Hey Everyone,
Its Dev Blog time again, and today we are announcing a smaller patch to ESS Urados Dusk. We are aiming for a release this Friday (19th), so stay tuned for the update!
ESS 3.2 introduces a lot of important bug fixes, refinements to existing celestial bodies, two new moons for Tydos, and a desert launch location! We hope that this patch will pave the way for the 4.0 release, which should bring the first new planets for Enhanced Stock System.
Basic Changelog:
- Elara and Nebra, moons of Tydos
- SOI refinement for easier exploration of smaller bodies
- Gravity edits to reflect SOI adjustments
- Subdivision settings optimisation
- Nav sphere colours for all bodies
- Edits to launch locations and easter eggs
- Additional desert equatorial base, Ermo
The New Moons:
Nebra - Tydos' innermost moon which has been heated by orbital resonances. Surface temperatures are high enough for a liquid water ocean to form. Volcano tops are the only dry land to be found on this water-soaked moon. Nebra boasts a thick atmosphere with low-lying fog that obscures the surface.
Elara - The most distant moon of Tydos, Elara is also its smallest satellite. Heavily cratered and deformed through an enormous impact, this captured asteroid is in an eccentric and inclined orbit which will make it a challenging but worthwhile target for daring explorers. Inspired by Hyperion, moon of Saturn.
PS from Jastro: I want to say a massive thanks to Pedro for keeping me motivated and working on ESS, even though I almost gave up at several points over the last few months.
Are you planning to add some comets or asteroids in jun's orbit?
