Hi everyone, We're excited to bring you another patch that addresses reported issues and enhances your overall experience with the game. This time, we focused on the randomness (RNG) elements that were causing frustration. One common concern was the second node of the first map, where players choose a weapon for their run. Some options were significantly less viable than others, leading to unnecessary restarts. [h2]Now, let’s dive into the patch notes:[/h2] [h3]Fixes:[/h3] [list] [*] Fixed Hot Reload Perk consuming its active buff of no ordnance cost with a free repeating beam attack at the beginning of the player's turn [*] Fixed Player not getting a new Crewmember because of AI filled slots in the outcome of the Colony Defender event. If the player has a full crew and AI installed, the AI will be uninstalled and an AI Core item will be placed in his cargo bay thus allowing for the new crewmember to come on board. If the player has a full crew and they are all human, the Colony Defender character will not offer to join your crew but will still give you the other rewards. [*] Fixed Advantage card Reactor Boost giving just +1 Reactor power instead of 2 [*] Fixed a potential soft lock on defeating an enemy caused by the explosions on death [/list] [h2]Balance changes[/h2] [list] [*] Modified the weapon selection on the second node to offer 3 options instead of 2 , this should lead to less restarts to get the desired weapon. Also removed some anti-synergistic weapons from it. [*] Arbalest: removed the Light Flak and Quad flak equipment from the selection pool in the second node weapon pick event [*] Arbalest: added the Coil-gun to the selection pool in the second node weapon pick event [*] Marauder: removed the Beam laser and Coil-gun from the selection pool in the second node weapon pick event [*] Lancer: removed the Beam laser and Light Flak from the selection pool in the second node weapon pick event [*] Lancer: added the light laser to the selection pool in the second node weapon pick event [*] Firebrand: removed the Ion cannon and the Beam laser from the selection pool in the second node weapon pick event [*] Firebrand: added the Light Flak from the selection pool in the second node weapon pick event [*] Heavy Flak: reduced ordnance cost from 5 to 4, increased cooldown from 4 to 5 [*] Titanium Shells: reduced 0rdnance cost from 4 to 3, increased cooldown from 3 to 4 [*] Reckless attack: reduced energy cost from 2 to 0 , increased cooldown from 3 to 4 [*] High explosives: reduced mass cost from 3 to 0, increased energy cost from 2 to 4 [*] Overwhelming Barrage: reduced mass cost from 3 to 0 , increased cooldown from 4 to 6 [*] Retribution: reduced mass cost from 4 to 3 [*] Bombard: fixed bug where discarding or playing it would consume the card [*] Added localization to the "Press tab to lock on screen" text in the equipment inspector, made it more evident by animating it.
