Beta 2 (mid-september) changelog

[Caroline 20]

Good news, everyone! 

Here comes the new version of the Crying Suns’ Beta 2.0 and its changelog (compared to the Beta 1.0)

Gameplay

• Complete rethink of the game fight difficulty progression thanks to the community feedbacks. The raise in difficulty should be smoother than in the Beta 1.0 !

• Added a new battleground event: “Meteor” Shower (temporary name)

• Added 3 new hero abilities : Proximity defense, Proximity Unit repair, XO (Executive officer)

• Changed the fleeing (breaking out of a skirmish) behavior of squadrons => Cannot be stopped while fleeing just after breaking out

• Removed upgrades that were supposed to raise the cap on fuel and commando, for now there is no such limit

• When “undeploying” (squadron returning to the battleship) they should now try to take a safer path (= not going through asteroid fields)

• The expedition shuttle upgrade is now working properly, only taking more commandos if possible without changing the default requirement.

• The refuel upgrade is now a bit more effective and the additional fuel won is displayed separatly from the initial outcome

Graphics and sound

• Added generic male heroes

• Added contextual sounds during some random events

• Adapted the squadron hover panel display to be able to see the “level” (Mk 1, 2 etc…) of the unit

BugFix Major

• Fixed a bug where the game froze during an expedition

• Fixed a bug where you could move squadron to itself to gain infinite action points

• Fixed a bug where it was possible to shoot twice for the price of one shot

• Fixed a bug where the expedition requirements where not updated if you gained/lost some in an event in the same location

• Fixed a bug where the ennemy battleship wasn’t visible

BugFix Minor

• Fixed a bug where the pattern display of a weapon in its hover panel was wrong

• Fixed a bug in an event with 2 consecutive Kosh-Buendia fight, the second one had the wrong display

• Fixed some bugs where the wrong ennemy battleships were displayed

• Fixed a bug where the the cruiser pattern display was not disappearing after selecting a destination

• Fixed a bug where the name of a hero displayed in a reward panel was different from the real one

 If you have questions or feedbacks about this changelog, please post them here.

Enjoy!
