First of all, thanks to everyone who has bought and been enjoying Starstruck Vagabond since its launch just over a month ago. And thanks for all the great feedback, which was very useful in compiling this, the first big feature update aimed at improving the gameplay experience all around. Here are the deets: [h2]NEW UPGRADES![/h2] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//44219962/eeef3534c724186444b7cf2c3e0a8b8cce5a9a11.png[/img] One of the most persistent issues with players who put in enough time was that there wasn't enough to spend money on and too many unused upgrade units kicking around in the late game. There's now a suite of new upgrades available to soak up some of that. Sprint shoes! Upgraded weapons! The ability to sell items directly from your processing plant! A new cockpit function to help keep track of your planet's collections in the post-ending! And more! [h2]NEW SERVICES![/h2] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//44219962/d0a6b2ccf9c0e442bd669b5ba9726fc069c75ef1.png[/img] Meet Fixbot, the cheerful shipyard robot who will happily take the burden of some of your workload. Say the word, and he'll fix every current issue with your ship AND refill the gas tank to boot! It's an expensive service, especially for something you can do yourself for free, but can you really put a price on free time?

Now, while taking new assignments over your comms will always give you an assignment geared for the size of your cargo platform, going to the freight office will let you choose the size of your delivery. Want to just do a quick three box run to unlock a new sector? Now you can! Want to take a massive 24-box delivery despite only having a tiny default cargo platform, because you're insane? You can do that too! [h2]NEW APPEARANCES AND DIALOGUES FOR CREW MEMBERS![/h2] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//44219962/a1eff5ac02dce2903e3049f4e4d91810ef4e8b31.png[/img] Now there's actually a reason to romance your crew besides bragging rights! Romanced crew members will put on alternative outfits and have alternative versions of standard dialogue reflecting your new relationship. They'll also request additional "private meetings" after the first, also with new dialogue, so get ready to try to keep up with them. [b]PLEASE NOTE: On existing save files from old versions of the game, already romanced crew members will have their affection levels dropped down to 3 hearts with the 4th ready to pop[/b], so you'll have to trigger their romance again to enjoy their new looks. [h2]AND MORE![/h2] [list] [*] New distress call missions! Hoarding and red weed pruning [*] Reward for distress missions increased [*] Aborting delivery missions will now de-authorize any authorized sectors you haven't yet visited [*] Map icons now show when a planet has an upgrade unit known to be available in any capacity (side job reward, left on the loading zone, etc) [*] Map icons now show when a crew member has requested to visit a specific planet [*] Hydroponic plants now have tooltips showing what produce they will drop [*] Shipyards now allow you to view upgrade descriptions even if you don't have enough units to buy them [*] Added graphics to crew menu differentiating 4 heart romance from 4 heart friendship [*] Radioactive crates will now also damage adjoining refrigerated crates [/list] Thanks again for playing Starstruck Vagabond! Remember, if you like the game and want to support it and future updates like this, a positive review on Steam goes a long way.
