The latest update for Breachway, released on October 16, 2024, introduced significant changes and improvements. Here are the key highlights from Patch #11:
- Game Design Updates:
- Simplified Systems: The crew now determines card slots and equipment operation, providing more flexibility in ship setup. Equipment items automatically add their cards to your draw pile, regardless of crew operation.
- Fuel Scarcity: A limit on fuel purchases (3 units per store) has been introduced, enhancing resource management without increasing prices.
- Subsystem Relevance: Improved odds for obtaining relevant subsystems that match your current loadout.
- Technical Updates:
- Resolved several bugs related to the combat save system, although saving during combat has been temporarily disabled to improve stability.
- Performance improvements were made, addressing a memory leak and optimizing texture sizes.
- New Features:
- Players can now rename their ships, a feature suggested by the community, though it won’t affect gameplay at this time.
- Progress Reset: Due to the extent of changes made, current run progress will be reset, although meta-progress remains intact.
- Bug Fixes and Balance Changes: Various card mechanics and crew abilities were adjusted for better gameplay balance, and issues such as combat stability and tutorial expansions were addressed.
This update aims to create a more engaging and stable gameplay experience while addressing community feedback on gameplay mechanics and clarity. For a detailed breakdown, you can check the patch notes on the official Steam page
