Wow! Awesome! Great changes. I was most looking forward to the bomb/mine nerf. Thanks for noticing they were a little too good

[( Tchey )]

Thank you.

I have to test it, but it seems to be a very good first patch !

[Lyranaar]

Wow! Thanks a lot!

The changes sound great! Good thing we just finished a game.

[PixelLord]

Shadow, please make this sticky. Thanks.

[Mivo]

Lots of interesting changes! Time to start a new game, then.

(Suggestion: Would love for patches to detect where the game was installed to and offer this location as the destination.)

The new energy changes have made my missiles-and-bombs build completely useless. I'm level 18, with a +3energy regen charger and +100en max - that's a pretty decent equipment investment, 120 power load and 2 equipment slots - and here's the result.

Firing a bomb OR a missile takes 50 energy. I have 229 max energy.
This means I can fire four times before running out of energy.
My energy regen rate is 6.5 per second. This means that once I run out of energy, I must wait 7.6 seconds each time between firing weapons.

As a result, combat against any more than 3 units at once has become completely infeasible without spamming energy consumables. Given that most enemies I fight at this level are hordes, I may have to simply switch to an all-laser build now and stay with it until the game is patched again.

Lasers won't make you any better off... Same energy drain. I too was having a hard time keeping my energy up while playing today. I suppose the engineering stat is a little more important now? I've now got 3 slots devoted to energy (2 batteries and one recharger) and I still have pretty serious energy issues.

When I press W, if I hold it for more than a second the ship starts and stops repeatedly.

Why does W need to stop movement when we have S?

decreased SpawnChance of teleport anomaly from 10.0 to 5.0 (gornova)

Happy about this one. Seemed like half the time I clicked on an anomaly I ended up across the other side of the universe!
