SpaceBourne 2 Early Access Ver. 1.8.0

• New missions have been added to the main storyline chain.
  
  
• If you are at the end of the Conqueror mission, you can start the meeting at the Capital station to receive new tasks.
  
  
• A new unique ship model related to the story has been added to the game.
  
  
• New buildings that can be established by the player faction have been added. Players can now build a factory, asteroid station, and research center.
  
  
• The effects and animations of some perks and talents have been improved.
  
  
• AI vs AI battles have been balanced.

Reported by players as follows :

• The income from the systems owned by my faction is not being added to the main income or is being added incompletely.
  
• The payment for the products I sell through trade ships is being transferred to my account incompletely.
  
• If I pause the game when landing on a planet, the locations of the buildings on the surface change when I resume playing.
  
• Mortha Geran ship - when buying it shows 4 weapon slots, but it only has 2.
  
• With a new save, I was able to build a capital station right away in the starter system 189, at player level 5, and without any resources like ore/tools/nukes.
  
• When warping to secret stations found with probes, I end up in empty space. (The exterior of the stations has been added to the game, but players still cannot enter the interiors of the stations.)
  
• If I use the Huqe-CMK-FC ship for the Kold mission, I can't hijack the target ship, I can't leave my own ship, and even if I progress in the mission, the warp drive never activates.
  
• Storing a ship, going mining, and coming back later had a stored ship that was shown as being T0 with no equipment.
  
• In the Momo rescue mission, Momo dies during the Momo Mech battle, and the mission does not progress. (We were unable to reproduce this bug, but we have taken measures to prevent it from happening.)
  
• The Wingmen squad screen widget UI gets duplicated until the game crashes.
  
• The Guild Treasury was capped at 999.999.999; now it is capped at 2.000.000.000 TY.
  
• When I try to use fast travel to go somewhere on some independent stations, it throws me out of the station.
  
• If I use the mining laser somewhere other than an asteroid (or rocks in caves), the game crashes. (We were only able to reproduce this issue with enemy ships and we have fixed the resulting crash in that scenario.)
  
• Somehow, a bit after using a Services Terminal inside Sonek station, my character could no longer interact with anything and would clip through objects. I ended up falling through the elevator.
  
• My drones get destroyed when I land on a planet's surface while they are outside.
  
• After warping, if the tactical map is open, the cursor gets stuck.
  
• Sometimes, when exiting the Pirate Station, the game gets stuck on the fade and doesn't progress.
  
• After giving the "break" command to the squad, they do not execute any commands I give within a few seconds (until the break sequence is over). But during this time, if I give the "warp away" command to the squad, the squad interface disappears, but the squad ships remain on the map.
  
• The cargo capacity progress bar displayed in the upper left corner keeps progressing as the cargo fills up, and if the cargo is too full, it goes outside the interface.
  
• There are no vendors other than the Ship market in Trade Hubs. (New markets have been added to the Trade Hubs)
  
• When the Faction treasury reaches the clamp value, it is reset to 0 with the next currency update.

Hello!
As previously reported, I am currently working on the storyline, and it is about 40-50 percent complete.
As it seemed to me, along with adding such a large piece of content to the game, is worth updating the visual component of the game. So I largely redesigned the game levels Jungle, Submarine. In addition, other levels have also been improved.
While I can offer a short video, which presents a new version of the submarine!
I won't stop there and will be sharing progress updates every month! Good luck!!!

-Made tutorial holos and dust swirls more subdued.
-Slightly restructured Tut1.
-Fixed early game friendly ships in custody still spawning with structure overhead.
-Fixed opened crates reverting to base color if carried and dropped.
-Fixed some newly introduced irregularities with inventory selection.
-Fixed some stray code making gear carousel background item icon go invisible when mods for equipped ships are activated.
-Fixed floating plasma vents in zone 4 (?).
-Fixed title music stopping when unpausing after changing volume option on title screen.
-Fixed problems with how [redacted]'s comms portrait is applied.

- 📡 Ui for reactor health will now have a better indicator for when the reactor is taking damage

These bugs have been squashed!

-Fixed tab screen being messed up if you die in the boss fight

-Fixed the game over screen saying you were killed by "unknown" if you died to the spitter boss's sticky projectile

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so this is almost exclusively so you guys know I’m not dead. I graduate college in two weeks, which is crazy to think about, and because of that, I’ve been super busy, and I probably will be until then. In the meantime, I’m continuing to do what I’ve been doing-- decorating, set dressing, and making more NPCs. Thankfully, there’s two weeks between when I graduate and when the game releases, so I have free time for more polish.

The game also passed 50 wishlists here recently, which I am very excited for. So I really hope there’s no major hidden bugs that need a day one patch 😅.

With less than a month left, I hope everyone is ready to play!

This update doesn't have any big new features, but does have some fun new pages, and I've adjusted the balance to enhance the realism of stats.

The first addition worth mentioning is a new 'Coaching Tree' tab in each coach's page. This allows you to see all the coaches they've worked with, both as a coordinator serving under them, or as a head coach serving over them. It's a cool way to see where coaches end up in their careers!



You can also now easily tell which coaches are on each team's staffs over time. In a team's 'Complete History' in their 'History' tab, you can now toggle between seeing the stats, or the coaches, for each year. A name is highlighted if they are new, so you can see how the staff changes over time much easier.



The last bigger UI change is improving the 'Matchup History' page to have a nice pie chart to show winning percentage, as well as stats about the matchup, including record in ranked or top 10 games, and things like largest margin of victory and longest winning streaks.



Finally, I've done some balance on the game sim engine. I've adjusted rushing by rewarding good defenses a bit more, so it will be a bit harder to run against a great front. I've also reduced completion chance in certain circumstances to reduce the number of 70%+ completion QBs seen.

There are also tons of little things added. See below for the full list of changes!

General:
- Add 'Coaching tree' tab for coaches
- Add 'Coaches' toggle for team history
- Improved 'Matchup history' page
- Added stars to each player in roster table
- Improved colors used in certain charts to match data
- Add 'Very slow' watch speed
- Added team stats table in watch mode
- Adjusted skill player award score calculations
- Adjusted initial player generation

Game sim:
- Increased stamina cost for RBs
- Adjusted how often runs are called for certain playbooks
- Rewarded better defenses for rushing plays
- Reduced completion chance for certain situations
- Teams will now use Dime defense more in obvious passing downs

Thanks for playing!
