Greetings, fellow Cosmonauts, and welcome to our next update.

To spice up life on board, we've put some emphasis on crewmember improvements and reworked the passenger system, amongst other things. Let us introduce what's new…

Features and Improvements:

• Crewmembers get special perks, which influence their behavior positively and/or negatively
• Promoting crewmembers allows you to spend one skillpoint freely to improve their abilities
• Distinct states for crewmembers have been added, such as euphoria and strike, that affect their workflow
• Your crewmembers can progress up to experience level 10, instead of 5 levels
• The crew interface for the joboffice and N.O.D.E has been overhauled.
• The jobscout offers up to 5 applicants, fitting your job description more or less exactly.
• Passengers now also show their emotions through thought bubbles.
• Passengers will leave your ship if they don’t feel comfortable, due to dirt, broken stuff or hunger.
• Passengers got a couple of new clothing textures, depending on the mission they appear in.
• Pirates are now less aggressive and won’t attack you in close vicinity to planets.
• Pirates choose to attack you, depending on your current weapons, cargo and passengers.
• Space stations offer an increased amount of missions to choose from.
• Balanced economy elements enable more profit for trading players.

Note: Due to the changes in the passenger system, active passenger missions in your savegames will be discarded. Also the skill levels of your saved crewmembers might be different.

Bugfixes:

• Old savegames with stuck passengers can now be fixed by reloading them. If you should ever get passengers who do not disappear after finishing a mission, they will be removed after saving the game and reloading it.
• Passengers board your ship with randomized needs, so they won't go to the toilet at the same time altogether.

Enjoy this update and keep on supporting Cosmonautica by sharing your ideas, questions and concerns. Your feedback is of great value and we're looking forward to it.

Thank you!
