Niiiice.

yay for disapperaing ship bug fix!

Worried about lowering the return of the fallen and reanimation to such low tiers. crash fixes always good.

Suprised to lack of balance changes on corvettes, novaliths, and pirate mercs, but it seems this was mostly a bug fix and advent patch.  next patch.

No changes to corvettes or the titan?  I wonder sometimes if they listen to the community at all...

I guess i have to wait to the next patch.

Now advent rebel players can rejoice--there's been a lot of hate mail.

 

edit:

If Phead is worried then thats a good thing: all major techs at such low tiers.

Well thats the biggest tech tree rearrangement yet, could certainly silence those who say the unity is weak.

It means neither you nor the AI will have to micro perserverance when you are not in combat to help heal your ships.

It was previously set to OnlyInCombat meaning the ability would only autocast when it was engaged in battle.

Anytime will basically do what it says allowing the autocast to fire anytime an appropriate target is found needing healing.

This update was mainly to get crash fixes in everyone's hands. Only the "safe" balance changes made it into this update. We've already got another one nearing completion for next week (hopefully) that will contain more changes.

Seeing as some of them didn't even work before, this is a huge boost to Advent...

I like the sound of those tech tree changes, but it sounds like the Artificial Incomptence will still think it doesn't need any stinking frigates or cruisers, only capital ships and novaliths

This is a good start, now I just pray for some Eradica buffs so it can actually be a DPS Titan and not weaker than support ones.

Excellent news!

I'm glad this update was released shortly after fixing reported crashes and that obscure missing ships bug.
