Backer Alpha Patch #8 - Oblivion


Greetings Commander, 

Patch #8 is now available for download: Alpha v0.0.8

The Oblivion Cruiser has arrived. Dragged from the depths of subspace and warped beyond recognition, these monstrous vessels employ a variety of infernal tools to bring ruin upon their foes..

In other news, we have a major UI update for you today: rearrangeable crew portraits.

Note there are still a few issues present in the current implementation. We will get those fixed for the next patch. Despite the issues, we wanted to release it as soon as possible because the core functionality is complete. It gets the job done, and we thought you would appreciate having it a little earlier.

Hey there,
I got two questions about the game / community.
First: Could you create a new discord invitation? The old one doesn't seem to work anymore.

Second: A small issue. If you draw a square to select several crewmembers the red square can be barely seen. Could you make the lines a bit thicker? So if you draw them while a lot is going on you can see them better.

1. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We'll fix it. In the meantime, here's a working Discord link:  https://discord.gg/4rV32dzxKr

2. We'll look into it. Thanks for the feedback.

It appears that I downloaded the patch correctly, because I can see the new ship available, but I can’t seem to figure out how to rearrange my crew portraits, which is something I was as excited for as the new ship! Click and drag doesn’t work, nor while holding shift or control. I suppose I didn’t replay the tutorial, if the answer is hidden in there, but maybe somebody else has figured it out?

Trying letting your cursor linger on a portrait as you are holding down the left mouse button. Note the commander portrait cannot be rearranged.
