I still strongly recommend turning back, or at least making a plan to find oxygen nearby, as soon as your tank hits 50%. The oxygen grace period kicks off at 0L, and bleeps every 15 seconds as it tells you how much time you have left. They only scan in the direction they're facing, and only at their fixed distance, so you might need to experiment with different placements to find what works best for you. Sensor modules are occasionally found on the wingtips of other craft, and can be mounted in any orientation.

The two standout features for this build are the new Sensor modules, which scan back and forth adding distant data to your sector map, and an oxygen grace period, adding 60 seconds extra flight time after your oxygen supply runs out.

I don't think anyone has found it yet, but you'll recognise it when you do :) They'll still get grumpy if you attack or bump into them however, so be careful out there!įinally, in the spirit of Halloween, I've added a little surprise. Now the spawn facing is more varied, and several types of ships might choose not to attack you, depending on their level. In previous builds all other ships would spawn facing directly at you, and most would be aggressive. The second big gameplay update in 15.4 is a change to initial NPC behaviours. India and Juliet are excellent for longer journeys. Delta and Echo modules are great for slinking through asteroid fields and past other ships. Alpha and Bravo map vis might not be so helpful as they have a very small radius. You'll see a minimap right there in the description, with a scan line rolling through it as it updates each row, ten rows per second. After finding a Map Vis module, attach it to your ship and click on it to open the module description display. So, this build, I've added a minimap - a very Captain Forever style of minimap. The last build added sensor modules, which are great for quickly uncovering the map, but you had to constantly open and close it to see what you'd discovered. Captain Forever Universe update 15.4 is live right now!
