New Ascii Sector Released Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Chris Knudsen has released version 0.4.5 of the incredible Privateer: Ascii Sector. The game is available for Windows, OS X and Linux. There is a long list of fixes and improvements here, but some of the highlights are listed below. Ascii Sector is in the running for our Fan Project of the Year award.
  • Added five new systems.
  • Added seven new bases.
  • You can now use SHIFT + 'Q' to quit the game at any time and SHIFT + 'O' to access the options menu while playing.
  • Thrusters and Maneuvering Jets can no longer be completely destroyed (no more getting stranded with a crippled ship!).
  • Added indicator to show which of your ship's components is currently being repaired.
  • In the nav computer, if you select a system that's connected to your current system, the jump point leading to that system will automatically be selected as your destination.
  • Improved the control of AI fighters: When a single fighter is attacking a ship with a rear turret from behind, it will make evasive maneuvers to try to avoid the turret fire; and when a group of fighters from the same faction are attacking the same target, they won't block eachother as much anymore.
  • Added music for when in combat mode.
  • Added message and music to inform you when a mission has expired, failed or been completed.
  • You can no longer use afterburners if the generators are destroyed.
  • Added automatic sliding doors to seperate areas.
