Customisation and modification of the concept ships and mechanics for the ships

Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) has just rolled out patch 4.0.1, replacing the previous 3.24.4 version as the official LIVE game update for their space simulation universe. This patch brings a multitude of exciting enhancements and improvements across various aspects of the game, promising players a more immersive and seamless experience.

Enhanced Locations and Polish

Players can look forward to significant refinements in contested zones and frontier outposts with this patch. Client performance optimization ensures smoother gameplay, while LOD (Level of Detail) and lighting polish breathe new life into these areas. The updates aim to prevent players from getting stuck by removing obstructive geometry, ensuring an uninterrupted adventure through the stars.

New Babbage receives a meticulous lighting polish and performance pass, addressing excessive head bobbing on stairs for a more comfortable exploration experience.

Additional location updates include expanded asteroid exclusion at jump tunnel exits, minimizing risks during travel between destinations.

Gameplay Tweaks and Enhancements

Gameplay mechanics have seen noteworthy adjustments as well. Stealth components now carry a slightly reduced impact thanks to IR/EM class modifier tweaks. AI defense turrets are more formidable than ever with increased rotation, tracking, and acceleration speeds—making encounters even more thrilling.

Bounty hunters should note that several missions now offer slightly reduced rewards, encouraging strategic planning and skillful execution. Furthermore, harvestables added to Pyro rock formations and acidic caves present fresh opportunities for resource gathering.

The addition of personal cooldowns following certain Pyro missions encourages players to explore other content within the universe before revisiting these tasks.

Starship Overhauls

Several starships have undergone substantial overhauls in this patch:

• Starfighter Ion: Behr LaserCannon charge mechanics have been removed and DPS rebalanced for better combat efficiency.
• Mirai Guardian: Structural integrity sees improvements with enhanced thruster health and reduced cockpit light glare for optimal piloting conditions.
• Anvil Ballista & Nomad: Personal storage integration offers convenient inventory management within these ships' interiors.
• RSI Mantis: Storage upgrades enhance functionality alongside bedframe modifications for added comfort during voyages.

Moreover, ship balance updates refine cargo loading processes across various models like Mustang Alpha and Aurora series vessels.

Hauling Fixes

Hauling enthusiasts will appreciate specific attention given to refining cargo-related activities:

1. Cargo mission rewards are adjusted so full completion is required before receiving maximum compensation
2. Cargo visibility inconsistencies within freight elevator kiosks at pick-up points are resolved
3. Warehouse orders accurately track collected/delivered cargo quantities preventing discrepancies
4. Rank progression issues regarding hauling missions post-introduction phase are fixed allowing seamless advancement
5. Supplies lingering undesirably within warehouses post-delivery efforts were eradicated guaranteeing effective logistics management

These targeted solutions assure dedicated haulers efficient task fulfillment unburdened by logistical challenges impacting productivity!

Core Tech Updates

• Physics network sync enhancements streamline real-time interactions.
• RMQ hybrid-service network optimizations improve server stability.

1. Players will no longer face repeated disconnections with error code 60030 or be locked out of the Persistent Universe (PU).
2. Black screen errors have been resolved; correct error messages will now display when issues occur.
3. Desync issues causing invisibility among players have been fixed.
4. Elevator "black void" glitches leading to falls are now rectified, improving navigation reliability across stations.
