The next DLC, the frequently requested Titans are under construction and will reach Gemini in November.

Oh... and we also have an update ready and released :).

• FIXED: An error that would cause the game to crash when accessing the Starchart after all nebulas were removed from the game world

ORIGINS ON STEAM

Here's a little something from us here at LGM :). We've been working hard to get this DLC out. It's free as stated before and as promised in Early Access. It's a THANK YOU from us to You, the community, for your support and dedication, and for putting up with us all this time. We couldn't have wished for more.

I won't bore you too much. Below is the list of fixes we've done for the vanilla game and Secrets of Aethera which you might also find useful ;).

IMPORTANT: Since there were some major changes in the game world, please note that any mod should be made specifically for Origins so it would work properly (depends on what the mod changes of course).

If you encounter any problems, let us know :).

You know how this last bit goes already:
Safe travels, Captains! :)

CHANGE LIST

• FIXED: An issue where Iolian NPCs would equip Unique codename weapons
  
• FIXED: An issue where enemies would launch wings with zero fighters
  
• FIXED: A problem preventing Cloak stability parameter to work as expected
  
• FIXED: A bug concerning Targeting mode and cutscenes/dialogue segments where the player doesn't have the control of his/her ship
  
• FIXED: A database error in the localized versions that could cause the game to crash
  
• FIXED: An error in At an empire's end mission with ships exploding in advance
  
• FIXED: Numerous text errors
  
  • Thanks for this goes to Unbroken as he's done the additional proofreading.
• FIXED: A typo in the DerelictOnDestroy.sal script preventing it from reaching its full potential.
  
• FIXED: An error that could in some cases cause the game to crash when storing a ship into the garage
  
• FIXED: Old friends mission - A bug where boarding a structure you're supposed to destroy would break the mission
  
• UPDATED: Gladius group bounty hunters now T-jump in closer to the player. When you see their message on screen, you'll spot them on the radar as well.
  
• UPDATED: Sorting ships by ship class when generating Freelance missions. You should no longer be fighting against level 1 freightliners. This can still happen, but not as frequently.
  
• UPDATED: Mod Manager to reflect the addition of the Origins DLC
  
• ADDED: Logitech Extreme 3D Pro throttle(slider) support. If you're using keyboard/mouse control scheme, you can now manually bind the slider to accelerate/decelerate
  
• ADDED: Tooltips for context menu in Controller mode
  
• ADDED: Scripterion2 to provide more functionality and ease-of-use. In time this will replace the original Scripterion altogether.

Greetings captains!

Greetings captains,

It's been awhile since our last update, but we have been working. Unfortunately, not everything is ready just yet. Our biggest announcement is the upcoming free DLC featuring a complete storyline, even longer than the original campaign. As we promised, we've been recreating the storyline from Starpoint Gemini 1 and it should become available in June! We'll make sure to announce the release as soon as we're ready!

But, let's return to the business at hand. What's this update about? Several things:

• Preparations for the upcoming free DLC
  
• Standard assortment of minor fixes
  
• And last, but nowhere near least: French localization. ALL credit goes to the esteemed gentleman by the name of Sébastien Gigot, a member of this amazing community, who took it upon himself to translate the entire game to French.
  Mr. Gigot, we owe you a debt of gratitude we can hardly repay. THANK YOU!

As always, if you encounter problems, let us know and we'll do our best to answer and help as fast as possible.

And finally we come to the already standard change list:

CHANGE LIST

• ADDED: Follow mission button, which comes in handy when juggling several missions at once
  
• FIXED: Active Only button on the logs panel, now properly toggles between active/non-active missions
  
• ADDED: New mission markers (on the HUD and the Starchart) for acquired/followed missions
  
• ADDED: Campaign missions now have mission-appropriate images
  
• FIXED: Several errors in the Cat and Mouse campaign missions (Shinova problem)
  
• FIXED: Several minor errors in Second Front Baeldor side mission
  
• ADDED: Throttle/Slider implemeted for Thrustmaster Flight Hotas X, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, Cybord F.L.Y. 5 flight stick. ship speed should now properly change according to the position of the joystick's throttle/slider.
  
• FIXED: Some issues with resetting to default controls. Full Gamepad control (for Xbox controllers) should now properly load the correct controls at game start-up and the "Reset" button at Options->Controls should now reset the controls for the appropriate controller.
  
• UPDATED: Support for the following controllers:
  
  • Logitech F710 Wireless Controller
    
  • Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510
    
  • Thrustmaster Flight Hotas X
    
  • Logitech Extreme 3D Pro
• FIXED: A bug where you were sometimes unable to accept a main mission (pressing Accept didn't start the mission)
  
• UPDATED: Minor changes in the flare system
  
• FIXED: Minor fixes in the Defense platform hitpoints calculations
  
• UPDATED: File loading system improved (optimized for mods and DLCs)
  
• FIXED: A potential problem related to News panels on stations where the game was attempting to access the wrong region
  
• FIXED: A potential problem related to loading textures on some graphics cards
  
• FIXED: A potential problem when drawing asteroids on some graphics cards
  
• FIXED: A potential problem when drawing junkyard on some graphics cards
  
• FIXED: Several fixes and improvements in the game log recording
