PAST v1.0-pre3 Released: Full Freestar Support
With this version of PAST, the full Freestar quest line is tested and supported for all potential combat resolutions.
You can find the latest package in the PAST #releases-latest channel of the GreslinGames Discord, available to Citizen role users. (If you don't currently have Citizen, please read the #read-this-first channel for instructions.) I've also released it here as a convenience for my Patreon subscribers.
You can see the full changelog here.
Features of this version include:
Full Freestar Support. I am currently doing a full playthrough of Starfield, in order to test and quality check the game's many quest lines. This time around, I did the complete Freestar story, from the Akila bank robbery to the final confrontation with the mastermind behind The First. There were several NPC subgroups that weren't previously supported and now are.
Basic Starborn Support. PAST now includes experimental support for the encounter variety Starborn enemies. This will probably be a longer term project to get them right, but for now at least they should be better than their vanilla counterparts.
Improved Safe Uninstall. There were a few edge case situations that could confuse the safe shutdown feature - nothing critical, just inefficient. The system has been improved to resolve those situations.
Improved Ship Defense. The landing team recall code from -pre2 has been improved to accommodate more of the various landing situations that can trip it up.
Bug Fixes. More of the usual assortment of bug fixes and improvements, including a couple of features that didn't work right because they were still coded to Fallout 4's measurement system. At this point, however, the true problems are becoming harder and harder to find - PAST is now running remarkably stable in regular Starfield gameplay.
Next version will probably include a full support audit of the UC questline, as well as some inroads to the main quest. I imagine some Terrormorph AI work will also be involved.
Have fun,
