Hello pilots! It's been a little quiet around here only because we've been hard at work tweaking and bug fixing since the Armed & Dangerous content was launched into the Beltegrades. We've got a couple more additions and a slew of adjustments to better your experience even more. Thanks for those who left feedback, caught issues, and vocalized concerns; this patch is for you.
This update is live on Steam and GOG right now, with PlayStation 5 and XSX set to update in a week or two once we're through certification.
Some highlights to look forward to:
Each variant of thruster has unique SFX, including brand-new spool-up sounds that hadn't been teased
The hidden Redemption set can now authentically be obtained
Catalyst: EMP Charges can be installed on Blasters
Many ship passive fixes to honor their original design intents, most of which are improved
Legendary stats weren't supposed to change, so we've reverted them to their prior more powerful state
Following up on the Armed & Dangerous update with new tweaks & bugfixes
Greetings Pilots!
We have a small patch that follows up on the Armed & Dangerous update going out today! Most notably, update 1.1.36252 significantly overhauls booster sound logic, giving set item and legendary boosters unique start and thruster audio.
The update also adds Redemption, an item set that didn’t quite make it into our last release. We’ve taken this update as an opportunity to fix a selection of bugs as well—a full changelog can be found at the bottom of this post.
A few small community-suggested tweaks have been made to localizations here and there to improve the text translations of EVERSPACE 2 in a few languages. Thank you to everyone who has submitted feedback through Crowdin!
This update is available on Steam, GOG, PlayStation, Xbox, and Microsoft Store.
Redemption Item Set
Pilots will now be able to find the Redemption item set. This mysterious collection of gear unlocks some unusual effects. We hope you enjoy figuring out what they do.
Redemption
Found in Khait Nebula 2/4 Set Items: Some asteroids are not what they seem. 3/4 Set Items: You sense weakness in the hearts of your enemies. 4/4 Set Items: Are they even real?
Dogmatic Scanner – Sensor Critical hits web targets for 3s
Zealous Core – Energy Core 50% reduced weapon energy consumption while cloaked
Eradicator – Gauss Cannon Deals 30% increased energy damage to webbed targets
While preparing the Art of EVERSPACE 2 for print, we found a few small fixes to make in the digital version. A new version has been uploaded for digital artbook owners on Steam and GOG.
