Hades' Star Development blog

 Today's bug fixing update contains the following changes:  • Fix for random Leap behavior in White Stars (note that the fix applies only to new White Stars. For the next few days, ships that had jumped to the White Star before the server update may still incorrectly be picked as valid leap targets) • Fix queued Artifacts not unloading back to certain higher level Red Star planets • Fix issue where some Corporations could not update description or other Corporation settings • Fixed wrong Motion Shield absorbed damage calculation. Note: The damage absorbed percentage shown in the info dialog for Motion shield will be temporarily incorrect. The actual percentage (as correctly applied by the game), will be 100 minus the displayed percentage. This is a display only issue and will be fixed on the next app update.

Today's update includes economy tweaks, bug fixes and improvements to support the game's increasing player sizes. GENESIS: Hydrogen amount generated in Yellow Star increased for levels 7-13 Server support for manually flagging recommended Corporations.  Regular Corporation members can no longer view the Corporation's scheduled future Time Machine commands, unless they are participating in the White Star. Senior members and above will still see their Corporation's scheduled moves as before.  Empire Power thresholds reduced for regular (non Dark) Red Stars levels 5 and above. Rocket Drone: Fixed unintentional unlimited launch range, now has similar launch range to other Drone modules. Joining an abandoned Red Star will now fail (this is a temporary workaround for missing Artifacts in some Red Stars) Fixed TEAM PLAYER achievement not increasing after White Star ends Fixed wrong research Credit rewards for RS3 and RS4 artifacts. Fixed Upgrade Shipyard objective getting stuc
