Change Log

Gameplay

• Planets with the manufacturing slider set to 100% Military" will no longer be considered idle.   
• Stationed ships now are properly having their maintenance cost reduced by 50%
• Manufacturing points now being properly updated after reordering shipyard queue
• If AI is significantly stronger than you, it will no longer accept bad peace treaty offers from you.  

MP

• Jumping through a wormhole will no longer cause a desync
• The AI can no longer decommission ships during battles.  This would cause lots of weird issues, including desyncs and crashes in MP.    
• Battle preview window no longer causes a desync.  

UI

• Updated appearance of keyboard input window.
• Added new keyboard shortcuts suggested by our fans.
• Command Window: Added cost and turn information for upgrading ships.
• Metaverse button is now disabled if there's no internet connection

Sound

• Ship sounds will no longer disappear in the middle of the turn.
• Added new ship sounds
• Shipyards are no longer missing ambient sounds
• Fixed a problem where the "turn" button sound didn't play after a battle.  

Bugs

• Starting the Altarian Prophecy Campaign no longer triggers the "For Arcea" Achievement.
• Fixed typos
• Altarian Prophecy:  One of the mission rewards was not properly giving the ideology bonus
• Added a sanity check that makes sure we add in a valid waypoint in for our travel to prevent a stuck turn.
• Fixed a problem where a destination tile was invalid when loading a save game.  
• If more than one freighters are completed on the same turn, the popup dialog for the second one was sometimes getting lost, causing a stuck turn.  This same fix will unstick save games with this issue.
• Fixed a stuck turn where a ship is trying to leave a station the same turn that its faction surrenders.  
• The "Speak to" button will no longer be disabled in MP for the rest of the turn after trading with the AI
• Fixed a case where the hotkey tooltip wasn't getting cleared.  
• Fixed a crash in the event processing
