Update 1.8

1.8.2

Fixed

• Fix: Combat -> Min range on turrets often freezes battles indefinitely [ships automatically moving towards targets results in no shots being fired].
• Fix: Combat -> All projectiles are not visible in combat (outside ship builder).
• Fix: Saving system -> Saving sometimes corrupts for the yearly auto save (race condition).

Improve

• Combat -> When a turret exceeds min range, its damage is halved, instead of 0.

Note

• Laser turrets visuals don't currently work, but all other turret projectiles should now appear as expected.

1.8.1

Techs and building costs are now in-line with the wiki.

Fixed

• Fix: Tech -> Base cost ignores prerequisites for non-repeatable technologies
• Fix: Graphics -> VSync not applied when starting game, if previously enabled [required manually re-enabling after starting game].
• Fix: Colony -> Building base costs are very inconsistent and unpredictable.

1.8.0

Added

• Wiki -> wiki.newstarsgame.com
• Main Menu -> Galaxy visual selectable from main menu
• Pause Menu -> Restart button to pause menu

Improved

• Galaxy -> Hyperlanes are now coloured to match galaxy

Removed

• Empire -> Naval capacity (not union naval capacity) -> Arbitrary bottleneck to expansion

Note

• Previous saves may no longer restore the galaxy same visual (before this update), but future saves now will.
• There is still a bug preventing some settings such as 'Galaxy Visual' from syncing after exiting to main menu and starting a game, although this is not new.
• The new wiki is being developed, so this update was heavily delayed.
