Cruiser Command

The new Cruiser Command patch 1.6 is now published. Here are the patch notes:

v1.6 (4/3 - 2013):
- Fixed an issue where Team 1’s ships would contribute the BC 2’s energy reg.
- Fixed an issue where small ships’ energy upgrade wouldn’t contribute to the BC reg when docked.
- Auto-turrets no longer target tracking beacons.
- Fixed an issue where reflective shield didn’t reflect properly.
- Increased broadside damage from 5x60 to 5x70.
- Increased broadside cooldown from 1.125 to 2.
- Increased broadside energy cost from 100 to 800.
- Fixed a visual issue where the BC would look like it was always loaded with Yamato.
- Possibly fixed the kermiculite issue.
- Modified all consoles. You no longer lose control of your marine while in a console. You can now leave a console by selecting your marine and moving it away.
- Removed the construction storage.
- Fixed a bug where drones couldn’t load missiles on the bottom floor.

Use this thread to discuss the new patch.

looks good to me, can't wait to test the new broadside among other things

one small thing i noticed, when you first enter game and go to power, none of the entires show up, you just have a blank screen with a picture of a BC, you can just hit 1 adjust and it all comes back so its fine

experienced the same thing (in the same game) on the other battlecruiser

It turns out even when your connected to a console now you can get hit by debris and killed by fire so you are unable to use the console. This happened to my weapons guy while in the middle of a fight and we lost because he wasnt able to use the weapons

That is intended. You're supposed to be able to die while using a console. If it hasn't happened before, it's because of some bug no one told me about :P

As for the power console, I found the issue and fixed it. I published the fix along with a hotfix for missiles for team 1.

oh that was a bug? lol how fascinating

new bug : seems BC1 (red) has free missiles...

Ehm, should be fixed 20 minutes ago. Tell me if it still occurs in your next game.

This same bug as reported earlier happens also in the Upgrades console! -

Please fix this ASAP - It could kill the map :(
