Hello Galactic Survivalists!

First of all, we want to thank you very much for your feedback that reached us during the Experimental Phase of Update 1.11.8 through our various feedback channels.

As you may have already experienced in the testing phase or at least seen in the blogs, in addition to numerous bug fixes and the completion of the Dark Faction Scenario Story Campaign, the new "Freeze & Board" gameplay for the Dark Faction DLC expansion is another central focus of this update.

In brief: The Dark Faction has gained the ability to disable your capital and small vessels as well as hover vessels. If you are in a disabled capital vessel, a boarding crew will be teleported over to you. If you don't take them out, they can cause some serious damage to the interior of your ship!

How exactly this works is explained in the following video:

You can also find all the details in the corresponding feedback thread here:
https://empyriononline.com/threads/...on-dlc-disruptor-translocator-turrets.102503/

With the current update, you also get the revamped and expanded Dark Faction Story Campaign - fully playable in both solo and co-op modes, including two possible story endings!

In addition to this, the current update includes, among other things, a small hitpoint balancing, a new Pentaxid Tank model, and over 470 new and updated icons in the areas of Building Blocks, Wings, Windows, Railings, Farming, Plants, Ingots, Components, Medical, Food, Cooking, Trading & more.

As always, all the contents of the update can be found in detail below in the comprehensive changelog.

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

First of all, we would like to apologize for the fact that some of the contents of the update described earlier this year are still pending. We are working hard on the final adjustments.

However, in order not to delay some necessary bug fixes and technical upgrades any longer, we have packed these and all previously completed content together and put together a small server scenario creativity package for you with version 1.11.7, which is now available.

It includes numerous new game objects for Survival and Creative mode (consoles, tables, large trees and various types of lamps for outdoor and indoor areas) as well as an improvement to the gravity generators, which makes it easier for you to create a walkable gravity ring, for example.

On the big topic of multiplayer, improvements have been made to how 'SharedData', i.e. the content of custom scenarios that are not included in the game installation by default, are handled. In particular, the aim here is to conserve the bandwidth of the servers offering multiplayer and, in the best case scenario, to enable you to obtain the additional content required to enter the game more quickly when you connect to the server for the first time.

Last but not least - and apart from the bug fixes - we have put a lot of work into the Blueprint Collection Tool, some of the playing fields in the Default Scenario and the Guided Tutorial (playable via the main menu)!

You can find all the details in the changelog below.

As always:
- Please post bugs and errors in this forum: https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.24/
- Please post feedback here in the feedback forum: https://empyriononline.com/forums/faq-feedback.25/

We hope you enjoy v1.11.7 and look forward to your feedback!

Yours,

Eleon Game Studios Team.

Note:
For any users who happen to use steamCMD with Empyrion & launch the game from root with EmpyrionLauncher.exe you will need to add a new line to the Empyrion.props file:
- In the Empyrion root directory create a copy of the “Empyrion_Example.props” & rename it to just “Empyrion.props”
- Open it in notepad & add this on a new line & save the file

Code:
[DebugOverrides]
ForceGamePlatform = 2
This is only needed for the client, not for the Dedicated Server!

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

The way clients download a SharedData folder is changing!
We will be introducing a better way to handle SharedData downloads that doesn't use any dedicated server bandwidth on log in.
Code:
SharedDataURL: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xxxxxxxxxxK/view?usp=sharing
If you don't provide the new URL field then the old way is used.

Yours,
Eleon Game Studios team.

Hello Galactic Survivalists!
In today's March update, as promised, we have provided a first set of improvements and even new content.

These include, among others:
- The improvement of the sword and body shield includes an increased swing speed, an additional animation, and a glowing effect around the avatar when the shield is active.
- The UI/UX improvements have added new information and markers for the Dark Field strength on the map, as well as a warning message before landing on a planet.
- The new feature for range preview of generators allows a live preview of the effect field before final placement, for both Dark Field Neutralizers and Generators as well as regular gravity generators.
- The new content includes a gravity generator for small ships (SV) with a renewed model and various ranges, available in both game versions (with and without DLC).

Unfortunately, the "Boarding Parties" feature discussed in the recently released blog had to be postponed to the upcoming next update in April. So, your security teams have gained a little more time for training. ;)

Included in today's update, of course, are bug fixes as well as further adjustments and improvements listed below in the complete changelog.

As always: please report bugs in this forum: https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.24/

We thank you all for your cooperation and patience and look forward to your feedback!

Changes:
- The strain feature on the bow will now only fire when the player lets go of the LMB button.
- Sword speed increased (hold down LMB for continuous strikes with the sword), sparks effects & another strike animation added.
- Added: Shield recharge bar for players to see when it’s next available & body shield shader when shield is active.
- Added: Changed the strain controller sprite & placed it close to the center of the screen
- Added: New icon on the HUD, Map window & galaxy map to show the Dark field strength in corrupted playfields
- A message will appear on the HUD when entering Dark faction playfields with a Dark field

Fixes:
- 01338: Structure swap will use blueprints from the player BP folder if they are named the same as what is setup in the scenario
- Various fixes for corrupted NPC's reactions to the player

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

At the beginning of March, we provided some insights here into the basic contents for the coming weeks and months (Roadmap Blog - March/April 2024).

Today, we want to get more specific and give you a little preview of the upcoming update.

Here's a little disclaimer: All images below and detailed information should be considered as work in progress. They are from the active development process, and it's possible that even days before a release, things may change or, if in doubt, be postponed to the next update. Therefore, the information below is primarily to let you know what we are currently working on and to shorten the waiting time for the next update. Thank you for your understanding.

With that said - What are the main topics of the next update?

New Features: Boarding Parties!
The turrets of the Dark Faction are getting (the first iteration of) a new function! The Disruptor Turret will now be able to immobilize your (not shield-protected) ship and then the Translocator turret will teleport troops over to your vessel! Make sure your internal security is up to scratch!

Improvement: Sword and Body Shield
Three improvements are planned here. Not only has the swing speed of the sword been significantly increased. There is now also an additional animation and a glow effect around your avatar as soon as the shield is active.

[​IMG]

UI/UX Improvements:
  • Dark Field On Screen Info & Warning message
    We added new information and updated the markers in the various map views about the presence or strength of the local Dark Field. There is also now a new message: when you approach a planet it will inform you about the strength of the Dark Field even before you attempt to land!
  • Lift-Off Warning
    In addition to that, we also plan to add another new warning message - available for both game versions: If you approach a planet, a warning will be displayed in case you would not be able to take off from this planet.
[​IMG]

Last but not least, the current update includes a topic that fits with the previous improvement and also brings some new content that we would like to explain to you in advance.

New Feature: Range Preview for Generators
Both for the Dark Field Neutralizers (also for the Dark Field...
