SpaceBourne 2 Early Access Ver. 4.1.6 Released
SpaceBourne 2 Early Access Ver. 4.1.6

New Features And Changes:
This update might seem small in terms of text, but it is extensive in content.

• • We are excited to introduce new story missions and side quests that will provide hours of gameplay. Additionally, we've added several new features to enhance your experience. As these additions are closely tied to the storyline, we are keeping the details confidential to ensure a spoiler-free experience.
  
  
• • Creatures have been added to planetary surfaces. Now, each type of planet hosts a habitat with roaming wildlife appropriate to its environment. However, we would like to note that this feature is currently in prototype form for testing purposes. We plan to expand this content based on future feedback, particularly regarding performance.
  
  
• • The Turkish language has been updated.
  

**BUG FIXES:**
Reported by players as follows:

• • Some Xeghan stations are not unlocking the station's internal level. After entering the station, I find myself floating in a dark void.
  
  
• • When accessing my freelancers in the Faction Menu, I am unable to change the type of missions I want my Freelancers to focus on.
  
  
• • Despite leaving the Mothership at a station, I can still see it floating in space in every system (We have not been able to reproduce this bug, but have taken precautions to prevent its recurrence. Please report it if you encounter this issue again).
  
  
• • When I engage in combat within a station, I sometimes receive a “you have been killed” message instantly, even when my health is full. I am forced to reload the game.
  
  
• • Even though I have captured the mayor at a station, they are not being added to my list of prisoners.
  
  
• • I am stuck at the “Talk to Xema in the Council building” objective in my mission but cannot enter the Council building. Clicking on the door does nothing.
  
  
• • If I exit my ship while ascending from a planet's surface, my character stays in the atmosphere, but the ship moves far away. I can reach the ship, but the game does not progress.
  
  
• • When I engage in war with one faction, suddenly 5-6 other factions also declare war on me, even though there are no diplomatic relations between these factions when I check.
  
  
• • Sometimes when I trade, I sell containers on my trade ship but receive much less money than normal.
  
  
• • When the Warp drive is disabled during missions, if I am using a ship with decking on the mothership, I can only warp using the ship I am in. The mothership’s warp drive remains offline.
  
  
• • During station battles, when I approach support buildings near a planet, it throws me into the middle of the battlefield as if I had entered the planet.
  
  
• • The laser rifle's firing sound gets stuck in a loop and keeps playing if I change weapons while firing. This continues until the game is closed.
  
  
• • If I start a new game with the same character name while I have a saved game, when I load the old save files, the mission progress remains as in the old saved game, but the character is the new one.
  
  
• • When adding extra weapon slots to some ships and equipping weapons, the newly added weapons overlap at the ship's origin point, causing all weapons to fire from the same location.

• The meshes of mayors in stations are broken, and I can’t interact with them.
• Allocating power to engines slows down my ship instead of speeding it up.
• If I click on another item right after buying one in the widget, the SOLD item shows as unpurchased, and the bought item shows 0 TY, and I can buy an empty item.

• When I transfer items from the ship console on the mothership, they sometimes duplicate.
• After disembarking on the mothership deck, I can’t re-board my ship.
• Items in the mothership inventory disappear when I switch ships.
• When I warp with a ship from the mothership deck, I can’t access any UI, and I can’t return to the mothership.
• Some missions aren’t compatible with motherships and break the game if I attempt them in a mothership.
• Mothership drones either don’t work or spawn with errors.
• After releasing drones on the mothership, they disappear from the field after save-loading, though they show as active in the subsystem.
• When I use ships on the mothership deck, sometimes stats mix up between them, causing the mothership to be destroyed quickly.
• Bombardments on the mothership deal too much damage.

• And more than 40 minor bugs and errors were fixed.

NOTE
: Since the main story and dialogues have been significantly updated, we haven’t yet translated them into languages other than English. If you’d like to play in a different language, we recommend waiting, as translations will be added in upcoming updates.

"Creatures have been added to planetary surfaces. Now, each type of planet hosts a habitat with roaming wildlife appropriate to its environment. "

I've played many hours since this update and have yet to find any creature on planets.

Has anyone actually seen this?

Reported by players as follows:

• Jen's cave is floating high in the air.
• Mercenary missions are not working.
• My drones duplicated during spawning, doubling their count.
• When I take the Brotherhood Guild mission and kill any civilian at a random station before warping to Brotherhood HQ, it says I’ve joined the Brotherhood Guild. However, if I progress with the Brotherhood mission, it requires me to kill a civilian to join the Guild.
• I can declare war on myself, including on my own Houses.
• In the GLX mail system, the drafts, archive, and trash sections are non-functional, and the search feature doesn’t work either.
• "House House" is displayed instead of the proper name for the Houses I’ve established.
• My hover bike transformed into a glitchy object after pressing "break connection."
• I sometimes can’t see the Mothership warp target.
• The "Conspirational" story mission asks me to go to the "ambush route," but even in the correct system, there’s no story waypoint.
• In the "The Archive" mission, if I escape without killing the AIs, they fall off the map and don’t get destroyed.

Class Overhaul and Balancing

[Crispy]

This game is utterly fascinating so far. That's all I really have to say about it for now other than... still learning, but it's incredible the amount of freedom you have.

Even in just the tutorial mission, you:

- Start off on your home planet and receive the mission

- Walk to your starting ship

- Take off from the planet manually then leave its atmosphere

- Set your target to warp to

- Engage and destroy enemy scout ships

- Approach a field of debris as your target

- Eject from your ship after getting closer using a cloaking shield

- EVA through space to "land" on a portion of a destroyed station

- Engage in what is surprisingly good "fps" combat with your grav boots

- Grab the objective

- Escape back to your ship after being ambushed and before your ship is blown up

- Destroy one last ship

- Fly back to safety to receive your reward

---

I'm sure it's been said many times already in this thread that the game is QUITE janky, but it seems to add to its appeal, as far as I can tell so far. It very much reminds me of Daggerfall in space and might just be a game that one (I) can enjoy for an hour or two, come back to periodically, and just sort of fuck around with hopefully for years to come.

Can't wait for more polish, expansion to the game, bug fixing, and especially TYPO CORRECTION. For fuck's sake, "Engage cloack"?

Anyway, very neat. A hobbyist's space game.
