Devlog - 13th Jan - Progress V2.10

Hi,

in the last few days I have started with the Assets for Episode 2.10 "The Drengar Conspiracy"

• Quthor Spacedock Exterior Scene (Re)-Done

• Progressive Uniforms Khelara Done (Shaved and Non-Shaved Versions)

• every single sprite and portrait of Khelara re-rendered with better physique

• Entertainment District Quthor designed

• some NPC created (more Art in a later Exclusive Post)

• Story Outline written, under Review (shoutout to Ashton for offer to support)

As I play tested V2.00 in parallel, I noticed a point that bugged me more and more. Bots provide a nice passive source of income, but Bounty and especially Trading are manually managed. With the Player Base one would expect that at least trading would be easier.

For that reason the next few days I want to implement an auto trading concept along the following lines

• once Base Hangar is constructed you can utilize trading drones

• you assign the drones to a trading route (e.g. Iltari Station <-> Xenos Station)

• you pick 3 commodities on each side that are to be traded (choose wisely)

• your drones will do a roundtrip trading each day, nightly financial report

• depending on your Argus capability (new expansion slots w/ Elite AI) you can control up to 10 drones over all available Galactic routes

• events may happen along the routes (risk or finds)

• each drone can be assigned either a Protector or Infiltrator Bot (may even capture attackers...) if you want

• income potential if fully decked out should be a nice few million per day

That was a bit much text but in a few days I can show the module in action.

If it works out, I'm thinking about releasing a 2.05 update (starting with VIP from end of the month as usual...) which has the autotrading, some QoL changes, some non-quest related NSFW additions, Khelara's progressive uniform (first stages, ...) and more. Save game compatible to V2.00.

After that I'll go for the 2.10 Quest content.

Let me know what you think.

y.v.
