1.67.4 just hit the Experimental branch, featuring:
- A careful review of drone camera footage revealed that some crew, when instructed to transfer propellant from your ship to a derelict, would not send the supply crate if they suspected the derelict ship would fail to boot up. Several such crates stashed in hidden compartments of the cargo hold were discovered.
- Sometimes your crew was overzealous when sending propellant to derelicts, sending two crates instead of one required.
- Some of derelicts ships recently registered at the Enceladus station were found to have been maliciously tuned, with reactors set up cold enough to prevent actual booting of the ship, or set so high that the ship in question would explode shortly after the reboot procedure. To prevent this station authorities introduced mandatory tuning review when registering new ships, and such ships will now have their tuning settings restored to default values.
- An organized crime organization was discovered dealing with illegally obtained transponders back on the station. Investigators found that the nefarious group was scavenging transmissions for catastrophic failures of salvaged ships, building exact replicas of such ships, and fitting them with transponders obtained from the wreckage. Authorities moved swiftly, dismantling the operation and arresting the perpetrators before they could carry out further fraudulent activities.
- Updated translations.
Feedback Focus: SRO derelict recovery balance. With the new introductions, recovery of ships that are in a very bad state now caries a risk of catasthropic failure that will actually prevent you from recovering the ships. This not only patches up a immersion-breaking recovery process, but likely shifts the profit margin of SRO subscription. As such, I'm still looking for feedback on the profitability of your salvage operations.
