We'll be sending out newsletters monthly at max, and when a big release or something truly newsworthy happens, such as a new version, patch or similar.
we're glad to see so much excitement about the upcoming Combat Update II! We've been getting a lot of questions and speculation about how exactly it's going to work so here's a little Q & A for you to make things clearer:
Q: Oh boy, all my ships look terrible, I usually use ships from the workshop and I'm really not that excited about building anyway, now I have to build my guns, too?
A: Don't worry, turrets still work the way you're used to. You still have to buy or loot turrets and you can simply install them on your ship just as you always have. The turret building mode will just give you the additional option to build a turret design to match your ship. You'll also be able to download turret designs from the workshop or get workshop ships with matching turrets.
Q: Is it only cosmetic or is damage, range etc. scalable with size/form of the turret?
A: It's mainly cosmetic - the idea is to let you build turrets that match your ships, not to rework the way weapons work completely. You have to equip a turret in your design for it to work. The same design can become a chain gun or lightning turret, depending on what you put inside. However, the size of your design does have an effect on the turret scale. If you build a size 1.5 turret, you can't equip a size 2 turret in it. Though you can use turrets that are smaller than 1.5.
Q: So how is looting going to work?
A: It will work exactly as it used to. Ships will still drop all the different kinds of turrets they do now. You collect them and either build them directly onto your ship or onto a turret base to activate one of your turret designs. You won't be able to loot other people's designs but you can download them from the workshop.
Q: Is there going to be a cap on the block count like there is with fighters?
A: Yes, due to performance reasons, a single turret can only contain a maximum of 250 blocks. The same is true for coaxial weapon designs.
Q: So how exactly is it going to work?
A: When you're in build mode, you'll be able to switch between ship building and weapon building and in the build mode for weapons, you'll have a choice between turrets and coaxial weapons. All weapons will be connected to the ship via a base and to enter the weapon's build mode, you have to select a base you want to modify on your ship. Once you leave the weapons build mode, you have to build a turret onto the base to activate your design. Inactive designs will not be visible when you're not in build mode.
A turret consists of three parts: the base, which is connected to the ship, the body, which is able to turn sideways, and the barrels, which can move up and down. Each part will have a bounding box. You need to stay inside the bounding box or your design becomes invalid.
Since the saved ships menu can get pretty crowded with all your ship and turret designs, autosaves and workshop subscriptions, we're adding a folder structure that lets you impose order and keep track of everything.
Most of the features we want for Combat Update II are ready. We still need to add a few things, do some play- and usability testing, maybe rework a couple of things if we find any problems, fix any major bugs that crop up, and then we'll be ready to start beta testing. So far things are going smoothly. If no major problems come up, you'll get to try it soon!
Hey everyone, while working on the Combat Update II, we've realized that we have a lot of changes in the pipeline that we could easily release before the second part of the Combat Update. Since we also want to aim for more but smaller updates, this seemed like the right thing to do.
There's also one very important feature in this update, that we wanted to roll out as soon as possible: Automated crash-report sending, which gives us a quick, anonymous info of a crash. No more bug reporting with first finding logs etc, all the important info is sent to us automatically. This will help us A LOT with improving game stability in the future.
After releasing the new feature that automatically reports crashes to us, we've found tons of issues and fixed as many as possible as fast as we could. In this update you'll see the results of this bug hunt.
And if you don't want to send the anonymous crash reports, then you can just disable that in the main menu.
Apart from that, you'll mostly find polishing and issues that you've raised over time, and now we've addressed them.

It's been a while since our last update so we thought it about time to let you know what we are currently working on!
Some of you have already seen the screenshot of the promised turret building mode on twitter. For all who missed it, here is another peek at it :)
While the update is coming along nicely, there is still some polishing left to do and we've been working on bugfixes for 0.17 as well, since we released our crash reporter on the beta branch.
Next we'll tackle coaxial weapons which you'll also be able to design yourself, using the turret building mode. Additionally, there are going to be a few changes to the ship building mode: Starting with the Combat Update II you can optionally pause the game when you're building in single player so you can focus on your designs without interruptions from pirate attacks.
Besides these features, you can also look forward to a rework of collision damage, that will make it feel more natural.
Hey everyone, after releasing the new feature that automatically reports crashes to us, we've found tons of issues and fixed as many as possible as fast as we could. Here you see the results of this bug hunt.
We'll be releasing more patches over the next few days, which will mostly be bugfixes. We probably won't post an entire news article every time we update the game to fix crashes. Instead, we're probably going to make a sticky in the forum, where we add all the bugs we fixed so far. Edit: Here's the sticky: https://steamcommunity.com/app/445220/discussions/0/3211505894140606500/
Beta Branch Note: These changes are currently available on the beta branch. The beta branch is for testing experimental changes and for finding and fixing errors.

The patch 0.16.7 has been performing well on the beta branch, so we've decided to set it live on the main branch. We'll be monitoring it closely, but so far we're confident that it'll do well.
In this patch we've fixed an issue with torpedoes that has been affecting several players: Tunneling. In some cases, it was possible that torpedoes were tunneling shots - that essentially means they were moving so fast that from one frame to another, they "skipped over" PDC shots, resulting in them not colliding with these shots. This behavior is now fixed and torpedos should get hit by PDCs correctly, no matter how fast they're going.
We've also added some tips to the loading screen on how to best defend your ship against torpedoes.
As a general tip: Don't fly around too crazily if you want your PDCs to hit torpedoes. While they have a high turning rate, they still have to aim, and lots of orientation changing through turning will make it harder for them to hit torpedoes - so try to avoid that. Flying around also causes torpedoes to start flying in curves, making them harder to hit for your PDCs.
General
Improved performance of threaded calculations
UI
Added loading screen tips for defending against torpedoes
Bugfixes
Improved tunneling of torpedoes when shooting at them
[UBR] Fixed an issue where enemy ships could spawn with empty shields
[UBR] Fixed several issues that led to bad performance
Edit: Before it gets lost in the comments: I'm working on a fix & default branch has been reverted to the previous 0.16.5 patch. In order to get it you should restart Steam. Truly sorry for the inconvenience!
Edit 2: After testing extensively on the beta branch, the new build for this patch seems to be very stable and we've now set it online.
We've heard your feedback after setting torpedoes live on the default branch, and one of the biggest complaints is that torpedoes can wrecks ships hard, especially the shield-penetrating ones. We're adding a few countermeasures for you in this patch, and we're also trying to create more trade-offs so that combat stays interesting in the end.
There's some explaining to do here. Torpedoes have a high potential to damage your ship's hull. When your blocks start breaking off, your ship's stats go down - crew dies, energy levels sink, etc. While this can be a great tactical move, it can also be very frustrating, especially early game, when your ship becomes unmaneuverable due to a lucky hit by the AI or your turrets get shot off immediately. This can lead to an unrecoverable downward spiral during combat, making fights unfun and frustrating as long as you don't have shields.
We've got a few changes in this patch to improve this behavior. First off, we're buffing integrity fields. Second, we're adding a system where blocks won't be immediately blown off, to ensure that you get a fighting chance while taking damage. In order to understand why we're doing what we're doing, here's some explanation on how damage in Avorion actually works.
Each block has its own HP, which is a threshold until it breaks, which is normally its HP that it contributes to the ship (with several exceptions, but we're not going into too much detail here. For example, inner blocks have a higher break threshold to make intricate ship designs combat-viable and to make designing more fun). Damage to blocks is ALSO directed to the normal HP of a ship (health bar). What integrity fields do, is reduce the damage that a block itself takes, so it takes longer to break, while damage to your durability stays the same. With this patch, we're doubling damage reduction to block HP through integrity fields, and blocks protected by integrity fields also only send 50% of the damage taken to the ship's HP, instead of 100%.
We're also adding another major change: Blocks on PLAYER owned ships (not NPCs!) that take damage start breaking only after a certain threshold of ship HP is reached, based on difficulty. For example, on "Normal" difficulty, this threshold is 40%, so your ship's blocks only start breaking after your ship has 40% or less health.
In total, this should make fighting without shields and taking hull damage a lot less punishing and combat more fun.
Gameplay
Implemented an upgrade that makes shields impenetrable
This upgrade redirects shield durability to make shields impenetrable, except for collision damage
This upgrade also increases the time that shields take to recharge after a hit by a lot
Balancing
Increased break-damage reduction for blocks from integrity fields from 90% to 95%
Blocks can now take double the damage before they break
Ship damage from integrity-protected blocks reduced by 50%
Shot hits to blocks protected by integrity fields will only cause 50% damage to your ship's durability
Blocks start to break on player & alliance ships only after the ship's durability has been lowered to a certain point
This threshold scales by difficulty:
Beginner: Threshold is 0%: Your blocks will never break.
Easy: Treshold is 20%: Your blocks will start to break once your ship hits 20% or less HP.
Normal: Treshold is 40%
Veteran: Treshold is 60%
Difficult: Treshold is 80%
Hard & Insane: Treshold is 100%: Blocks will start breaking immediately (pre-patch behavior)
Increased time that shields have to take to start recharging after the last hit from 10 seconds to 30 seconds
This was actually an oversight of ours and one of the reasons why shields are so strong. We upped recharge time to what we actually had in mind while designing shields to make it a little harder to continuously fight even with strong shields.
Bugfixes
[UBR] Fixed shield penetration not working
[UBR] Fixed several performance issues which might have led to players experiencing weapons not dealing damage
To all those who had this issue: Please try if this makes it work, if not, report back to us! We're taking this very seriously!
Featuring specialized enemies, new weapons and most importantly: Torpedoes! Use these powerful one-shot weapons to obliterate your enemies, and equip Point Defense Turrets to protect yourself from torpedoes at the same time!
Turret Scaling
Turrets now scale depending on their class and tech level, increasing damage and range for larger turrets, but they'll also require more turret slots and more space on your ship! Also, beware the recoil!
Torpedoes
Equip torpedoes to obliterate your enemies with a single shot with these extremely strong, heat-seeking weapons!
Point Defense Weaponry
With the new Point Defense Chainguns and -Lasers, you also have means to fight off your enemies' torpedoes! These specialized weapons have a very high fire- and turning rate, at the expense of damage, but they'll catch those torpedoes!
Tons of More Stuff!
There's also tons of other features that will be added in this update, including:
Easy sector switching for improved commanding of ships
