Star Ruler - Patch v1.0.5.0

Dieser Patch von Version 1.0.4.4 auf v1.0.5.0 behebt bzw. bietet folgende neue Upgrades sowie Verbesserungen für das Spiel:
 

• [Fixed] A long lag before joining a multiplayer game in progress that appears as a freeze (but eventually does connect).
• [Fixed] Modded EmpireNames.txt and EmpireColors.txt are now used in the lobby.
• [Fixed] Tips files were showing up as languages.
• [Fixed] Freeze when holding alt for range rings while hovering on an enemy unit.
• [Fixed] Antimatter generators would not explode when disabled due to lack of control.
• [Fixed] Queue management commands did not work for dry docks in multiplayer.
• [Fixed] Light/Heavy/Stealth hulls were incorrectly scaling with level, making them much too powerful at later tech levels.
• [Fixed] Ships can now be retrofitted / scuttled at dry docks.
• [Fixed] The victory message was not showing up when eliminating all enemy teams in a team game.
• [Fixed] Docking stations into planets or carriers could crash.
• [Fixed] Starting a multiplayer game with teams could crash due to timing issues.
• [Fixed] When hovering over a sub system with a modifier/link attached to it, the correct stats will now be shown on the left.
• [Fixed] Overriding controls that had a default key assigned to them would create duplicate bindings and not be displayed correctly in the options menu.
• [Fixed] Hotkey groups are now saved and loaded.
• [Fixed] The Rack Mount was misbehaving at small scales. It now behaves much more sensibly at all scales.
• [Fixed] Fixed jittery movement of ships in multiplayer (except in very high-lag situations).
• [Fixed] Manual transfer orders did not work for MP clients and did not save.
• [Fixed] The order list on completely idle ships would not properly display for clients.
• [Fixed] Boarding defenses were not scaling up, making them wholly ineffective.

• [Changed] Nano armor hitpoints and damage reduction now only increase with armor research, while regeneration rate increases with nanotech research only.
• [Changed] Multiplayer server names now default to "<nickname>'s Game".
• [Changed] Clicking the planet lost message now zooms to the system the planet was lost in.
• [Changed] Version compatibility is now checked before joining the lobby, instead of after starting the game.
• [Changed] When a treaty ends prematurely because of one party lacking the required materials / research, a message is now displayed.
• [Changed] Use tool only appears in the right click menu if the ship could actually use that tool on the clicked object.
• [Changed] Stations built from orbital dry docks now correctly orbit the original planet.
• [Changed] System Searches (used by the AIs) should now be faster.
• [Changed] The hovered object poll now uses the OctTree, improving performance by ~10% in large galaxies.
• [Changed] Arrow key movement speed now changes more drastically with zoom level, instead of being exceedingly slow when zoomed out.
• [Changed] Zoom in now locks on to the system plane, so missing a target will no longer zoom "through" the system.
• [Changed] The Remnants now use designs with more advanced technology in them. Analysing or boarding their designs will let you build high-tech toys much earlier.
• [Changed] The system rings are now larger so as to fully contain the bounds of the system.
• [Changed] Space damage is now percentage based.
• [Changed] System ring owner color is now based on military strength rather than pure ship count.
• [Changed] Systems are only marked as under attack if either you or the enemy have military presence.
• [Changed] Systems that are contested now glow rather than their ring changing color.
• [Changed] Distant icons for ships that are taking damage now glow.

• [Balance] All armor levels are now equalized, making more advanced armor more viable.
• [Balance] Ablative armor now scales the same way as other armor, giving it significantly more hitpoints at higher tech levels.
• [Balance] Torpedoes now use less ammo.
• [Balance] Planets now have a damage resistance related to cities, capitols, and bunkers. This scales with level, increasing their longevity late-game.

• [Added] Savegames may now be deleted in-game.
• [Added] Added an 'experimental' tab to the options menu. Has various completely unexplained options that aren't quite ready for release, but mostly work.
• [Added] Dedicated server binary to run a server without playing or rendering the graphics.
• [Added] UPnP support: port forwarding is no longer necessary to host a server when using a modern router that supports UPnP.
• [Added] Moving your mouse to the edge of the screen now moves the camera. (Can be turned off from the options menu).
• [Added] Options menu settings for ambient brightness and multiplayer server autosave.
• [Added] 3D movement orders: Double right clicking and holding the right mouse button now lets you adjust the vertical component. (Also works by holding control, single right clicking and holding)
• [Added] Added support for scripted planet queues. Use '<script call="Module::Function" />' in a queue to use a function of the type 'bool Name(Planet@).' Return true to prevent the rest of the queue from running.
• [Added] A grid is now displayed on every system's XZ plane. (Can be turned off from the options menu).
• [Added] Added 'OrderList::leaveFleet()' to remove a ship from its fleet.
• [Added] Added a new weapon: Artillery. Huge range, massive damage, but very slow fire rate. May only be equipped to stations.
• [Added] Added log & log10 functions for formulas.
• [Added] Added new planet conditions: Plains (Cheaper buildings), Volcanic (Weaker buildings), and Geothermal vents (Faster electronics/advanced parts production).
• [Added] Empire messages now have a category. Categories can be toggled on or off when expanding the ticker display.
• [Added] Options to control the display or hide the distant icons for ships, stations and planets.
• [Added] Race Customization: before the game starts, you can pick traits affecting your empire in various ways. Traits are picked with a point-buy system.
