Hello,

Today we’re releasing Patch 1.37, which introduces a number of improvements including a new ship control scheme for PC players, an upload all discoveries option and improved trade product prices. This patch will be available today on PC and PS4 – read on for full patch notes!

PC control scheme

In this patch, we’ve added a new tethered ship control scheme for PC mouse & keyboard players. This option can be toggled, and changes ship controls to be cursor based, meaning you’ll be able to direct your ship easily using your mouse. In addition, PC mouse and keyboard players can now look around the ship’s cockpit by holding the ALT key. This new option will be active by default, and can be toggled back to the original control scheme via the General Options menu.

Other changes and improvements

• Allowed economy Scanner to be used from the Quick Menu to locate an outpost
• Improved prices trade outposts offer for trade

Howdy!

Accolade complete: this webserver has killed its 3rd HDD

Thanks to the people that gave me a notice earlier today via email and moddb.

The damaged HDD meanwhile is replaced and backups seem to be working. It will take some time for the server to rebuild the cache for all the pages so it will be a bit slow in the next few hours.

If any chars got banned due to the failed CF updates I will unban tomorrow in the morning after the daily updates ran through.

Hello!

Thanks for continuing to share your feedback and reporting issues to us – we’ve been working hard on our next patch which is coming to both PS4 and PC today! Here’s a look at the fixes and changes you can expect:

Today we would wish to inform you about our recent changes that will improve the beginning experience for new players. Old and returning players also get some love!

Quote from EVERSPACE News

We're currently busy migrating the game to Unreal Engine 4.16, adding more controls options for VR and implementing the long-awaited Hardcore Mode. While doing so we received a few alarming reports about a problem with the very last mission of the game. It must have found its way in with the last hotfix - so we decided to branch to the old code base and hotfix the hotfix.

Here's the tiny little list of changes for this patch:

• Fixed very last mission not progressing correctly
  
• Fixed Predetermination glyph incorrectly removing all jump suppressors

Hello Everspace Community! We're almost down to ONE WEEK LEFT for the full launch.

@ROCKFISH_Andi

has some important information regarding joystick controls at release:

Before buying, please be aware that the game currently does not support joysticks. We will start working on joystick support right after release.

Also note that only XInput controllers are fully supported (XBox controllers and the likes). When playing in VR you will have to rely on a controller.

We know that there are many space game fans out there who own joysticks and might be wondering why there currently is no support. Please consider the following:

• Unreal Engine 4 does not offer native Joystick support in version 4.14 (which we are currently using) and we are a fairly small team of 12 people, with until very recently only 3 coders working full-time on the game.
  
• Everspace was specifically designed for mouse and keyboard. It is the

Either on 16th or 17th May there will be a security update on the SWAT Server.

This means that the webside will be offline for about 10mins.

Also the connection to the Crossfire Server could be disturbed during that time.
