Driftbound 1.2.10 - quality-of-life, straight from the sub A big batch of player-requested polish from r/Driftbound (thanks u/Toodle122) - all optional, all offline-safe - plus a stability fix. FIXED • Fixed a rare crash: if the call-sign sheet asked the relay whether a name was free and the answer came back AFTER you'd closed the sheet, the game could quit. Most likely on a first run, on a slower connection. The late reply is now simply ignored. • Ship slot names no longer clip. "Overdrive Capacitor" and the like read cleanly instead of getting shaved at both ends. • Cargo grouping sticks. Your grouped / sorted hold view is remembered across restarts. • Live recipe counts. The "have N" numbers under each craft update as you gather and spend, instead of only when you reopen the panel. • Outfit set bonuses are visible at last. The Wardrobe now spells out the active set's bonus (e.g. "+5% trade margin, +10% scan speed"), and when you're a few pieces in, what finishing the set would grant. NEW • Lock & Trash your cargo. Lock an item and "Sell all" will never touch it - bulk-sell the junk, keep your keepers. Mark others as Trash and clear them all in one tap with "Dump trash". • Auto-dump while mining. Switch it on in Settings › Cargo to jettison low-rarity finds the moment you gather them, so your hold stops clogging with commons. Mining only - never your crafted goods, and never a Locked item. • Your abilities, listed. Each skill now has a "▸ Abilities" view showing what you've unlocked and the level it unlocked at - so you can check whether you can already mine a given ore without warping out to try. It never spoils anything you haven't discovered yet, and the list survives a re-enlistment. • Quick-stack to the Vault. One button tops up only the items you already keep in storage, leaving fresh loot in the hold. • Real per-unit prices. Bulk buying or selling now shows the true effective price per unit - a big order rides the market, so it drifts from the sticker price. • Auto-stop shows its progress. A capped gather or craft now reads "+195 Titanium Plate of 250" in the status bar, so a limited run never looks like your pilot just went idle. Your save carries over untouched - every new toggle simply starts switched off. Keep the feedback coming - it shapes what we build next.

Driftbound 1.2.6 - the hunt is on! Loads of new depth, all from your feedback on r/Driftbound. NEW this update: • Random pirate raids while mining dangerous belts - the deeper you mine, and the more you've favoured Mining over Combat, the likelier you're jumped. Safe high-sec belts stay quiet. Run or fight. • Helios now hunts wanted pilots across systems: a hunter closes fast in high-sec, barely at all out in the fringe. Run for the deep, jump to shake the trail, or stand and fight (a win cuts your bounty). If they catch you while you're away, you always deal with it on resume - never a surprise loss. • New cross-system bounty hunts from Mara Stone - follow a trail of clues system to system to a fugitive's hideout for a showdown. • The online layer comes clean: the handful of NPC pilots that keep the spaceways lively are now clearly tagged ◇ Resident everywhere - so any untagged pilot you meet is a real person. The big weekly boards (XP, Trade) are real pilots only, the standings show how many real pilots flew this week, and leaderboard rows are tappable to wave at or spar the humans on them. • Fixed: the weekly leaderboard no longer resets every few seconds while an action is running, and a queue of waves and challenges from while you were away now arrives as one tidy digest. Also new since your last update: • Operations are grouped by skill - each job type shows its skill, its level and a live XP bar, so it's clear which work trains what. • Prestige now UNLOCKS content, not just stats - Admiralty ship liveries, a dress uniform, harder opt-in tour modifiers, and requisitioning top-tier mk5 gear at any shipyard. • Faction rivalries and a persistent allegiance - help one power and you lose standing with its rival, so pick a side; pledge an allegiance that carries across re-enlistments. Keep the feedback coming - it shapes what we build next.

Driftbound 1.2.2 — search and rescue! A pilot took a courier job beyond the Milky Way and found the gate home wanted more warp than the gate out. Not on our watch. • Fixed a one-way warp-gate trap that could strand you outside the Milky Way - inter-galaxy gates now cost the same warp coming back as going out • Courier boards will only ever post jobs you can return from • The deep universe now shows its true warp requirement at the door, before you cross • NEW: Emergency Recall in Settings - stuck anywhere, ever? A Helios tug tows you home to Helios Station. Contraband is impounded on the hook, and the tug needs six hours between tows Fly safe. And if you can't - we'll come get you.

The Pilot's Life update - the biggest Driftbound update yet. Something new for every day you fly. DAILY OPS • Three fresh tasks every day, right on your Log - mine, hunt, trade, train. • Clear the whole board to bank an OVERCLOCK: your next Welcome Back haul pays DOUBLE. • A proper 7-day streak calendar, with a perk point waiting on day 7. IDLE TIME ALWAYS PAYS • A full cargo hold no longer stops your ship earning while you're away - passing merchants buy the overflow on the spot (a real market still pays far better). WEEKLY STANDINGS • New leaderboards for bounty, trade, XP and friendly spars - a fresh board every week, bragging rights only. • Add friends by swapping pilot IDs and race your own crew. FOR VETERANS • Commission Modifiers: re-enlist under harder rules - tougher foes, slower XP, thinner margins, a tighter hold - and bank MORE Renown when the tour ends. Stack as many as you dare. • Collections hub: every catalogue, outfit, paint, lore entry and trophy on one meter, with one-time rewards at 25/50/75/100%. YOUR SHIP, YOUR LOOK • The Paint Bay: ten buyable hull schemes, from Crimson Corsair to the stardust-cured Abyssal Black. Pure style - no stats. SPACE PETS • Benched companions can now go foraging: a real-time expedition that brings back their favourite food. They keep trekking while the game is closed. A JUICIER FIRST HOUR • A one-time First Fit-Out deal, a guaranteed find on your first victory, and a proper celebration for your first sale. KNOW BEFORE YOU FLY • Nebulas now show exactly what you can harvest there - same as asteroid belts - with what's still locked behind your Gas Harvesting level. Plus plenty of polish throughout. Thanks for flying with us - your feedback shapes what comes next.
