I've noticed the Energy Dash tech seems to have a cooldown now. Kind of bothersome, but other than that, I'm loving the changes.
hmm.... Love the new bookmarking feature, and the teleporter part. All I really checked out beyond the obvious bit on my ship. Hmmm... wonder what the leafy snakey eats... doesn't like meat, or at least the ones I fed it. >< This will take a lot of trial and error. hmm...
Yea, a couple do. I'm guessing they did that because energy recharges a lot faster now. Still, it really kills traveling with it. Energy Dash has a .8 second cooldown now. FTL Boost has a 1.3 second cooldown now.
I got stuck on the new loading animation while trying to use a teleport bookmark to outpost, the server says: Info: UniverseServer: Loading temporary unique world outpost But never got to load it, i had to restart the game because ESC would not bring the main menu back.
Once this update comes to Stable I will no longer be able to abuse "Quit and Save" anymore... :C but whatever- I'm glad we don't have to lose our characters for this update. That's really convenient. ^.^
While I'm sure this won't be a problem for everyone, that animation 'porting down to planet is like an almost instant migraine for me (as I just found out an hour ago! =P) May end up being a problem for anyone with epilepsy too? I know a long time ago there was a mod that stopped the FTL animation for epilepsy sufferers, I used it for the insta-migraine thing too, but I haven't played in a long time and it seems to be out of date now. I've been minimising the screen for the FTL flight, but that 'port animation caught me unawares =) Would love an option to turn off those animations - or if by chance I've been looking in the wrong place and the mods are still working, if anyone could let me know I'd appreciate it =)
Having an issue with my server. I turn on the server and can join it on my character, all is well. But when my two friends try to join, they get a series of errors. They can join the server on brand-new characters, but once those characters go onto single player, they trigger the before mentioned errors on subsequent attempts to join my server. I am able to go on both single player and multiplayer on my character without issue. And my two friends have both update their games to unstable.
Nice all around. Just played through with the unstable and the changes feel good. I especially like all the updated graphics. Successfully completing a mission made me smile. The beam animation looks great. The monsters aversion to liquids gets funny as they're balanced on an bit of land with water on either side looking nervously from side to side. Hope theirs some variants on that, with some monsters more willing to jump in and go for a swim.
I can't tell you how much this upcoming update has me excited. Pets, teleporters and LESS LAG oh my! If I get a pet pig, I'm going to call it Waddles
Cool stuff indeed ! I've been waiting for that bookmark system for so long almost since the game started The new teleportation system also looks neat and i like that you guys tried to keep it away from being so overpowered but i still feel like it could have some more restrictions and alike. Also eager to hear that there is a plot developing for the game which is another awesome thing. . . . but still i wait and hope for the day when i will read that you guys are bringing back a new and reworked temperature system
These updates look great so far. I look forward to seeing a new stable update soon. I do have one question: how exactly do you plan to address optimization?
