Patch notes January 2014

Hi Space Pilots,

Here is your monthly overview of all the cool improvements and the fixes we patched in January 2014.

And in February there is going to be much more. Keep your eyes open and have fun in the game.


Improvements

· Game Entry 2.0​

o If a player runs out of laser ammunition for the first time a quick buy hint window will pop up.​

o If a player’s cargo is full and due to that he is not able to collect a cargo box for the first time a hint window will pop up to educate him about ore refining to clear cargo space.​

o Step one of game entry mission #6 will be completed no matter in what quick slot bar slot the user dropped ammunition.​

o The speed of Lordakia and Boss Lordakia has been slightly reduced.​

· Game Entry​

o The “How to refine ore Mission” now offers a bit more action and explains that ore can also come from cargo boxes.​

o “How to equip ammunition”: The text will be updated.​

o If a mission requires a player to go to a certain place, the icon is now in the mission description.​

· Email-Verification Links will now only be valid for 2 hours – this will greatly increase account safety.​

Bug Fixes

· Game Client​

o The Insta Shield animation after its activation will now be displayed properly.​

o The reward for destroyed NPCs will be rewarded to the player who attacked the NPC first.​

o In some cases the jump gate icon was temporarily disabled. This will not happen anymore.​

o Skill tree: The skill Explosives will work and increases the mine’s explosion radius as intended again.​

o PET: The PET’s guard mode will now work in any cases again.​

· Website​

o Achievements: Completed achievements will no longer be displayed as still pending.​

· Leaving a clan will now be displayed instantly to other pilots.​

· Challenges which have been played once can now be played again.​
