Happy Hour drop rates & balance patch! While we do feel that the current drop rates are good as they are, we also want to have some ingame events that boost these droprates for those of you with little time. Now there's a drop rate 'Happy Hour' 3x per day in which the drop rate is up to 3x higher!

In addition to that, while we are working on getting several languages ready for Stellar Warfare we decided that it was time for a balance patch as well. The following ships and weapons have been updated:

An often requested feature was infinite waves for the wave defense game mode. We've had to brainstorm a bit on how to best implement it, but I think we found a good solution. You can now toggle the infinite waves checkbox in the wave survival setup menu. Instead of 1 big boss after 10 waves you now get a mini-boss assault-platform that attacks you every fifth wave! They have long range weaponry but aren't especially tanky... Their damage output is serious though!

In addition to that we did the following:

Added the multi-ion beamweapon

Adding a techfrigate with built in self-repair and 4 module slots

SAVE/LOAD support in all Single Player game modes

Fixed randomizer error preventing type B to be spawn.

Added the Support Platform wave miniboss

Added the Support Platform type B wave miniboss

Improved the visuals for several menus

Updated the visuals of the scorescreen

Updated the splashscreen

Added the Box Attack functionality so that people can try it out to multi-select

Tweaked shield visuals and shield impact visuals

Doubled the size of Zabu Repairs in Battle Royale

Updated score screen functionality

In battle royale you can now 'order' ships before the game starts from the multiplayer menu

Fleet loadouts now can be switched without visiting the fleet editor (multiplayer lobbies only for now).

In Battle Royale mode you now will be able to pick your starting fleet

Your starting funds in BR will be 3600/3600 minus the cost of your spawned fleet.

If you won't select any starting ship - game will spawn first ship in your loadout

Fixed various issues with the ship editor dropdowns and visuals

We've also updated http://patreon.com/tensegames for those who want custom rewards.

I've also decided to experiment with some more engine variations. You can see those changes below:

The following ships now have Green Engine Flames:

Frigate

Raider

Towerer

The following ships now have Yellow/orange Engine Flames:

Bee

The following ships now have Purple Engine Flames:

Colony

Nest

The following ships now have Teal engine flames:

Fish

Hammerer

Flint

The following ships now have Red engine flames:

Ant

Wrapup

That's it for this update! There's a few things we still want to improve upon and we will gradually add those as well. May you be safeguarded from The Light. See you in space!

Time for another update! Among other things we have:

Added a campaign intermezzo mission (two more coming)

Improved direct control controls

Improved various GUI elements

Fixed bugs reported by the community

Fixed bugs related to the save/load functionality

Polished a bunch of planets and other system elements

Designed a new mission full of temporary weapons, modules, planets and enemies

Along with the above we've looked into localization since that has been often requested as well and we might do something with that in the near future.

Share your ideas! We also want to give you guys the opportunity to contribute to the project by sharing your ideas. You can do so on our discord in the feedback and suggestions channel. We'll go over each of the submissions there and see if we can pick up an idea or two and implement those for you guys.

More coming, cheers!
