So then, here is the reward for all the moaning in the forums about the 3.0.3 out of sync issue - 3.0.4
The first thing you may notice, when you fire up a game is that we have removed the credits resource entirely... No! That doesn't mean you can roll out 20 Tavaras with 3.0.4, vessels are still limited, however there is no global limit (credits) anymore. You actually have more choices now how to build up your base and fleet.
If you hated the old Klingon turret model like we did the last few years, fear no more! A brand new model is included in 3.0.4.
A ton of fixes are also included to patch up the slightly flawed 3.0.3 version. As mentioned the heavy multiplayer out of sync issues, the broken graphics dialog, and some save game loading crashes along some smaller bugs.
We'd like to thank everyone who sent in a bug report or crashing savegame.
Patch 3.0.4 is compatible with all previous 3.0.x installations. You do NOT need to have previous patches installed before you install 3.0.4, you can Patch a blank 3.0 installation right away.
