Hi Galactic Survivalists!We just released Alpha 4.3, which marks the last update with bug fixes and general improvement before entering the development cycle for Alpha 5.0.In Alpha 4.3, we implemented more measures to avoid vessel / structure loss, added several new blocks and devices, tweaked the speed of CV versus SV, improved the Server-Client chat, re-balanced some weapons, added new stock blueprints, improved visuals, fixed many bugs and integrated other improvements as documented in the changelog below.As always, we are very curious about your feedback regarding Alpha 4.3.Thanks for reading.YoursEmpyrion Dev TeamImportant Notes:- Please add bug reports over here:- Info about using screen capture software OBS since Alpha 4.0:- Playfield change is now more stable: before changing a playfield, the target playfield is now asked if it is available- Added additional security check to prevent entering a playfield if the max structure count would then be exceeded- Added heartbeat message from client -> server- Checking playfield server heartbeats and killing process if yaml configurable timeout reached- Added 'detach' console command to help detaching a player when he has the 'stuck below cockpit' problem- Added 2 new window blocks: L-shape and 3-sided corner- Added 2 new railing blocks: L-shape and round corner- Added more CV thrusters to complete block group. Thrusters are now grouped in M, L, XL thrusters - each group has 3 thrusters: normal, slant, armored (with same specs)- Added epic rocket launcher with homing missiles- Added Akua berry bush, space orange tree, alien honey plant and textured plant protein plant as growable plants in BA / CV- Added thruster M slant for HV- Added 2 small-sized versions of jet thrusters- Added damage states to jet thrusters and AMD- Tweaked speed of CV / SV: CVs are now slower than SVs on planets and in space (CV speed = 80% of SV speed)- Slightly increased speed of SV in space to 115m/s (CV = 92 m/s)- Added CV Tier 4 (Thanks to Nosture: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=786993317 - Added CV Tier 5 (thanks to baddkarma74) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=750189130 - Added SV Tier 5 (thanks to Vicomt): https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=792923923 - Added BA Tier 6 (thanks to H.P. Strangelove): http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=766326347 - Implemented server-side chatting to a specific player or faction (type "help say" in console to get usage details)- Implemented client-side chat to server only (start chat message with "s! ", no other player will see this message)- Adapted distance at which HUD tags are shown: planet 350m (instead of 250m) and space 1500m (instead of 1000m)- Name + faction info appears at 300m (planet) and 1250m (space) - before: 200m / 500m- Changed: unpowered structures are again showing their name in HUD- Tweaked weapon ranges (BA turrets have now a higher range than CV weapons):* slightly increased weapon range for Bases for some turrets* slightly reduced weapon range for CV for some turrets* increased weapon range for HV turrets- Added homing missile to turret HV- Slightly increased speed of homing missile SV- Increased RPM for Alien Ion Turret (Planet) and Alien Sentries- Increased Rotation Speed for all Alien Turrets and Alien Sentries- Increased damage, hitpoints and range for Alien Sentries and Player Sentries- Slightly increased projectile speed for Alien Turrets and Sentries- Increased stack size of several ammo types- Increased overall drop rate of crushed stone- Added crushed stone also in top layer on Omicron to make it easier to find crushed stone- Re-balanced all jet thrusters- Improved visuals of weapons in first person (improved shader)- Improved turret HV: we are now using the same base for all turrets in order to have a more coherent style.
