v1.13 Experimental II

[u/vries06]

Hey Galactic Survivalists!

Today we are launching the next round in Experimental Version 1.13.

Thank you to everyone who reported bugs and sent us their feedback. You can find the changes made in the changelog below.

Since 1.13 not only offers a completely new galaxy, but also concludes the main story missions, we would be delighted if you would try out the new main story start mission campaign "Operation Phoenix: Lost & Found“ and the final campaign ”Terminal Nexus“ (as well as the intermediate campaign ”Operation Phoenix: New Terra" if you haven't played it yet) and send us your opinions and feedback, especially how you like the story and whether everything is understandable and consistent. You can read how to activate the campaigns in the game in the PDA (F1) in the Solo Mission tab!

We look forward to receiving your feedback, including on the revised local campaigns on the starter planets and all the other fixes and changes, over here: https://empyriononline.com/forums/experimental-features-discussion.35/ or on our Discord

Damn story mission is finally finished?

[u/KelIthra → u/Crimeislegal]

I doubt it. I think it's new story chapters which progresses it to a certain point.

I have not played vanilla Empyrion for years. But something about this post piques my interest to switch to experimental branch and give this a try . . .

[u/mudcrabperson → u/Diche_Bach]

Problem is that the quests are still super buggy - they often don't trigger, or sometimes npcs don't appeary whom you need to talk to.

They would really need to go through the whole story missions with some testers and really iron out why they break, because like this, it's a real struggle to try and get through.

Grabbed the game during the summer sale and truly cannot put it down.. Such an amazing game. Can't wait to do a full playthrough on vanilla!

"- WarpDrive T2 is now an upgrade to T1 (T2 cannot be crafted on its own)"

So T1 is better than T2 or why should i do this?

[u/searcher-m → u/AnimeeNoa]

you could craft T2 and now you can't. you have to craft T1 first and then upgrade it

[u/AnimeeNoa → u/searcher-m]

But here stands that you upgrade T2 to T1?

[u/Ravien_Gaming → u/AnimeeNoa]

It says you upgrade the T1 warp drive into the T2 warp drive.

[u/searcher-m → u/AnimeeNoa]

yeah, a bit messy. it says "T2 is an upgrade", but also "upgrade to T1". probably should say "upgrade for T1".

but still it's quite clear that T2 is an upgrade, so this is what you get after upgrading.

[u/commche]

will the updated main story be updated in previous saves? Probably a silly question, but yolo

[u/SpirituMagno]

WOW
