Over the last weeks, we've been working hard on the Combat Update, and it's taking great shape! We did realize though, that there's a lot of content that we want to add, and it would take us a lot longer than anticipated to finish everything that we had in mind. Since we told you before that we want to do more frequent, but smaller updates, we're going to split this update into two parts:
Combat Update Part I
Along with the usual bugfixes and QoL changes, this part will be containing one big new feature: Torpedoes! Since the purpose of this update is mainly to make combat more interesting and engaging, you (and the AI as well!) will be able to equip your ships with this high range, high damage but also high price weaponry. Torpedoes can be shot down, if you react fast enough, but if you don't, prepare yourself for some serious damage.
Alongside torpedoes, we're adding the specialized ships that we already announced in the last update. There will be ships that are especially strong against shields, hull, fighters, and so on. In order to be successful in combat you'll have to make sure that your strategy includes getting rid of these specialists first, before they take advantage of your weak points.
The last big features with this update will be more specialized weapons, giving weapons more specific roles, as well as improved control over your ships that are far away. You'll be able to visit sectors where you have ships or stations, so that you can give orders more effectively and don't have to warp all the way back to just tell your miner to change sectors.
Combat Update Part II
In part II we're going to address more visual issues. You can, amongst other things, look forward to coaxial weaponry and player-created turret visuals!
Have fun!

在过去的几个星期里，我们一直在努力的战斗更新，它的形状很好！不过，我们确实意识到，我们还有很多内容要补充，要想完成我们想做的每件事，要花比预期更长的时间。因为我们以前告诉过你，我们想做更频繁的，但较小的更新，我们要把这个更新分成两部分：
战斗更新第一部分
与通常的错误修正和生活质量的变化，这一部分将包含一个新功能：鱼雷！因为这次更新的目的主要是让战斗更有趣，更吸引人，你（还有AI）！将能够装备你的飞船，包括高射程、高伤害和高价格武器。如果你反应足够快，鱼雷可以被击落，但是如果你不这样做，你就要准备好承受一些严重的伤害。
除了鱼雷，我们还添加了我们上次更新时已经宣布的专门飞船。将有特别强大的船只对抗盾牌，船体，战斗机，等等。为了在战斗中取得成功，你必须确保你的策略包括先排除这些专家，然后再利用你的弱点。
这次更新的最后一个大特点将是更加专业化的武器，赋予武器更具体的角色，以及改进对遥远的船只的控制。你可以访问你有船或站的部门，这样你就可以更有效地下达命令，而且不必一路向后转，只告诉你的矿工改变部门。
战斗更新第二部分
在第二部分中，我们将讨论更多的视觉问题。你可以在其他方面，期待同轴武器和玩家创建炮塔视觉效果！
玩得高兴!
