Build 153: Balance Prep — Astrox Imperium News

Build 0.0153

I spent a good amount of time preparing for these next 4 updates. Spreadsheets and flashcards, I will be spending the next 4 weeks working on balancing. I will start with the ships and go from there. This update focused on polishing up a few things before switching gears for the big balancing pass.

- Fixed Refine mission bug that was preventing proper mission completion check.
- Fixed Fabricator mission bug that was preventing proper mission completion check.
- Fixed GPS bug when using Warp Drive module while in auto GPS mode.

- Adjusted mission qualification level calculations for the station mission generator.
- Adjusted Refine mission code to check for proper refinery station before mission check is initiated.
- Adjusted Fabricate mission code to check for proper fabricator station location before mission check.
- Adjusted Passive Scan panel resize code to stretch the filter options panel instead of the scanner ring display when resizing the panel.
- Adjusted Passive Scan filter list buttons to shift vertically if panel is resized, thus showing maximum number of filter items in available space.

** Warp and Warp Drive stuff.
- Adjusted Warp drive panel layout, text sizes and background to be consistent with the other UI panels. ( Custom player coloration included ).
- Adjusted Warp fx displacement wiggle value. +0.15
- Adjusted Warp pitch scale for length on the ship warp drive.
- Adjusted Warp variable movement with and increase of 25 percent.
- Adjusted Warp timer calculation to reduce the warp distance calculation and thus overall warp total time. Distance means a little less than before.

- Adjusted Warp drive fuel consumption calculations to reduce overall fuel required based on warp distance. 20 percent reduction.
- Adjusted Warp drive calculations for fuel requirements based on the number of mercs in your fleet, has increased by 20 percent.
