EA Update 15.03.2022 (EA Build 824)
Patch type: Minor
Note: the same update also released on the PTU server. No separate PTU patch notes will be posted as the same changelog applies.
New Features
- Station Renaming: Stations can be renamed via the station list
- Towing Beam
- Towing Beam can tow ships and only ships
- Only one ship can tow one additional ship at a time
- The device consumes electricity in relation to the mass of the ship it's towing, 1000 kg mass requires 3 electricity per second
- Towing a ship inside a safe zone can be enabled for a specific ship in the Ships menu, from the setting "Allow towing in safe zone" allowing anyone to tow the ship
- Without this setting ships need to be decommissioned to be towable inside safe zones
- Towing a ship at high speeds can cause the towed ship to gradually move further away from the towing ship and ultimately detach from the tow beam
