A sizable new patch for the space action, RPG and 4X strategy hybrid Starpoint Gemini Warlords is now available on Steam. It focuses on fixing bugs and polishing the game but also includes some balance tweaks, and a few quality of life improvements. Here's an overview of the new stuff:

With the end of the week coming, we bring you some fixes and some changes so you'll enjoy the weekend even more!

Most of the work in this patch was focused on bug fixes and polishing, but we've made some improvements too. We've changed the mining aspect of the game so it's more rewarding and fun to do. We've increased the base amount of Ore yielded when mining asteroids, the Miner perks give a considerably larger boost, and some asteroid fields, depending on the asteroid composition, will yield even Materials and Gas!

Secondly, we've also improved the Anomaly Scan and Distress Call Encounter Quests so they're more fun and rewarding. The new Encounter Quests are expanded upon so there's more incentive to finish them, and the resources and experience gain is scaled better so there's better incentive to take on quests even in late-game.

And the full changelog:

• Improved detection for integrated graphics cards it now more reliably switches to dedicated graphics card if you have the latest drivers.
• Added Target Lead indicator, on selected target now you can see the indicator to help aim those light weapons

SCAN ANOMALIES Encounter Quest

• while scanning multiple variants of anomalies you get greater rewards and additional reputation if mission is finished in territory that is NOT Concord owned

DISTRESS CALL

• quests can now be successfully completed every time
• quest now yields different rewards (TDrive & materials)

Rewards for mining Asteroids have been reworked:

• the base amount of resources gathered by mining asteroids is increased
• the amount of resources gathered by mining asteroids depends on the size of the asteroid
• depending on the asteroid type, you receive different amounts of resources (yes that means that you can get Gas and Materials while mining Asteroids, not just Ore)
• some asteroids give only Ore, while some give combination of resources
• the amount of resources you acquire from asteroids also depends on the rarity of that asteroid type (the more unique the asteroid in an asteroid field, the better reward)

Perks

• Mining I -> requires lvl 4, but now Increases the amount of resources gained by mining asteroids by 125% (not just Ore)
• Mining II -> requires lvl 10, but now Increases the amount of resources gained by mining asteroids by 300% (not just Ore)
