Hello everyone!
Let’s have another sneak peek at our upcoming spring update.
Diving suit rebalance We always intended diving suits to be used only for acute pressure protection: during hull breaches and while swimming. However, there are not many actual downsides to wearing a suit all the time, so a lot of people do just that… which has effectively eliminated water pressure as a threat. We wanted to change that by encouraging you to take your suit off when you don’t need it. Here’s what we’re changing:
- Slowed flooding speed to give the crew more time to suit up during a hull breach. Hulls will fill with water more slowly, so the pressure will not become lethal as quickly.
- Added new animations to diving suits and made walking and running in a suit slower. Swimming speed has not been reduced.
