Update #249 clears some of the haze from the hyperwarp navigator's maps and gives easy visibility into the destinations of missions that contacts are offering, not only those that have already been accepted. For mission-runner focused captains, this is a big step forward in being able to effectively plot your galactic travels.

Filter and View Offered Missions

The mission list now features three new filter capabilities – story objectives, accepted missions and offered missions. First, this allows you to quickly isolate story objectives. But, second and most importantly this allows you to have visibility into missions that Contacts have offered you but that you have not yet accepted. The mission list is available to look at from the galactic map, the map of a single quadrant and a bevy of other screens as well. The most immediate use for the new feature is to pop open your galactic map, swap over to looking at pending missions and then click through them to see where they will take you. This visibility makes route plotting for a mission focused character a lot more possible without needing to remember quadrant names or mission arcs.

While you can't jump directly from the Contact mission offer screen yet, this is the first huge step. Let's go!

The hunt for the new v2 default map is coming to a close…

Speaking of the galactic map, we're getting ready to select a new default map based that takes advantage of the new map generation features we added back in November. If you have any last thoughts on what you'd like to see in the default, or map seeds you've found that feel awesome and well-balanced, post them in the forum thread ASAP.

Starport Repair Crash

A quick note that we fixed the crash in starport repair if you popped out the details window. Thanks to everyone for reporting it.

Sample Analysis

We've also fixed some issues with Sample Analysis, which is a rare Talent that relies on two Skills – Doctor to trigger and Explorer to determine how many Scientific Intel are created. We've clarified its description a bit as well to ensure its clear how zone Danger can impact the results, especially for lower level characters.
