Added

• Warp To and Align To functionality in Sector. Radar contact icons can now be right clicked to access a new icon menu. From this menu, players can align their ship to a target or warp to it within a set range (current options are 50km, 100km and 250km 500km, in the future, these may be determined by command subsystems you have equipped). While the ship is aligning itself, use of the keyboard ship controls can cancel out of the auto-pilot. The warp can be canceled as before. We hope this new feature will help with navigating to stations and mission waypoints. If you open the Right Click Menu and want it to close again, right click anywhere off the target.
  
• Sound options are now active in the options menu.

Changed (Increased):

• MWD speed.
  
• Recharge time of the MWD system.
  
• Thrust values of all subsystems (1.5x)
  
• Roll Values of all engine subsystems
  
• Amount of durability provided by all armor plates increased significantly (2x)
  
• Range of all Radar Subsystems
  
• Size of Size 1 weapons Increased by 100%
  
• Size of Size 2 weapons Increased by 50%

Changed (General):

• The starter gear now has two identical engines, instead of two at random.
  
• Greatly reduced intensity of the dirt camera filter - feel free to enable it.
  
• All new asteroid models and textures.
  
• Transaction amounts in the store are now color coded: red indicates the player is paying a net amount, and green indicated a net gain.
  
• Updated Moon textures

Fixed

• Planets “wiggling” when the camera moves.
  
• Issue with blurry skybox
  
• A bug that allowed the player to repeatedly get the starter gear.
  
• Some scale inconsistencies for displayed speeds and ranges.
  
• An issue where roll values were not scaling with the size of the subsystem.
  
• Fixed a bug with subsystem prices in the store.

Newest patch is here everyone!

• Added:
  
  • Can now access the Options Menu when in game.
    
  • KV and Studio logos to splash screen.
    
  • Logic for when ships collide with planets.
    
  • Health Bars and Throttle Slider to UI.
    
  • Steamworks support for MacOSX and Linux.
    
  • Support for handling subscribing/unsubscribing workshop files in the Steam Overlay while in the Shipyard.
• Fixed:
  
  • Issues with loading of some workshop content.
    
  • Updating existing workshop files.
    
  • Asteroid belt variation around planets to spread out more.
    
  • Minor corrupted assets in main menu.
    
  • While in Shipyard, weapons should now properly highlight on mouse-over as other parts do.
• Persistent ship and station inventory first pass implementation notes:
  
  • When new galaxies are created, there is an option for Creative Mode.
    
  • When in Creative Mode, the game behaves as it did before this patch; any station has all parts and subsystems and they have no cost.
    
  • When not in creative mode, stations have a limited selection and the player must purchase ship parts and subsystems. The player starts with enough parts to build a simple ship and some credits. Ships now have an inventory using their available cargo space. Each station has a storage space that the player can store parts and subsystems in persistently.
    
  • The first time shipyard screen is now associated with a randomly chosen station in-game. The player will be near this station instead of in a random spot when entering Sector for the first time.
    
  • All players should make new galaxy saves.

Please create a new galaxy to see the changes!

We would like to open the competition for the best ships. A combination of the highest ranked ships as well as those selected by our team will be used in the completed version of Kinetic Void. To rank a ship, go through the Steam Workshop. You may also download user created ships directly from the Workshop at this time.

No copyrighted names may be used (USS Enterprise, Star Destroyer, etc.), this protects us and our users from copyright infringement.

• Steam Workshop support is now live, all ships can be shared with the community from inside the shipyard. Linux and Mac Workshop support are not in yet, we are working on this for the next patch
  
• Fixed a bug which allowed a galaxy with more factions than sectors to be created.
  
• Fixed a bug preventing the player from docking with a station.
  
• Fixed a UI bug in shipyard where tooltips would not display information correctly.
  
• Updated various UI icons and layouts.
  
• Fixed issue with recalculating center of mass of ship while in the ShipYard.
  
• Removed redundant screenshot capture command from ShipYard. (use F12 / Steam Overlay Screen capture, uploading images as public will add them to the community hub for all to see.)
  
• Ships now follow an entirely new save structure, this makes old ship designs incompatible from this build onward.
  
• Reduced performance impact when NPC ships enter the area near the player.
  
• Removed old ships from base game.
  
• Created several new stock ships
  
• Created several Color Profile
  
• Made several sweeping changes to stats on Modules and Subsystems, this will change the way ships are assembled, many systems and restrictions are still not implemented.
