Thank you for the report. The 1.0.2 version has been deployed last thursday and appears correctly through Galaxy. However, it does not show on the GoG website and we are investigating why.

GoG's developer support team told us they have a QA phase on offline installers. So they have to test the game go through this phase and it will be available after that.

Sad to hear that. Are you currently in this situation? Can you send me your save files next time it happens?

2.0 - Advanced Tactics

Gameplay / MAJOR

Battleship Core System

Each Player Battleship has now a specific unsellable modifier called a "core system" that greatly impacts the strategies and builds:

- Excelsior: The Empire takes good care of its ships and has its squadrons regenerating twice as fast while in the hangar. A sturdy and balanced Battleship, good for mastering the game basics.
- Kaos: The scrappers always tinker and make the most out of what they have, they cannot have any "mint" (full life) squadrons as they always disassemble/reuse/sell anything not vital, all the squadrons they get are therefore patched. In exchange, they gain a small amount of scrap each time (represented as a price discount in shops)
- Jericho: Lots of weapons! They also are debuff specialists: when firing on a debuffed enemy, they gain a squadron and weapon damage bonus, but if the unit is not debuffed, they have a damage malus.
- Geno: Who needs life when they have stealth? All their squadrons have a life malus. But those with the stealth ability are directly deployed with stealth and, in addition, all stealthed squadrons gain a bonus sneack attack when getting out of stealth.
- Hammer: The definition of implacable. They sure do have a speed malus but, first, they are immune to their own weapons, witch makes the use of zone weapons a lot less troublesome but second, when one of their squadrons are hit by their own weapon they gain a tremendous damage bonus, making their slow advance sounds like a sure countdown to victory. Oh, and also, it starts with a "juggernaut", I'm sure you'll love this new unit.
- Void: Jack of all trade, shape it to your playstyle. Their access to the black market price and capturable pirating skills will surely help you to get the edge, and this new shiny weapon you'd like to try.

Battleship Starting setups

We reworked all enemy battleship setups to use a variant of the player core tech modifier and a larger array of weapons/officers/squadrons/auxiliary systems and offer more variety and challenges. Some particularities of each enemy faction:

- Empire battleships have the most mint troops, fighter/drone/frigates but a small quantity of total squadrons. In addition, their Core tech differs slightly from the player one, when they hit with a single target weapon they heal the adjacent units.
- Scrappers battleships have fighters and kamikaze drones with the brutal deployer auxiliary system. Endless quarter life kamikazes are their go to.
- Church battleships have one less squadron dock, but more weapons and always a hull breaker to break shamelessly your hull. They also have a defensive stance and will wait for you while raining metal and fire on your battleship.
- Akibara-Sung battleships use stealth and heat weapons, they will light your ship on fire if you're not vigilant, be careful of your heat gauge and those invisible (yet surely somewhere) stealthed squadrons.
- Kosh-Buendia battleships will sometime get their favorite unit out: The juggernaut! Be cautious of their extensive use of zone weapon, it can hurt.
- Pirate battleships have one less squadron dock but a lot of squadron reinforcements. The good news is that they are getting weaker one after the other, it's all about surviving the first waves.

New units

3 new categories of neutral units on the battlefield that can be "activated" during the fight:
- Anti-battleship Battery: Capture it and it will fire on the enemy battleship while you play with your squadrons
- Anti-Squadron Defense Battery: Do you feel a bit overwhelmed on the battlefield? This might give you the extra damage you need to take over.
- Nano-Bot Repair Field: Heal zone for your squadrons, pretty useful.

5 new types of squadrons
- Isolated Systems Prototype: No dock cooldown after death!
- Atemporal engine Prototype: Cannot be quickened or slowed down in any way.
- Decaying Field Prototype: Add some poison to their classic damages. Efficient against squadrons with lot of life.
- Parasite drone: See an enemy unit you like? Take control of it!
- Juggernaut: Blows the enemy battleship hull with an exploding drill the size of a building.

New weapons

8 new types of weapons with brand new effects
- High energy beam: Creates additionnal heat on the targeted system
- Debris catapult: Creates asteroids on the battlefield, quite nice to hide your units
- Repair Bot Injector: Heal + regen over time
- Engine Disruptor: Creates a big slow zone when you need more time to prepare for the party
- Matter Destabilizer: Inflict Damages Over Time, the frigates best friend (not)
- Core blaster: This one is peculiar, it litteraly makes one of your unit explode and inflict damages to everything next to it. Better be careful with this one.
- Force field Generator: Invincibility at the tip of your gun.
- Invisible field projector: Gives stealth to a unit, like magic but with less rabbit in a hat and more bullets in your enemies.

New Auxiliary Systems

4 new auxiliary systems for your battleship:
- Opportunist: Bonus on all timed squadron abilities when the enemy has critics
- Poisoned weapons: Add a DOT effect to all direct damage weapons
- Asteroid-field Holo-Mapper: Gives stealth to all your squadrons entering an asteroid field
- Gyges Field Generator: Gives a chance to avoid or sneak on enemies attacks, your choice

New Officers Abilities

5 new officers abilities
- Officer assist: No personnality. He does exactly what his friend next to him does. (Ex: if you have a 25% squadrons speed boost from the first officer, the assist officer doubles it to make a 50% boost).
- Weapon sabotage: When you dislike the enemy weapons, and you want it to stop firing.
- Advanced maneuvers: Boosts further the speed of your stealthed squadrons
- Battlefield auto-Krafter: When you're sad to lose a unit, but happy because it will be almost instantly replaced by a cute drone fleet mk1.
- Guerilla tactics: Choose it if mint squadrons are your nightmare.
