Fixes and features that will be seen in Beta 4

Post by Steve »

* Final plot stages playable and all communication text available in the game
* Many new communication features and communication bug fixes
* Background music does not restart from the beginning at annoying moments
* Full screen mode for combat
* Combat tweaks and corrections to item drops
* Cargo system completely redone with real cargo hold capacity correctly being shown and populated checked in multiple modules
* Life-form system completely redone with life form descriptions, new life form images, damage ratings, and placement
* Resolved all repeating sound effect bugs
* The doctor's skill now increases from use, and additionally the captain will replace the doctor when the doctor is dead. Injured crew members work less effectively than uninjured crew members, or at least they will when all of the skill checks are complete.
* The tactical officer's skill now increases when an alien ship is destroyed
* Alternate quest rewards instead of ship upgrades if the players ship is already fully upgraded
* Aliens get tired of talking to the player after a certain number of questions
* Aliens now attack if their attitude falls too low

12/4/09 Update: Beta 4 will be released whenever the communication system overhaul is done. This should probably be in the range of 1 to 2 weeks at most.
