Endless Sky Patch Notes — May 31, 2025

Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.

This is an unstable release, introducing new content and features that may contain bugs.
Some notable additions and changes are:

Major revamp of Quarg outfits and many new ships.
A continuation of the Patir Mystery mission chain.
Two old ships and an old outfit rarely used by some human pirates.
Numerous new jobs, culture conversations, and some short mission chains.
The Coalition intros are easier to find.
Many large battles throughout the Free Worlds story now involve smaller fleets on both sides.
Different sources of cloaking now offer some different benefits and drawbacks.
Ammunition for installed weapons can now be restocked at any outfitter.

There have also been changes to the user interface:

There are now sounds when interacting with buttons or pressing some keys.
Gameplay can now be paused without opening the main menu, while still being able to select ships and issue orders.
The starfield in the background of the main menu is now animated.

And, lastly, new and changed game mechanics:

Missions can be offered when entering a system.
Missions can have an "offer precedence" property to control the order in which they appear when multiple are available at once.
Turret hardpoints can define "blindspots"; angles an installed weapon can't turn towards, and multipliers applied to installed turrets.
New swizzles can be defined in data files and offer more flexibility in the color combinations they can take.
