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. 

 Cloak is player active and makes you friendly to the enemy untill you shoot.

The Mechanic

Skills: Hp boost lvl1+50(max 3 gives golden hp bar) skill 4 same as lurker but a choice of drone defence or repair ability.  Final skill is a repair becon. Drops a becon that heals your ships shilds and hp 150 for few seconds.

The Technician

Skills: Shield boost lvl1+50 (max 3 gives green shield bar) choice between smart ammo CPU, explosive drone, back up shields. Final skill is mine field. Drops 5 mines max. Deals 400 damage each.  When ever a npc flys over it. Also capable of doing splash damage if you get multple npcs to fly over it. 

Final update drops at the end of the month.

The Comet will soon be among us.

1 month away till the comet enters our solar system. i have the mission fully codded and its being tested. I'll say this the comet is going to be a hard fight i died every single run testing out combos. Log in now start unlocking gear build your ship up. Humanity, no the universe rest in your hands. 

The one about the Comet.

Incoming Transmission from the General...

Pilots we intersected a transmission from enemy units. The Ilyx deemed us a threat, and now they have launched their extinction weapon. The Comet, is what they called it. Im calling out on all channels to any pilot who is brave enough to destroy this weapon.  Our existence,  and our future its all in your hands.

       The season if the comet will drop in two months do you have what it takes to save your galaxy in the best old style 2d space shooter?

#The Final Season

#Season of the Comet

 Best of luck your Arcticworld Team

8*Breath of the Dragon Extended*

Sorry for not posting lately most the bug fixes and pre existing bugs get mentioned in the update log. 

  < Current bugs>

<Game Patches and fixes>

Combat fix

Infinite exp and credit fix and patch

Patch for updating user settings with extensions

Clicking priority patch (click prioritizes npc's , resources, ammo crates, skeleton chest, ship movement.)  The reason why movement is last is due to every time you would goto click something you would start moving instead.

Infinite npc fix (when npcs stack on top of eachother)

Ammo crate spawning fix (an accidental line of code was preventing the spawn timer from incrementing)

Code clean up cleaning up the paint method so its not doing more work then ot has to. *fixes the fps reader. Fps now reads as intended. 

Ship ability fixes * General bugs and power buffs.

Ship skin fixes * General fic with skin not showing on some ships.

Visual Update ui fixes *General this and that

Season pass fixes fixed season pass resetting when it wasnt supposed to.

Promo code fixes *General fix with it saying a code isnt valid when it worked and credited the account.

Mission op fixes (some missions werent cycling right) 

Buffs and nurfs

Buffed npc's gave them lvls

Nurfed there stats especially scouts (do to a behavior update they became way to strong for new pilots to handel.)

Buffed small class ships to help new player progression.

Buffed some ship abilities

Defence drone and drone ring now summons drones quicker buy 30 seconds rather then a minute.

Combat and battle drones got a damage buff. (May turn them into tokens.  And put a spawn timer on them.

Rocket launcher original power was buffed and rocket reload changed, and fixed it a glitch where it would load and trigure outside of battle.

Ammo converter CPU woros as the new ammo type didnt want to risk splicing into users base setting one mistake could cause a bunch of patches and a loss in gear, or a complete reset.  This ammo type / converter uses ammo you have to make a shot that does both shield absorbing and damage dealing.

Thinking about adding a unique ship ability to all ships. Originally abilities where unique to heavy class ships. 

If you find any bugs I havent found and fixed and mentioned in this post feel free to comment I will do my best to patch them and deliver a good quality 2d space shooter!

**update

For what ever reason the fps showing 0 seemed to have fixed it self its now working as intended as I'm hitting from 40 -90 fps with some really smooth game play. I also patched an issue with mission ops 7 it looked like i got all excited when i made it i didn't notice some of the errors. It now goes through the whole mission rather then ending at step 3

*General Update*

Added player rank to the game, us holidays, and event rank.

Reporting a bug*

There is a bug with the fps counter not sure as to what is causing it but its staying at a static 0. I went through the code and couldnt fine what is causing it. Fps is not running at 0 fps it still plays from 30-80. If you do experience lag close your game and restart your server and open your game back. 

Premium Ships are now fully coded into the game, They Come with multiple abilities Giving you the chance to select others. Abilities that are the same wont stack so keep that in mind, also the multi and single launcher wont stack they run off of the same counter and  Single resets before the multi do to its reload speed. ~ Arctic World

*Quick Update*

Games basic ranking system update will drop the 1st of next month. Good news you wont loose rank if you have a bunch of deaths and sense i have no way of tracking your deaths up to this point you dont have to worry about penalties untill after the update. After 5 deaths you start to take a hit to your rank, everything you do can be tracked so you can view it all. Ranks and your death and stuff will show up in your npc's killed. You will soon be able to see your total deaths as well. event rank will also be there, also event rank will sit behind your rank on the game page your rank will be displayed next to your title. Also icon changes will be coming with this update and ammo crates in free space. You have a lot to look forward to ^^

-The Stranger, soon the Stranger will be making her way to our galaxy. On all signals she claims to be a friendly visiter, Desprate for allies the General has you investigating the signal location. 

The stranger comes baring a random in space mission, with a helpfull reward. She will also sell past season pass reward items. Her rewards will consist of: 1 free ship unlock token, ship abilities (like the lesser version of drone ring, and new laser upgrades), Ship skins. Making her missions all the more worth while to do. After your 1st free encounter with her she will have a low chance to visit on every day 5 log in bonus.  She is busy travling through space finding new thing to bring back. And she won't ever give the same rewards, every one will be different.
