Features & Gameplay

Gameplay

  • Quantum Travel Polish

We have made large adjustments to Quantum Travel speeds, accelerations, fuel storage, use, and prices in 3.24.2 that will help balance movement around the PU. Ship fuel take sizes have been balanced across all ships to adjust for archetype with some getting less fuel and others being able to hold more. Quantum Drives have all been adjusted for fuel use, speed, and acceleration to balance ship travel based on shorter and longer distance archetypes. Cooldown times have not been adjusted.

Ships and Vehicles

  • Cannon Max Ammo and Regen Balance Pass

All sizes of cannons have had their regen rate and held ammo count reduced to balance against repeaters.

  • Modified the default Ship Power distribution to allocate full power to most pools, but less to triangle pools
  • Zeus Art, Lighting, and Interactions Polish Pass
  • MFD Polish: Added support for multiple pips connected together
  • Greatly Increased Ship Turret Health Pools
  • Reduced A2/C2 Held Countermeasures
