02-10 - 1.1.00 "Community Goals" [E:D BackupWiki] (2024)

French and German translations updated

When an NPC kills the player, report any claimed bounties to the webserver so they can be cleared; clear relevant bounties on client

Fixes for some issues with docking computer:

Slow down when on final part of descent to pad, to avoid damage; if station is rotating the chosen speed has to be greater than the rotational velocity at the pad

Fix some issues on outposts with the chosen point above the pad being inside or too close to the bounding volume of the outpost

Allow NPCs to travel faster in the first stage of moving to an outpost

Ensure NPCs ignore outposts as obstacles when in final descent

Fixes to stop awkward ships like the Python from hovering over the pad while docking, because they aren't trying to get close enough

Improvements to getting NPCs to leave a crowded station when player is denied docking permission

Fix issues where 3D anaconda and Orca ship schematics clip parts of the UI

Fix the case of missing black hole effects when three are in a system and forces background stars to render when the visible distortion is very high

Fix the texture values on the mining laser heatsinks so that they don't colour pop when deploying

Fix the rare background brightness curve popping between low luminosity stars.

Add a 'planning route' graphic to cover the loading of the plot

Add the Repairable component to several modules that otherwise couldn't be repaired by AFM modules. Discovery scanners, Detail scanners and Thrusters are all now repairable in the field

Fix some missing system descriptions

Collision damage update:

• Damage is now calculated at both ends and each apply half, it should no longer be possible for one party to miraculously escape undamaged from a collision

• Changed the mass/velocity to damage calculation, it should now be more consistent and harder to damage large ships with small ones, even at high speed

Store whether the system map was entered from galaxy map or co*ckpit, and invoke appropriate transition out back to the previous state

Notice when route finder fails to find a route and replace the progress spinner with unavailable route text

When generating scenarios that lie outside the containment area of their body, update the address to be relative to the correct parent (the same one ships will use if they drop into those scenarios). Most noticable when unable to stay in nav beacon scenarios near a close binary pair of stars

Implement sort by Mass, Power Draw and Name for outfitting items

Star temperature used for driving colours clamped to sensible range based on Harvard and Yerkes classification

Automated turret fire shouldn’t aggro non-hostile ships

Make AI use turrets correctly, and ignore the default

Fix the barrels on guns spanning back to the identity position when they stop spinning

When the player accidentally hits an AI ship damage is accumulated. If a threshold is exceeded (by multiple hits or a powerful weapon like a rail-run), the ship turns hostile. The AI ship will „forget“ the damage before it turns hostile:

1. if the AI ship recharges its shield to 100%.

2. if a (currently 30 sec) timer runs out.

Make the system apply to stations as well.

Large lateral thrusters now have settings consistent with small and medium thrusters. Balanced lighting and fade in/out durations

Federal Fighter art fixes

If a ship is scanned by the police and they discover that it has a bounty, don't turn the station hostile, just get the police to attack

Shield cells generate heat while charging

Abort the docking process if the station becomes hostile during it

Clear boost state when docked

Don't scan if the advanced scanner module is disabled

Landing pad numbers now consistently numbered front-to-back then clockwise in stations (in other words, bones 0 and 12 swapped over, so that pads 1 and 13 are now in their correct places). Also checked Outposts and fixed pad numbers there too, so that the medium pad is always the highest pad number

Balancing pass on Plasma Point Defence

Balancing pass on dumbfire weapons

Rebalanced heat gain in certain weapons (Beam laser, Missile Rack, ECM, Chaff, Plasma Accelerator, Pulse Laser)

Supercruise lens flares now smaller when close to them

More detail and softer/more subtle sun rays in star lens flare

Turn on the aim-blocked checking for all weapons set in a Fire at Will or Target only mode

Up the rate of damage the python receives from overheating

Increase the timer before dishing out a bounty for trepassing in a station to 90 seconds from 30. People in big heavy ships should be able to avoid being killed for that mistake

Spark and most debris particles now disabled in low FX quality setting.

Added star class filter to the galaxy map

Prevent infinite stream of pirates in extraction zones

Set up Distance Based Lodding for explosions

The UI focus mode toggle button closes the chat pane if you wait a few seconds when it is selected fixed

Make low influence minor factions able to generate missions at a comparable rate to influential minor factions

Atmosphere colour and intensity tweaked for gas giants and reduced saturation of neon atmospheres

Fix a mistake in the English version of the description for type II gas giants, it had been replaced by the description for type III gas giants

Fixed searching for stations, it now correctly cycles between all systems that contain a station with that name

Also fixed searching using generated system names so that it only matches systems that have that name, rather than also matching to authored systems

Reputation in the mission summary screen now includes the contribution from the major faction
