Added approximate total supply cost to recover from deployment to ship tooltip

Huzzah!

The first couple of items (everything under "campaign") are probably... 10x the work of everything else in the notes. But it doesn't read as such, and it's more preparation for more-obviously-interesting stuff to come.

I'm hoping for many more details about this in the next blogpost, so we all can "appreciate" (read: drool over) it properly :)  Got any teaser pics, maybe?

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

Great patchnotes. Really looking forward to the trade system and see how you will incorporate it into the game.

As for the Falcon and Eagle, I feel they were overly greebled in a way that added visual noise rather than signal. So touched them up a bit to read more as overall designs rather than collections of meaningless details. They're still the same ships and look basically the same, mind you, it's just a "this was bugging me more and more as I kept seeing it so I just did it" thing.

Would be fun if we could see the sprites. I'm guessing the patch is going to take a while so you could atleast throw us a bone to chew on in the meantime.

What happened to 0.63 and 0.64? Or should I say 0.6.3 and 0.6.4...? :P

They asked too many questions ;)

Not quite yet on the pics - the trouble is that things become functional long before they become presentable. I do need to think a bit about what's going to be in the next blog post, though.

Fair enough - the new Eagle:

Hm, the eagle looks more 3D, as in more height and volume.

The smoothness looks wonderful but my problem with the eagle has always been that the central part over the guns doesn't look like its part of the ship, its like its been bolted on or something for increased firepower, or perhaps the central part is sloped down while the pylons on the side are flat, because that would explain it. This new eagle more or less fixes that problem with the reworked middle section.


on the left is me trying to merge the pylons and the central section together. on the right is the current eagle in the game.

can't wait for the new update, and certainly cannot wait for the improved ship sprites. ;)

YAY for new patch notes!
One slight concern though: I don't know that using the outposts button as the temporary intel button is a good idea as I think a few mods MIGHT use that button.

The Outpost button isn't even usable right now, I think.  Otherwise We'd already be far ahead of Alex. XD

My question is, are there plans to do the same thing to the Conquest? I love the new eagle graphic!

I really like the reworked center section on the Eagle, but I don't think it fits well with the rest of the ship.  It is comparatively quite smoothe, where the rest of the ship has this sort of "shingled" look about it.  I think either smoothing out the rest of the ship or roughing up the center a bit would fix it.

The Intel tab is going to be so useful, goodbye the times i lost a text message when tabbing into a character screen.

Hello,

im a new Member buyd the Game two days bevor. Very nice Game. But have the Game only 2 Sectors atm and 3 Stations?
Its a bit booring +i killed so "much" Pirates that not enough Enemys was in both Sectors for me. The Rest was small fleets and no challenge for me. Ok i can attack the orange, grey or blue Fleets but i wish not to lost my Support Stations.

Problem is now im Level 17 and see no Reson Play further. Nothing to Explore, no Enemys,  see all ships Weapons etc... and that all with 1 Capital Ship and a Frigatte both from the Technical Faction (blue).

How far was this Game from a Interesting upgrade? More Sectors, Factions, Stations, Missions, Diplomacy etc...?

btw i have a Suggestion add the Feature Exporting a Pilot (with or whithout fleet whatever...).
