Update 13.1.2020 (Alpha 331)
New features and Major Updates
- Missiles, torpedoes and laser designator added to game
- Required parts available in Marketplace and Ship Designer
- Missiles and Torpedoes are modular, requiring only the fuel tank and the thruster to function
- When building, add the Laser Sensor first for Torpedoes and the Impact Fuse first for Missiles, and add the thruster in last for either (order for other parts doesn't matter)
- The parts need to be snapped together and locked using the slider that is part of the fuel tank (otherwise will come apart at launch)
- Missiles and Torpedoes can be launched either manually (setting target speed and activating thruster) or with a launcher
- Missile launchers
- The payload needs to be snapped to the launcher and then locked from the launcher's slider
- Missiles or Torpedoes can be launched by using yolol or a button
- Missile launcher has 9 slots which can be launched separately from each other
- With YOLOL, it's possible to rotate between each slot by changing the SelectedTube field
- MissileLocked shows the currently selected tube's state (e.g. locked, empty, or not locked correctly)
- LaunchMissile is used to launch the payload
- Torpedo launchers work similarly to Missile launchers but only have 1 slot
- 15, 30 and 45 degree beams and plates available from Marketplace and Ship Designer
- Added new safe mode to avoid breaking ship parts with thruster usage if ship has durability errors (Settings -> Gameplay -> Ships)
- Added new option for restricting hosted ships movement to within safezone (Settings -> Gameplay -> Ships)
- Thruster Field Name Tool in Ship Designer
- Reorganized Bank Statement tab
- Torpedoes and Missiles are still very much in development and can explode unexpectedly or cause other issues, handle with care
- In Ship Designer all missile and torpedo parts need to be bolted to the ship in order for the ship to be allowed to be bought
- After this, the torpedoes and missiles would need to be unbolted, assembled again, locked and loaded into the launcher
- We recommend purchasing missiles & torpedos separately from marketplace for now, adding them to the ship after purchase
- "Torpedo Laser Sensor" and "Torpedo Maneuver Thruster" fields about thruster X and Y movement need to have matching names in order to function, but their default names are different
- Rename the default names ("OffsetX", "OffsetY", "yThrust" and "xThrust") to ThrustX and ThrustY for example
- Torpedoes instantly blow up, if safety is disabled and Torpedo's main thruster is set as active
- Torpedoes and Missiles override safety with "TriggerRange" which causes them to detonate when near other objects after launch, even though safety is still on
- Torpedo timer fields do not work
- Autobolt does not work correctly for torpedo launcher or laser designator
- Missiles, torpedoes and their launchers cannot be locked with their slider in Ship Designer
- Fuel is continuously drained once the main thruster is activated even if missile/torpedo's main thruster is turned off afterwards
- TargetThrust field is not carried over to universe if set in the Ship Designer and ship is bought
- Torpedo and missile parts are prone to getting stuck together if collided or set too close to each other
- YOLOL chips are not snapping to Torpedo YOLOL slots as intended
- Have the YOLOL chip positioned so that it's clipping inside the torpedo, release your grip of it, and then move it close to the slot
