SHIPS

• All ship windows now have 1000 health

• When prospector ships collide, both ships will now take equal damage

• Maximum damage from ship-to-ship collision reduced to 4 (was 5)

HARDPOINTS

// DEV NOTE: We're still fine tuning a few hardpoints. For Laser Ram, this change is meant to give both gunners and Drill Charge more power to suppress the weapon during a close battle. For Shock Field, this should give you more reaction time and even the possibility of "diving" past the Shock Field through an opening in the ship, if you have some speed available.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed a bug where Starlance projectiles did not always do proper damage to prospectors when fired through a wall

• Fixed a bug where some handheld items would become invisible if a player was blasted while holding them

• Fixed a bug where Tractor Beams (including Ancient Tractor Beams) did not always properly consume ammo

  • Note: Now that this bug has been addressed, drop rates for both the standard and Ancient Tractor Beams have been restored to their previous levels

• Fixed a bug where Kae could sometimes steal items through walls (nice try, Kae)

PREVIOUSLY IMPLEMENTED HOTFIXES

// DEV NOTE: These fixes were addressed separately via previous hotfixes. We’re documenting them here for ease of reference and better player visibility. 

The goal of these changes to both decrease matchmaking times and decrease skill disparity within matches, at the trade off of having your preferred ship less often and sometimes playing in a match with fewer than five crews. While we'll be actively monitoring matchmaking and match performance on our end, we encourage you to let us know what you think and how these hotfixes feel in practice.
