[Mathias Shallowgrave]

Beta 1 (30/10) Patch Notes

Eksploracja

• Moduł Discovery Scanner daje teraz dostęp do nowego trybu skanowania Full Spectral System (FSS)
  • FSS używany jest do odkrywania obiektów, zjawisk, USS-ów, scenariuszy, sygnałów SOS, celów misji etc.
    
  • Zlikwidowano klasy Discovery Scanerów (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced) i teraz jest to po prostu jeden moduł. Gracze dostaną zwrot różnicy Cr za skanery Intermediate i Advanced.
    

• Moduł Detailed Surface Scanner został zaktualizowany i oprócz normalnego trybu działania (skanowanie planet w SC), daje teraz dostęp do sond planetarnych.
  • Sondy wystrzeliwuje się w celu zmapowania planet, za co dostajemy dodatkowe dane na sprzedaż
    
  • Sondy odkrywają również ciekawe miejsca na planetach (np,. bazy obcych), jak również bogate w cenne złoża obszary w pierścieniach planetarnych (nowa mechanika górnictwa zostanie dodana do bety w późniejszym terminie)
    
  • Każde ciało ma wskaźnik "probe efficiency target". Jeżeli gracze zmapuje to ciało w 100% przy użyciu ilości sond równej lub mniejszej niż PET, to dostanie bonusowe Cr przy sprzedaży danych. 
    

• Dodano tag "First Mapped By" - dostanie go pierwszy pilot, który zmapuje planetę w 100% i sprzeda te dane (podobnie jak z tagiem First Discovered By)
  • Niemożliwe jest zmapowanie Sol, Achenar i Alioth - te systemy są już w pełni zmapowane
