Note:
This update will reset your settings back to their defaults. Sorry for the
inconvenience.



Game Start / “ISV Serenity” issues
● The collision model of the lander “ISV Serenity” has been changed. It is now much
easier to get it back on its feet, particularly for new players.
● A display bug in the lander preview in the mission selection lead to people assuming
that the Serenity was the best lander. For new players, we recommend the “ISV
Odyssey”.
● Story Mode is now selected by default when game is started the first time
● In Story Mode the lander is not rotated during surface entry anymore, making it
easier to prevent crashes.

Star System:
● Changed out of bounds handling in star systems: Ship now activates autopilot mode
and returns to star system
● Star System jump out sound was being played a bit too early which could cause to
an unwanted jump abort by the player
● Sometimes the player wasn't set back to the right position in the star system when
opening and closing the galaxy map after an encounter

Lander cargo:
● Hint about cargo unload of lander when docking and undocking added to resource
screen
● In addition the lander gets unloaded when going into orbit and when leaving the
resource screen
● Added lander cargo overview to planet overview when in orbit

Encounter:
● In rare cases the player ship could have been placed inside the Ilitza starport model
when entering the encounter from a specific angle. Fixed.
● In rare cases the player got stuck in the Cueddhaest starport when undocking. Fixed.
● Fixed a hiccup when activating weapons and shooting aliens for the first time

Items:
● When Zoe used an item to scan for locations, the item couldn't be sold anymore.
● When the last crew member died, or the ship got destroyed during a jump, “game
over” wasn't always triggered properly which could lead to a zombie ship
● Metal Scrapper spawns uncommon/common resources instead of rare/uncommon

Interface:
● Mission log and end screen log is now scrollable with mouse and right stick
● We had to disable the possibility for own log book entries for now, but we plan to
bring it back in an improved form
● Achievement screen scales now in different resolutions and is properly scrollable
● Ship and Lander Details in the ship menu are now positioned near the selected
device and also work in 4:3 resolutions
● Resource Icons are no longer shown when ship menu is open
● When an alien got bored by bad trade offers, re-entering the trade menu could lead
to different issues. Fixed.

Quest:
● Quest "Unfriendly Competition" could lead to an endless interception in some rare
cases and could lead to an unwanted diplomacy loss.
● Stowaways are now discovered when player is scanned by Logos. Previously you
had to discover them to hand them over, confusing players.
● The Logos Case File Quests could lead to unwanted chains of diplomacy changes
● Intercepting a Marauder could cause some unwanted chains of interception
afterwards
● Meorcl criminals are now affected by the psychic blocker
● Meorcl cargo scans don’t take away the DNA sampler anymore
● Fixed several re-docking problems in several quests (eg. when healing Kirsten)
● Fixed some cases where ships would intercept endlessly without any purpose. If you
still encounter this behaviour we would be very grateful for any savegames that
exhibit this bug.
● Removed a secret encounter from last badland sector - but be careful, there are still
dark things awaiting in quiet sectors!
● Fixed cargo scan behavior of the Logos in hostile mode
● Fixed an issue that could lead to Logos ships with multiple personalities (cargo scan,
quest giver, military ship,…)
● Fixed an issue that made plants think the lander was full in some quests
● Tylenium deliveries will no longer send you to hostile gates
● Fixed an issue where a gate could ask for a Tylenium delivery even when the quest
hasn't been started
● Fixed some potential issues with aliens turning hostile during cargo scan
● No more Cueddhaest followers after Rapture
● Glukkt mining chief could get stuck in endless dialog mode in rare cases
● Many more small bugfixes…
