Cosmoteer Starship Architect and Commander

Full Patch NotesNew Gameplay Mechanic: Heat ManagementSome new weapons and part effects now apply \"heat\" to the hull of individual ship tiles.Heat spreads out between tiles and slowly decays over time.If a tile has enough heat, a fire can start.Parts that are very hot will take more damage from enemy weapons.Heat can also be stored within some parts transferred between parts, and radiated away using new heat management parts (see below).Crew can now \"repair\" parts with hull heat even if the part has taken no direct damage.New Gameplay Mechanic: OverclockMost existing weapons and functional ship systems now have an alternate \"overclock\" mode that enhances its power/functionality and twists is functionality, but produces waste heat as a byproduct. (See below for list of new overclock modes.)In Career games, overclock modes must be unlocked for individual weapons/parts by purchasing them from a station\'s blueprints tab.In Build & Battle games, overclock modes must be purchased separately from the base weapon/part and will not be offered until the base weapon/part has been purchased.Updated Gameplay Mechanic: FiresFires can now be started by heat in addition to being sparked by weapons and explosions.In most cases, fires will no longer completely destroy most ship parts. Instead, a part that is sufficiently burned will become \"scorched\" and unable to function until repaired. The exceptions are parts that contain explosive munitions such as cannon ammo.When a Fire Extinguisher puts out a fire, it will now leave anti-fire foam that will temporarily prevent any new fires from appearing where the foam is.New Part: Heat PipeInstantaneously transfers thermal energy between connected parts.Can be connected to most parts in specific locations which will be indicated by yellow connection points in the ship editor. (In most but not all cases these are the same locations where doors can be added.)All parts that are connected via pipes are part of the same \"heat pipe system\" and can share/transfer heat between themselves.Comes in three variants: Interior Pipes, Exterior (structure) Pipes, and Crew Crossing Pipes (which allow crew to walk underneath).New Part: RadiatorDissipates thermal energy from the connected heat pipe system.Dissipation effectiveness is reduced if the area in front of the radiator is blocked.New Part: Heat ExchangerAbsorbs heat from the hull, transferring it to the connected heat pipe system while generating some additional waste heat.New Part: Thermal BatterySafely contains large amounts of thermal energy, providing additional heat storage to the connected heat pipe system.

Update 0.20.27 Patch Notes Bugfix: In Domination mode, if a ship had more resources than storage designated for them, then the \"Restock Resources\" option could be used to get infinite money.Bugfix: Crash when double-clicking on a mission objective in the current star system while viewing the galaxy map.Bugfix: Weapons would continue to shoot at enemy crew even after their ship was defeated. (This was a bug with the previous patch.)Bugfix: Switching between ship editor modes (build/paint/resources/crew) would cause the view to zoom out. (This was a bug with the previous patch.)Bugfix: The text in the in-game chat text input box could become significantly offset when clicking on it.Bugfix: The text in popup text input dialogs was slightly offset.
