Catch Me Up?

[Edymnion]

Hey all, been too busy to play for a couple of months. Last I played the rail patch had just dropped.

Can anyone give me a quick overview of whats happened since then? Don't need anything super detailed, just basic idea. Like I'm hearing that cannons and beams got some passive effects, and that the ship hp system went into effect?

Yes, ship HP was implemented. Now systems add structural HP and armor adds armor HP and a small amount of structural HP. I'm not very good at this, but after shields drop, armor HP absorbs 50% of damage to hull blocks and no defense of structures. Also the latest update fixed a lot of bugs, but also destroyed beams/slave combos. Almost every ship I have ever made got power failures now, and we are waiting for a new update to fix beams

That did the trick, can't believe I forgot about that.

So, point defense AI was improved, this is very good news. Are we still running against the issue where beam turrets try to lead shots like they were cannons (and hence can't hit the broad side of a barn)?

I think that was fixed. Beams hit targets just fine lately.
