v2.2.1 — Bug Sweep

Bug sweep: ambush kills count toward missions, Made of Money progresses, Supply purchases show immediately, recalled beacons return, nav matches scans, real stats.

A bug sweep from captain field reports.

Combat & missions

  • Defeating an NPC that ambushed you — mid-move or mid-warp — now counts toward mission objectives and goal ladders (Scourge of Pirates, Terror of the Lanes). Previously only fights you initiated counted, even though the kill showed in your stats.
  • Made of Money now progresses: bank deposits were never counted toward the goal, for anyone.

Ship & inventory

  • Supply shop purchases (Sentry Drones, mines, turrets, buoys, cloak fields) appear on the Ship screen’s Ordnance card immediately.
  • Recalling your own nav beacon returns it to inventory, as the confirmation promised. Destroying someone else’s still grants nothing.

Navigation

  • The Nav tab lists every ship in your sector, including offline captains (shown dimmed, still targetable) — it now agrees with sector scans and StarNav counts.

Stats & leaderboards

  • The Settings player stats card shows real season numbers — K/D, missions, goals, bounties, trades — instead of zeros.
  • Planets claimed, distance traveled, and streak milestones are now tracked, count toward lifetime career totals, and the planets season award is winnable for the first time.
  • Overall leaderboard scores are labeled with XP and credits.

Counting starts from this release — earlier kills and deposits show in your stats but predate the counters.
