• Left-clicking a barred option now won't do anything.
  
• Added X and C noting controls as alternative to right-clicking.
  
• Lengthened the moments of silence between tracks a little bit.

The long-awaited Behemoth Events DLC has landed in the Avorion default branch, together with Patch 2.4.1! Encounter legendary behemoth ships, enhance your ship with new subsystems, and face epic challenges as they ruthlessly attack sectors in the galaxy.

• Fight Behemoth bosses that will attack different sectors in the galaxy
  
• Collect unique subsystems with special properties dropped by these colossal bosses
  
• Dive into a dynamic experience as behemoths destroy and salvage entire sectors if left undefeated
  
• Enable or disable behemoth events at will
  
• Get it here: Avorion - Behemoth Event Series

We wanted to bring more life to the galaxy, so we're introducing many new bosses that you'll encounter while exploring. These bosses are tough to fight and will drop some fine loot! Each of them will have a unique encounter and sector to fight them in. Additionally, they'll have personal unique backstories that players can discover.


We've taken some steps to improve the escort AI behavior, especially when ships follow other ships through hyperspace. You can now see on the map how far your following ships can jump so that you don't accidentally lose them. On top of that, we've fixed some other issues and ensured that ships keep looking for the ship they were supposed to escort until it comes back into the sector or in hyperspace range.


Managing ships has received a big improvement: You can now remote-manage ships that are in the same sector as you. No more switching ships to dump some cargo or assign another captain! Sadly, due to technical limitations, we can't add this feature for ships that are outside of your current sector. We would have added it if we could!

The fleet overview has received some important quality-of-life changes, too. You can now filter, search, or remote-manage ships easily.

We've added tons of performance improvements, especially on the galaxy and in rifts. As always there are also many fixes for bugs that have been reported by users. Thank you so much and keep it up, everyone! Enjoy!

For more details on the other improvements and features coming with Update 2.4.1, check out the full patch notes here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/445220/view/3882728508898127857

Thank you all for your ongoing support! We are looking forward to seeing you all in Avorion!

2.4.1 is out of beta and live on the default branch! To enable Behemoth Events you now need have the Behemoth Event Series DLC installed.

If you weren't following beta releases, here are the combined changes since 2.3.2:

• When they're not defeated in time, they will destroy & salvage entire sectors
• Behemoths do not attack sectors with player-owned stations
• Behemoths can be enabled/disabled at will, but will be always disabled when the DLC is not installed
• You don't need the DLC installed to play on a multiplayer server which has the DLC enabled

• Adjusted slightly misleading Behemoth Carrier Systems description

"We're introducing many new bosses that you'll encounter while exploring the galaxy. These bosses are tough to fight and will drop some fine loot. Additionally, they'll have their own unique back stories that players can discover. Or ignore. You can do what you want. I'm not your boss. I'm just text."

• Added new bosses that will appear on the map
• Each boss has a unique arena they can be fought in
• Each boss has a unique background story for players to find

• Improved behavior for jumping after other ships when escorting/following
• Ships now warn after waiting for 5 minutes if they can't follow their escortee
• Ships can now find their escorted ship again when it returns into them, instead of cancelling the escort command

Hello Hunters!

We've been attentively listening to your feedback since releasing the devblog and fully grasp your concerns about weapon effective range. We've realised some outdated information in our previous devblog regarding shooting mechanics, which we've already revised based on early closed beta testers’ feedback. We apologise for any confusion caused.

• Red & Pink Crosshair: A red/pink crosshair indicates a narrower angle for full hits but doesn't solely guarantee glancing hits. Precise shooting can still achieve full hits. What this means is that in close-range combat with weapons that are not specialised for such range, such as Assault Rifles, you can still achieve a full hit so long as you shoot more accurately.
  
  Do note that this is not the case for long range weapons such as DMR or Sniper Rifles, as they should not be used for close-range-combat.

These mechanics were refined based on feedback from our closed beta players during early testing. Our aim is to ensure each gun type has its unique utility, encouraging varied tactical play. Note that this system is accuracy-based, not chance-based.

In the illustrations below, both shots show the angle based on effective range and cursor position (notice the cursor is over the enemy). The red indicates the estimated unit hitbox, while the yellow part of the hitbox shows where a shot needs to hit to be considered a full hit.

Illustration 1: With a white crosshair indicating full effective range, any hit on the large yellow hitbox area results in a full hit.


Illustration 2: With a red crosshair, indicating a range outside full effectiveness, a full hit is achievable by accurately hitting the smaller yellow hitbox area. The yellow hitbox area naturally moves in accordance with your and enemy position. Although challenging, precise shooting can yield full hits. It is actually easier than it looks. This aligns with the new crosshair placement discussed in the previous blog.


We appreciate your understanding and patience as we continue to refine ZERO Sievert. Your feedback is invaluable in this journey so please keep them coming!

Stay sharp out there!
