Features:

  • Prospecting asteroids only triggers a reaction if material name is in a list that can be configured via the UI.
  • Sampling exobiology with the genetic sampler will now have the distance tracked to taken samples and will inform you when you are far enough away to take the next scan, or are getting too close again.
  • Receive Text Reactions can now be muted for certain chats (local, system, squadron, NPC chatter) while the rest (wing, voicechat, friend, player) will stay active.
  • Suppressing unneeded status events
    • Awareness for active game mode (who cares about landing gears when you're disembarked)

  • Engage Supercruise now automatically retracts landing gear, cargo scoop and hardpoints

    • Material Trader and Tech Broker searches automatically plot a route since there is no good reason to even compare them
• More accurate action results for route plotting and for game event reactions for completed missions

COVAS NEXT v1.5

Features:

  Allows you to find clestial bodies and apply filters for:

  • Search distance (default is 50,000 LY)
  • Subtypes of celestial bodies
  • Subtypes of landmarks on bodies
• Projections (a technical term from Event Sourcing)
  Significant "under the hood" improvements: transition from a file-based history to a SQLite database, introduction of projections for improved long-term tracking and added unit tests. The most direct impact for you at the moment: COVAS:NEXT will now track missions.
• Updated default Event Trigger (sendText now off, FSDJump now on)

Please note:

• The new database introduces a brief delay of a few seconds during startup, which occurs every time you begin a new conversation.
