AMS2 is now updated to V1.6.5.0; the latest release focuses on bug fixes, various improvements to existing car & track content along with some fresh Quality-of-Life developments before the introduction of new content over the next few weeks. 

Some highlights of the update include support for launching AMS2 straight to the MP lobby via web browser;  To launch into a dedicated server from a web browser combine the  'Steam Browser Protocol' with the new '-connect' cli switch to create a url like the example below, substituting items in angled brackest as appropriate:

Hi guys,

I've been working hard on the update! Right now, we’re at 1900+ renders and 113 animations, and I’m still rendering new scenes as we speak. I’m really happy with how the episode is shaping up, and I’m confident that by the time it’s fully done, it’ll be more than worth the wait.

I’m aiming for a release in August, but we’ll see how things go. I hope to have a firm release date for you all by the next update. For now… the grind continues!

🔹 Quick reminder: if you haven’t picked up Having a HARD Time yet, now’s a great opportunity — the Steam Summer Sale is live, and the game is currently 30% off.

Oh, and this little cutie wanted to say hi:

Thanks again for all your support, it means a lot.

All the best,

Quadruple-Q

Hello everyone. In this patch we are introducing a new tutorial (Warp & Navigation) and revamped two major features. One major flaw of the game was that battles often became stale passed a certain point, when reinforcements dried out. In this patch, we've modified the reinforcements mechanics so that ships never fully run out. The 'final wave' now repeats every 3 minutes and guarantees that a minimum amount of small ships (interceptors, bombers and corvettes) regularly join the battle.

This makes it easier for the AI to finish battles on its own, and provides more targets or assistance to the players. As a result, this change has modified the delicate balance between attackers and defenders, so we might need to do further adjustments at a later stage. Let us know in the comments if you feel this is a step in the right direction and if the battles are indeed more interesting in their later stage.

Another major change was the addition of a new atmospheric flight model. Keep in mind that our ships have no wings (by conscious design) therefore flying in an atmosphere is mostly driven by drag and friction. The idea here is that you'll more easily take damage at higher speeds, potentially lose control if you fly and try to turn too fast, and burn your shield. It'll be very difficult to rotate your ship around (especially in the horizontal direction, aka. yaw, but easier if you roll & pitch). However, one advantage you'll get is that friction will slow down your ship much more rapidly, allowing some sharper corners to change course at a much faster rate than before. Overall, our goal here is to provide more differences between space and atmospheric flight. Note that the AI hasn't fully adapted to these changes, and may struggle to turn in atmospheres in some cases.

We've added a new re-entry effect (when your ship causes friction with the atmosphere), fixed various assets and bugs as usual. In our next patch we'll continue the polish pass and iterate on the AI commander and bots behaviors and balance.

• New Warp & Navigation tutorial is now available. It will teach the player how to deploy a ship, navigate and warp around a planetary system. It ends with a little bit of gameplay challenge with the instructor and the player responding to a strange distress call...

• Reinforcement waves never run out. A minimum final wave of about 4000 SP's worth of small ships (~15-20 ships) gets deployed every 3 minutes. Capital ships are excluded. This prevents battles from becoming stale and taking forever to end, and provides more targets to players towards the end of a battle.

• Revamped atmospheric flight model: drag now more significantly affects ships, and prevents them from turning horizontally (yaw) at higher speeds. They also receive more damage (shield first) due to friction at high speeds. Drag increases by 2x when shields are down, and decreases by -50% in warp. Aerodynamic profile (angle to the wind flow, causing more or less area exposure) is taken into account in the friction calculations. Also keep in mind that air density varies on different planets, and is much stronger at lower altitudes (<5 Km) than at higher altitudes (>20 Km)
