Well, as it stands now, hardpoints are twice as tough to disable (this is in 0.52.1a). I'm not entirely sold on going beyond that - that's a lot of extra complexity/rules the game has to explain to the player.

Yeah, it seems like it'd make sense to add more abilities if hardpoints were competing with turrets, but they're not- they're competing with 'Not filling that slot'. The Medusa is the only ship I can think of where you might actually have hardpoints & turrets competing in some situations (the small universal & front 2 small energy for things like AM Blasters if you're using lots of high-OP gear like burst PD and can't afford to fill both).

So, since the release candidate is apparently working well, is there any chance for some last-minute additions to the patch notes? I'm sure the people who don't frequent the modding section would love to know about that new shield-adding hullmod

[Faiter119]

Indeed, cant be to much to add after the release candidate. Mainly bug fixes I suppose.

Officially released!

I'll do one better - update the patch notes and release the new version

Things and stuff. Of the campaign variety. (Yes, that's as specific as I'm going to get right now.)


At the moment, I'm waiting for something to break horribly so that I have to fix it, and hoping against all hope that it won't happen

[CrashToDesktop]

Don't worry, as a dev we all know you want to find bugs and squish them for that sense of achievement.
Anyways, exciting new patch here.  I could have sworn I found a bug already, but it slipped my mind...

EDIT:
Got it!  Free-roam for the drones doesn't work.  They stay in formation around the ship.
