  48. Gameplay
  49. Multi Tool - Tractor Beam Implementation T0
  50. Initial implementation of a Tractor Beam Device that attaches onto a Multi Tool that allows a player to control an object at a
  51. small distance without physical contact. Its primary use is that of quickly and remotely moving smaller cargo and other physics
  52. based objects in gravity and zero-g, and in zero-g if tethering to large objects (asteroids, space stations, ships) can be used as
  53. a “grapple hook” to pull the player towards it. This includes a tractor beam UI that displays Force and Distance Gauge as well as
  54. indications if the tether is close to breaking. Players can rotate a tethered item by holding “R” and moving the mouse cursor.
  55.  
  56. Ship Entry Identification
  57. This feature adds dynamic AR markers onto a player's display when in close proximity to your vehicle to aid in entry. These
  58. contextually change depending on whether the vehicle is landed or in space to only show valid entry methods.
  59.  
  60. Weapons and Items
  61. New FPS Weapon: Behring FS-9 LMG
  62. Behring designed the FS-9 to be an overwhelming battlefield force. This light machine gun features a full auto mode that makes it
  63. ideal for laying down covering fire or holding back advancing enemies. The FS-9 is also acclaimed for its ability to maintain
  64. accuracy while unleashing sustained fire. Weapon can be purchased in game at Skutters in Grim HEX.

  69.  
  70. Stanton System Planetary Improvements
  71. Further improvements to planetary detail and assets which includes a detailed global painting pass with consideration to global
  72. climate data.We are also refining how object presets are set up, to get a more natural and believable read, as well as introducing
  73. some new assets to the biome packs. Updating the remaining geology assets to the organic shader to utilize the latest features.
  74. Improved cloud layer visuals on planets. Re-introducing the acidic biome for Hurston and Ariel with PlanetTechv4. Re-introducing
  75. the glossy/icy surfaces on Yela and Lyria. We are looking to showcase the above improvements for this release on the planets
  76. Hurston & microTech, as well as on the moons Cellin, Daymar, Wala,Yela, and Lyria.
  77.  
  78. Elevator Panel Updates
  79. Replacing the existing Utilitarian elevator panel buttons with interactive screens.
  80.  
  81. Restricted Area Rework - Area18 / Lorville
  82. Removal of landing splines at Area 18 Spaceport and Lorville Spaceport and updating restricted flight area around the spaceports.
  83.  
  84. Gameplay
  85. Mining UI Refactor
  86. This update adds a brand-new user interface for all mining-capable vehicles, which will provide the player with a clearer overview
  87. of what they are currently experiencing, including: Mining Consumables – What you have equipped, their current state and their
  88. duration. Cargo – Your cargo pods now show their contents and update in real-time as you extract materials from mineable deposits.
  89. Volatile Cargo – The health and estimated time that the cargo will last in your cargo pods before collapsing, and volatile cargo
  90. itself is highlighted in the UI so that you can’t miss it when you collect it. Flight UI – The current flight and gimble settings
  91. your ship has active are visible at all times. This new interface is built entirely using the new BuildingBlocks system which will
  92. allow for quicker development, iteration and testing of new features for the Mining System.
  93.  
  94. Counter Measures v1.1
  95. With these improvements to countermeasure gameplay, the amount of deployed countermeasures will play more of an important role in
  96. the chance of spoofing missiles. Single countermeasures will be less effective, but players will have the ability to choose how
  97. many should be fired with each burst. Different missiles will have varying degrees of countermeasure resilience. Flares have been
  98. renamed to Lures and now have different modes to control how multiple launches work including Launch burst (tap H default) or Set
  99. and Launch Burst to send out multiple (hold H default). You can increase and decrease the burse size (unbound by default). Chaff
  100. currently renamed to Haze. Countermeasures have also had a sound effects rework.
  101.  
  102. Torpedo Attack, Counter-Balance and Behavior
  103. A rebalance of the Size 9 Torpedoes. They are now much deadlier, with only a few direct hits required to bring down larger ships.
  104. This extra damage comes at the cost of speed.
  105.  
  106. Head Tracking Updates
  107. We have made a few additions, updates, and fixes to head tracking devices to help increase usability for players.

  109. the same button if desired). Added support for positional axes for cockpit and most other ship seats in first person.
  110. Added Rotation and position support for external cameras (clamped to 1m in each dimension). Added separate button to enable/disable
  111. head tracking on external cameras (unbound by default). Added head rolling for FPS and ADS (including an option to automatically
  112. turn it off). Added a smoothing slider and a "forward" center deadzone for Faceware.
  113.  
  114. General Fixes: Actor head won't snap from left to right if the head tracking angle is above 180 degrees. All mouse induce head
  115. movements will now be suppressed when head tracking is active. Removed the internal offset when the toggle is used (it will be
  116. using the internal device offset instead). Reshuffled the menu options for head tracking to make it clearer. Extended the
  117. available movement range in seats when headtracking is used. Fixed the auto recalibrate option.
  118.  
  119. Smaller ship input QOL improvements
