We interrupt your daily flight to bring you a new update. This update includes the addition of 9 new paintjobs for the Aerostrike, 1 free paintjob and a new set of 8 Rebel Ops Challenge paintjobs. It also added the Scout 2, the Stinger Mk2, and the Royal Knight to the Shipyard.

I kinda had to speedrun this update as I discovered a moderately significant bug that affected challenge completion tracking. The fix should retroactively award any skins that are missing

Here is a full list of patch notes:

Visuals:

• Modified idle animations, cutting down on sprites required by about 40%.
• Added idle animations to all Rebel Ops ships.

Shipyard:

• Added a new Free Paintjob: Aerocube.
• The first placeholder model of the Aerostrike.
• Added a new set of Rebel Ops Challenge paintjobs.
• They are based off the various unique ships encountered in this gamemode.
• Added a ship entry for the Scout 2, the Stinger Mk2, and the Royal Knight.
  • Alpha 1's Titan, Grey 4's Hunter, and Sandstorm 1's Destroyer are not unique ships, which is why they didn't get an entry.
  • They will see a log entry on the Story Menu on a later update.

Bugs:

• Fixed a bug where ships would regain their original speed after docking, forcefully shoving them around when undocking.
• Fixed the wrong HULL stats being displayed for Arrow-class ships in the shipyard. No changes to the in-game ship stats were made, they were just displayed wrong.
• Fixed a bug where the challenges completed data was not being loaded correctly.

Techical Changes:

• Improved the Aerostrike's skin selection code.

Hotfix 1.1.6:

• Adjusted an error in the skin reward system.

If anyone is met with any sort of weird bug, or simply thinks that a challenge is too difficult, feel free to leave a comment,  send an email to the support address, or contact me via twitter. Stay safe pilots!
