the final UI and will continue to make improvements in the coming months. There were also some significant changes made to the quality of life in the game - mainly pertaining to the Atrox, docking, and mining.

After the release of this patch, the team will release a further patch in early September and a major release at the end.

UI Changes

Added tooltips for abilities and other UI elements.
Added Commander Level bar in the Ability Bar.
Added ship level display under the ship name when docked in the shipyard.
Implemented the menu bar as designed. The previous was a placeholder.
Added rewards in the Commander Level panel.
Changed the shipyard dock button to be much clearer. It now appears much earlier, and is prominently positioned above the Ability Bar.
Added a popup when the connection to the game server is lost. The player will also be sent back to the title screen.
Added a back button in the Galaxy Map.

Launcher

Improved game download.
Minor UI improvements.
Added an option to select a new Google account after you've already logged in with Google.

Balance

Atrox damage output has been reduced by 25% across all units.
Reduced self-repair time by 25%.
Ships can now be repaired for USF credits at space stations.
Set minable objects closer to spawn points in all POIs.

Bug Fixes

Fixed some mission issues:
- USF CADET TEST: mission's objective randomly changed status from “done,” to “to do.”
- All missions occasionally resulted in multiple rewards once completed.
- Instead of displaying a new step after completing the previous one, steps were displayed in sequence.
- There are times when a completed mission can reappear in the same POI where you just completed it.
Fixed some spelling mistakes in the Galaxy Map.
Fixed Commander Level problems in which the XP was not assigned currently, therefore halting progression.
Fixed the issue causing fleet color to disappear from the customization menu.
Corrected ship icons in the ship upgrade panel.
Fixed an issue that spawned a player with another player ship and username.
Fixed the ships level progression in which stats were being calculated erroneously.
