Mess Technician and Almayer update

The Mess Technician is here!

There are 1-2 of these a round on the ship.

This also adds energy mechanics to the soda fountain, for easier drink mixing.

The rolling pin and slicing have been fixed as well, and the drink glass now holds 50 units, up from 30.

Carpotoxin from raw fish also deals less damage.

The Almayer has also received a few updates, namely to ...

New update: Tacmap area labels, M79 launcher, Foxtrot, Oppressor Praetorian, Hive structures

Tactical map area labels

The tactical map will now show you the names of some commonly-used areas directly on it, without having to open up a browser window to see them.

These can be disabled with a checkbox.

Alongside this, the rangefinder will now tell you if a set of coordinates can be supply dropped, mortared, CAS'd or OB'd.

New update: Intel officer, fulton, plastic explosives, radio tuning, more ghost roles

Intel and the Intelligence Officer

Intel items spawn at random spots on the planet.

Paper scraps, progress reports, folders, and technical manuals are found with a data detector, read, and then stored in the Almayer's intel room for points.

Progress reports may require a paper scrap to be read first, and its data submitted to the Intel computer inside the Intel room; these clues are listed on the View Intel Objectives window available to all Intel-trained personnel.

New update: MK1 assault rifle, bullet boxes, random ARES crates and Requisitions improvements

Few more prerequisites for Intel, please get me out of the Intel mines, and more fixes.

MK1 Assault Rifle

The M54C MK1 assault rifle has been added.

It has 95-round magazines instead of 40, less scatter, and one more round in burst fire compared to the MK2 that you are used to.

Its under-barrel grenade launcher also carries 5 grenades instead of 3, but fires slower.

The only place you can get it from as a squad member is Requisitions. They get a minimum of 3 fo...

New update: Fireteams, Echo squad, night vision optic, sprite changes, weapon crosshairs

First update since the Christmas break, with 500 bug fixes and some of the changes required for Intelligence Officer in a future update.

Fireteams

Fireteams are here, at the special request of @Alec "Protag" Buchanan, as a (late) birthday present. These let Squad Leaders create up to three fireteams by clicking on their squad tracker compass alert on the right side of the screen, which can have marines assigned to them and one promoted to Firet...

Chance's Claim Planet Map

By Noctyrn

A new planet map has been ported: Chance's Claim.

It is a large map, which will, in the future, have FORECON commanding officer survivors spawning on it round-start.

Make sure that you don't get sniped by the turret in the colony operations center (light blue).

Also, make sure that you OB A-Block and wipe as a marine in the reactor north of it.

Fire, incendiary orbital bombardment, mortar, ammo and grenades

Fire is here!

This includes the incendiary OB warhead, incendiary mortar shell, incendiary shotgun shells and specialist ammo, M40 HIDP incendiary grenade, and molotovs, but not the flamer yet. The flamer will be added in a future update. Please send help, it is 6 AM.

New update: Hive leaders, burrowed larva, M54CE2, XM88, XM51

M54CE2 Heavy Assault Rifle

By @cephalo222

The M54CE2 is here. Its case includes a bipod, which you must deploy to use it effectively.

It can rapidly gun down any xenos in front of you if you fire controlled bursts.

It is obtainable in Requisitions; 3. Three are included in the armaments vendor for free, and bundles of two can be bought for $4000.

XM88 Heavy Rifle

By @magicocity

The XM88 has been added, it's a gun that rewards good accuracy...

New update: New Varadero, telecommunications towers, claw sharpness

New Varadero

By @feroxz

Aurallianz has ported a new planet map: New Varadero

It is a beach map with both landing zones at the north, a crashed hunter ship southeast, and a cave network southwest.

It also has a surgery table near the northwest landing zone.

Telecommunications towers

• Comms towers are in, which need to be repaired, powered, tuned with a security access tuner, and turned on before marines on the planet can use radio channels...

New update: Supply drops, sensor tower, motion detector, energy chemistry

Supply drops

Supply drops are here, letting Command and Requisitions drop a crate with supplies at the given coordinates if the area's ceiling doesn't prevent them. No longer are you forced to have your entire metal resupply filtered by Bravo through osmosis.

These coordinates are the same that mortars use, and can be obtained by using rangefinders.

The supply pads are located in Requisitions, one for each squad labeled with a colored letter. Placing a closed crate on each...

New update: Survivors, shotgun handfuls and the Gardener Drone strain

Survivors

Survivors spawn on the planet at round-start and must loot anything they can find if they hope to survive long enough to be rescued by the marines. You will also spawn with random gear but are guaranteed a flashlight in your survival pouch. Remember to turn it on!

This update also adds many missing weapons, magazines, materials, lootable corpses, and armor to our five-planet maps. Six survivor weapons have also been ported: the AR10 and 96FS by @Adam (Stacks), M16, MP5...

New update: Power, post-hijack evacuation and the Carrier caste

See the video above for a demonstration of the Carrier.

The Carrier is a T2 xenonid caste that the Drone can evolve into, and as the name implies, its main purpose is to carry eggs and parasites.

If you somehow loved doing logistics as a marine but want to do it as a xeno, this is the caste for you.

It can carry 8 eggs and 16 parasites and throw the latter onto marines. The days of the Queen having to order drones and lesser drones to ferry eggs and parasites around are over...

New update: Praetorian and Warden Praetorian

See the video above for a demonstration.

The Praetorian is a T3 xenonid caste that both Spitters and Warriors can evolve to, centered around its acid stacking mechanic.

Each spit will apply one stack to the marine it hits, and its spray acid will apply two with each hit. Upon reaching five stacks, the marine takes an extra 30 damage.

It also has an acid ball, which can be thrown at a given location and will explode into 14 spits. A marine can be hit by a maximum of 4 of them...

New update: Tactical map, gun and melee delay fixes, shotgun sentry

Tactical Map 

This lets marines and xenos view the current planet's map through an action in the action bar.

It can be updated every 4 minutes by Command staff in the CIC and by the Queen to give each side drawn directions and a static view of everyone else's position at the time of the update. Command and the Queen can see the positions in real time instead.

In the future, all xenonids will get a live-updating map while the Queen is in ovi, and marin...

New update: Shotgun stuns, Sniper/Omni sentry, planet map vote, LV updates

Shotgun stuns

Contributed by Verm

Buckshot and slugs will now stun xenonids if shot at a close enough range. This excludes very large xenos (T3, Queen) and very small xenos (Larva, Parasite).

The Scout Weapons Specialist will also get access to high-impact magazines, with the same effect at a greater range.

This also fixes slug ammo not firing any projectiles.

Note that the Drone doesn't get knocked back due to a bug in the vid...

Feature Priority Poll: Next Xenonid caste

The mortar and sentry update is now done, which was the winner of the first community-wide feature priority poll on Discord.

A few things to note:

• These alternate between community-wide, and Patreon only.

• All of these will eventually be implemented (this is not a Minecraft mob vote), but the winner will be implemented first.

• The poll will run for 72 hours, after which Whisper and I will focus on implementing it.

Mortars

• You can buy them at Requisitions, starting with one for free.

• The two types of shells available at launch are the high explosive mortar shell and the flare/camera shell.

• The mortar can be used by anyone with an engineering skill of 1 (the pamphlet for it has been added as well), and they are aimed to a coordinate obtained with the rangefinder, then dialed to account for the random offset, being able to shoot very far away.

New update: SL/Queen trackers, squad preference, Savannah update

A smaller but quicker update this time, as there were some bug fixes we had to publish early.

Squad Leader / Queen trackers

Contributed by ShadowCommander and DrSmugleaf

Gone are the days of not knowing where your Squad Leader is as a marine, or where the Queen is as a xenonid. A tracker on the right-hand side of the screen will now point you towards their location. See the video above for a demonstration!

These don't work with camera rotation...
