3030 Deathwar Redux - Update 0.938 - Better Derelict and lots of Fixes!

Hey everyone!

This update rounds off the new gameplay we added in last week's huge Derelict Expansion.

We tried to streamline the experience a bit more, making it easier to navigate by letting Falcon turn quicker and move a bit faster. Scanning now shows only the objects that can still be collected, as well as the goods crates, making it a lot more useful. The tutorial should be a bit more helpful, and will now also show up for late-game savegames.

Besides the Derelict work, we finally managed to fix the disappearing Derelicts bug. The bug was really tricky: Every once in a while all the derelicts would delete themselves from the world, never to be seen again. We finally found a way to fix it, by making a dynamic backup and checking if every derelict is where it's supposed to be each frame.

There's a couple smaller fixes and improvements, as in most updates. See the full list for the details:

  • Better Derelict movement, Falcon turns quicker
