1.9 Beta 3

[george moromisato]

Happy holidays! 1.9 Beta 3 is now available for download at the usual place: https://downloads.kronosaur.com/TranscendenceNext.zip

This beta has a couple of new features:

1. Eridani has some new missions, including access to the Centauri settlement
2. The Corporate Command Ellen Quinn mission arc is now complete.
3. Improvements to the Black Market
4. Improvements to Outlaw Miners
5. New Commonwealth residentials missions.
6. New Invoke Menu UI (NOTE: Eternity Port has not yet been updated to use this).
7. New images for Black Market stations, Tenhove Sentinels.

We recommend that you start a new game on this version. Avoid loading old games (it will work, but it won't be as good as a fresh game).

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions and bug reports!

The new 'orbitExact order seems promising.

Question: Is there a way to make ships shoot at enemy stations during a (permanent) 'orbitExact order? So far, my orbiting test ships have only shot at enemy ships while orbiting, while completely ignoring enemy stations. (If they could be made to shoot at enemy stations while orbiting, I could redo my zapsat items to use ships instead of missile objects.) Actually, I could simply remove the items and have specialized autons that merely orbit the mothership and zap at enemies.

during your order to the orbital patrol you can specify the target sovs , T,s,b ( i think, I am rusty ) for the friendly : that would send it after all ships and stations : but if it's a mix then simply 'attackNearestEnemy will get them all.

I noticed that ships like the Mantiore, Minotaur en Centurion now have 9 device slots instead of 8. Any other ship changes ?

Finally got a chance to have a sorta playthrough. Excellent. Lots more content, Eridani looks good, the extra missions are very good, the new images are great (as always).
I particularly like the little rank progress windows, they look good and are really helpful in explaining what is happening.
And the expanded mining content is excellent.

Your work is so good that, except for the patch spider crash, the only bugs I can ticket are minor!
