The one about a final game content update.
Hello, first I want to say thank you to everyone who has been playing and keeping up with Stars Online Pirate Invasion. It has been wonderful developing this game and its seasonal content. I spent these past few weeks combing my code looking for bugs and errors, well also adding and editing in the last few game features.
-Fixed mission op errors. (Kills not counting towards progress, mission 4 bugs with locking, and the dreadnought not doing dmg, and rockets not doimg damage.)
- reajusted npc lvls and how npc speed is effected by lvls. (Speed adjustment stoped npcs from being zippy )
- Added in explosive drones. Explosive drones are a major game changer to farming npcs. It also required a complete change over the combat code. Can be obtained from skeleton chest. Best effective use of the ability is to stack 3 drones and the npcs. Then fly into them well being in combat with them. The drones will only detonate when in combat and when your ship colides into a nother enemy ship. Deals 400 damage per drone to a max of 1200.
-radiation zone and asteroid belt got a variable change.
- players who bought or unlocked premium wont loose credits on death, and if you have a repair credit it will auto repair your ship. So you wont have to reaquip your gear.
- The comet story mission is extremely hard but is very rewarding. You can farm it to unlock your very own comet ship. (Super Heavy Class)
-lowered the event timer to 4000 instead of 12000. 4k is 10 minutes. Added Comet invasion as a new event type to the game. Also game events will have a gerented event on log in then a random event on multiple log ins. So your 1st will be different every day. Giving you the chance to try each one every log in. Log in bonus will remain the same giving you parts, or a peace of gear.
- increased spawn rate for resources, ammo crates, free space mission beacons. (Fixed errors with free space beacons causing them to not work as intended.)
Combat tracking patches
- buffed drone ring to spawn drones quicker.
- changed the battle drone and combat drone layout to ark behind the ship. (Visual update)
- the ships from the ship trio package now give a x2 exp gain.
-remuved the whats new news section from back page and replaced it with game lore. You can unlock new in game lore by killing npc's and meeting the stranger.
-Story dialouge change mission ops and the stranger dialouge changed to more accurately tell you a small back ground story and to more accurately mach game lore.
- New To mining lab. Skeleton chest roller, now for 10 keys you can roll a more guarantee on ship ability and skins. Also a class system. Yep choose 1 of 3 classes you can reset for exp. You research skills by using exp. These skills will give you powers and buffs to use. The classes are The Lurker, The Mechanic, The Technician.
A quick breakdown at how getting skills work.
Requires exp / LVLS
Resources
Credits
Time ( may take you a week)
Or a free space task to do.
These will unlock your next skill. Much like your new gear your skill is cross ship.
Only one class can be active at a time.
Reseting will loose all progress you made, and will have to start at ground zero when going to a new class.
Reseting depending on how far in you are will take lvls. A full skill reset will take 20 lvls.
The Lurker
Skills: Damage buff lvl1 + 15 (max 3 and at lvl3 get larger looking lasers.) 4th skill research and unlock all 3 but can only use 1 to progress, a choice of combat ship ability. Final skill is a Cloak.
