Happy Triggerfish Day!

TL/DR: Boost power to the damaged engine

So I was flying in a fury today. In a fight one of my engines was damaged slightly (93% health left) and everytime I gave some forward thrust, the ship would turn slightly.

I figured I'd mess around with the engines to see if I could try to compensate for the damage.

Going into the Power MFD (middle mouse click to lock zoom so that it doesn't affect scrolling) then overpowering the damaged engine slightly made it so that I no longer turned everytime I gave it some forward thrust. It was a pretty big difference and made the ship flyable again.

Additionally, there's probably the option of underpowering all of the other engines in the case of a severely damaged engine, but I figure this tip is enough to help anyone that gets caught in a bind.

New Features

Gameplay
Added Combat Logging Timer

Along with 3.20, we have added a new Combat Logging mechanic to avoid as much of this issue as possible. With this updated mechanic, while a player is in combat and outside of a green zone, the player and their ship will remain in the PU for a short period after exiting the game fully or to the menu. This also comes with a warning while exiting to menu to make sure you are in a safe area before leaving as it will leave your ship and character vulnerable at the location they left the server.

Good news everyone,

We managed to squeeze in a giant QoL for the Mole pilots. I do not want to give away the surprise, please pay close attention to our patch watch for more details.

Cheers

PS: Try pressing "m" in the pilot seat PPS: will hopefully be part of the next build

My guess is that the pilot will at least be able to view the mining HUD to get a better feel for distance from the rock and how close it is to breaking up.

Beating all 3 levels will reward you with the "Predator" badge.

Edit: It looks like another badge is also possible, "Apex Predator". I'm guessing you need to get 3 stars in each level, and maybe the hard version of those levels as well.

Some interesting info in the reports. The one I found interesting:

For example, the upcoming Argo SRV was tested internally and towed its first ships.

Some interesting info in here for those interested.

Edit: Zyloh responded on spectrum about some of this info (about 2 hours ago). Take it with a grain of salt as some of the notes here can be inaccurate. He specifically stated that ToW will continue to be developed. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/why-does-cig-keeps-communicating-stuff-pretty-badl/6069923

Check your email if you've been working hard on bug reports.

CIG is already aware of this, looks like someone is actively looking into it.
