What's new in Endless Sky 0.10.6

Feb 19, 2024
  • The Gatling Turret and Javelin Turret now each require one crew member.
  • The timer ship in "Sad Archie" has been given the "ramming" personality to improve its consistency.
  • Animated ship and planet sprites are now correctly rendered in the hail panel instead of not being rendered at all or being rendered at a high frame rate.
  • Gave the stock Dreadnought its fourth Torpedo Launcher back that it had lost in a previous release to make room for a bigger battery; it didn't need the bigger battery.

New in Endless Sky 0.10.5 Pre-release (Jan 29, 2024)

  • Some other major changes and additions are:
  • Expanded the mechanics behind asteroid mining, including the addition of mining lasers that increase the yield of asteroids, tractor beams that pull ores toward your ship, dedicated mining ships in human space, and a new mission in the Sparrow introduction that goes over the basics of asteroid mining.
  • Added a small pirate region to the south, home to the remnants of a collapsed government: the Confederated Councils of the Outer Rim. Includes the addition of various new pirate ships and weapons. This is the first of a number of planned expansions to pirate content and gameplay, with the goal of making it so that playing as a pirate is a more viable option. Stay tuned for more in future updates.
  • You can now review past hails and status messages by opening the messages log panel, default "/".
  • Lowered the brightness of the center of the galaxy sprite to make the system names in the galaxy's core more readable.
  • Plugins can now customize the services that a spaceport offers, and even the name that appears on the spaceport button.
  • The state of your capslock key is now tied to the state of fast-forward in the game if your capslock key is bound to your fast-forward control. This means that toggling your capslock key even when the game window is not in focus will also toggle the game's fast-forward.
  • The list of plugins and the selected plugin description in the plugins panel can now scroll, instead of causing too many plugins or verbose descriptions to overflow the menu.
  • Bug fixes:
