You deserve to know the truth about Quadro Delta and Alexander Poysky.Feb 5, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsYou deserve to know the whats going on with Quadro Delta and Alexander Poysky. Hello, fans! I am Vitali Kirpu, the creator of Pixel Piracy and ex-CEO of the Quadro Delta, some of you probably know already, but the Quadro Delta went bankrupt, and nobody told you why. I am here to tell you why it went bankrupt and why it took over six months to tell you this. There are two reasons why Quadro Delta went bankrupt first of the reasons is that the sales of the Pixel Privateers were not what we expected. And the second reason involves a public figure Alexander Poysky selling generated CD-KEYs in secret. I will not go into the specifics here for the time being, and this is the main reason for the silence. My STEAM representative is however aware of the issue that happened. I also believe what happened to Quadro Delta partially caused STEAM to limit how many CD-KEYS can be generated. https://www.polygon.com/2017/8/18/16167462/valve-steam-keys-limiting-developers It seems that the person who Alexander Poysky worked with and probably still works with is now trying to spread the false rumors like this. ------------------ http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/11687896/d7b85cdd89a2d1f4257a822a3a1376ec634dabbd.png ------------------ I want to say that SquareZack in this instance is a catalyst for this announcement. I will be contacting Steam regarding SquareZacks false accusations. In retrospective when you will look at this post and cross-reference what I will say in the future regarding this matter you will understand what happened to Pixel Piracy and Quadro Delta in detail. If you want, you can ask Alex on Twitter what he thinks about this announcement. He will probably fight my statement, or he will block you. You, however, want to do it publicly. You as fans deserve to know at least something. Take care guys, and I see you later. Public Test Now Live, Includes Auto-combat and U5!Jun 15, 2017 - Community Announcementshttp://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/11687896/4095afd1a4d5b6932a88f0cfaba5b95e3e650123.jpg Greetings, Privateers! Today we’re bringing you a very long awaited piece of news: The ability to preview and test the widely-requested solution to automating combat a bit more than the manual-only approach at launch. What we are rolling out here allows the user to control whether or not to activate the “Stand Your Ground” feature. How does this work? Read on to find out! When in Stand Your Ground mode, you can command specific privateers to automatically attack anything within the immediate area of that squad member. Selecting another crew member lets you set a different area, allowing you to cover more than one area with automated defense. This feature brings in a way for you to direct your attention elsewhere while combat is ongoing - all while interacting with other crew members - without sacrificing player interaction and control of combat. In situations where you need tighter control, you can toggle Stand Your Ground off, and take full manual control of your crew. When active, the field you defend will be placed again each time you click to move your crew or attack. Using this method, we are able to prevent crew members from pulling aggro on chains of enemy groups before the player wishes to engage with them. We are initially introducing this feature onto the public test branch. This will allow us to gather feedback and ensure that it is working smoothly for everyone and address the issues the community has stressed/raised to us. We hope to see plenty of players opt in and engage with this beta in order to improve the game and take it in the direction you want to see. Along with the auto-attack feature, we have made significant performance increases with the change to Unity 5 and resultant changes throughout the game, and are excited to see how those changes function outside of our testing environment. This should make a very noticeable difference to those who were seeing crashes due to being out of memory, as well as slow-downs, lag, or stuttering due to low frame rate. The team is anxious to hear from those who were seeing these issues, and hope you will let us know if this resolves those problems for you. Once these features are tested with the community, we will be making any necessary changes and then rolling them out to the main branch. We will be reading feedback as it comes in, so please be sure to let us know your thoughts. We couldn’t have made Privateers the game it is today without our community, thanks for being part of our journey! To opt into the public beta: -Go to Pixel Privateers in your Steam library, and right click on the title. -Click on Properties -Select Betas -Select the Gamma Testing/Public Test branch -The game will update to the public test build -Start game and enjoy! Please note: Saves that are used while in the test build may not be compatible with the main branch any longer. ...Public Test Now Live, Includes Auto-combat and U5!Jun 15, 2017 - Community Announcementshttp://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/11687896/4095afd1a4d5b6932a88f0cfaba5b95e3e650123.jpg Greetings, Privateers!

Today we bring you the first of our content patches, which introduces, vanity gear, pets, and more. We’ve added more than 150 new vanity items for you to find and enjoy! Additionally, players in NG+ will now have the chance to find exclusive vanity gear and pets, to reward adventurous privateers for their hard work. From the community’s wish list, the patch also includes auto-disintegrate and UI scaling features, as well as the ability to sell multiple items on the markets. To keep the community in the loop, we’ve prototyped a potential solution for the much-wanted auto-attack feature, and will continue to work with that until we’re satisfied that it works and plays well in the game. We don’t have a current ETA for which patch that will come out with, but it is very much on the radar for the team, and is in progress. We are also working on porting the game to Unity 5, which will dramatically improve memory and performance issues in the game. Keep the feedback coming; we’re listening! Here are the notes for today’s patch: Changes and New Features: * 150+ vanity items added (hats, suits, and specials) which now have a chance to drop from hat-o-mats,events, champions, and bosses. * Pets! You can now have an adorable companion to follow you on your adventures! * NG+ Exclusive vanity items and pets, to reward those who dare venture there! * New vanity inventory which has infinite tabs. It can be accessed via vanity inventory button near the character paperdoll in crew screen. This same inventory is also found in replicator screen. * Vanity items have pink icons on their item tags and inventory icons to more distinguish them from rest of your gear. * New blueprints tab in replicator. Same blueprints are available for every crew you play. Each blueprint is unlocked when you find a new vanity item for the first time (if it's replicable). * 5 new random events. * Option to automatically disintegrate items on pickup (with quality threshold setting). * New option to use relative UI scaling (available in options menu) which should help with small combat UI on high resolution monitors. * You can now select multiple items to buy and sell in the market screen. * You can now buy and sell vanity items in market stations. * Added new "all" category for markets. * Buying items in the market no longer resets the view to the beginning of the list. * Credits rewards from cyborg terminal quests and Saving Lukas event reduced. Rewards are now consistent with other quest and mission rewards. * Warning message for cloning is now more clear on how codex points and unallocated training points transfer. * Pan-Temporal Skipgets now have 2s cooldown instead of no cooldown at all. * Low fuel warning now states, on hardcore mode, that it's not certain anyone (Kent) will come help you.

Though its title and appearance suggest cynical faux-retromancy, underneath that mercenary skin there’s plenty going on. … Patch v1.0.2 is now live!Mar 17, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, Privateers! Today we are moving the balance patch through to the main game, so that those waiting on the fixes it contains are able to continue their adventures. We have corrected a bug in the test version where players were seeing their crit damage values become nerfed beyond what was intended. We have fine tuned a number of other factors as well, to get the game feeling much better in terms of balance We will be continuing to listen and make changes to balance as we hear more feedback from the community over time. With this patch moved forward, we are working on more quality of life changes behind the scenes. Work is underway on the solutions to better inventory management, improvements to combat, UI scaling, and more. Memory issues and the latency and desynch issues in multiplayer are also on the list, and we will be working on optimizations which will hopefully ease these problems. Additionally, we are hard at work on the first content patch, which will bring some fun new features to the game. What’s coming, you ask? We won’t spoil it just yet, but stay tuned for news on it soon! Here are the notes for today’s patch, which include the changes from the public test as well as the adjustments to the test build: Changes: * Enforced the intended level cap of 100. Extra stat points gained by overleveling removed (stats gained from training codexes stay). Items will be scaled down to level 100 (modifier setup stays the same, values are scaled down). * Saves are now backed up locally in case the main save file is corrupted. Balance: * Dodge chance and damage mitigation both now have a hard cap of 85% (down from 95%). * Increased the overall damage output of enemies for higher difficulty settings slightly. * Damage mitigation from armor reduced considerably. * Damage enemies deal at the start of the game (lvl 1-4) reduced to reduce the impact of the reduced damage mitigation. * Item modifiers for specific damage sources and block chance scaled down. * Dodge modifiers and dodge bonuses from light armors scaled down. * Reduced hp of high stamina enemies (mostly elites) on higher levels (and difficulty settings). * Item drop chance modifier values scaled down. * Rocket launcher fire rate decreased from 1.5 to 0.33 and decreased min & max damage. Range reduced to 3.8 from 4.8. * Fire rate and reload time modifiers scaled down. * Increased explosion damage (to crew members) on low difficulty settings, decreased for higher difficulty settings. * Rescaled crit damage multiplier modifiers. * Characters now gain more HP from stamina on low stamina values. This effect increases the overall health pools of crew members - an attempt at making one shot deaths less likely. * Knockback effects from explosions weakened on high difficulty settings. * Haste field fire rate bonus decreased. * Intelligence modifiers now give you less intelligence to balance crit rating modifiers against int modifiers. * Crit rating gains from intelligence reduced. * Fire rate...Patch v1.0.2 is now live!Mar 17, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, Privateers!

We have been hard at work since launch, investigating and fixing bugs the community has found. This patch brings more of those fixes out, including our fix for the issue where the cursor would remain in a hover state and not allow the player to attack. We have also corrected the bug that was allowing players to exceed the intended level cap of 100, which was causing odd behaviors beyond that point. Characters that have exceeded the level cap will be scaled back within the level 100 limit. The first fixes for FPS issues also appear in this patch, and we hope those experiencing that issue will opt in and let us know if the changes were effective! Before rolling out this patch to the main game, however, we are opening our public test branch to allow everyone to opt in and check out the balance changes, and to weigh in with feedback. We want to hear what the community thinks, and to be able to adjust and tune the balance as needed. We have opened a brand new subforum on Steam where you can share your thoughts with us on the test branch build. Once we feel the game is where we want it to be, we’ll roll it onto the main branch. Please note, any save that you load while opted into the public test branch, will be affected by the changes present on the newer build. If you have saves you wish to remain unaltered for the main branch when you opt out, avoid loading those saves while in the test branch. To opt in: -Right click on the game in your library -Select Properties -Select Betas -Select the public test branch from the drop down menu -The game will then update to the public test build.

We have a couple of things to share with you today, which we think will be welcome news! First, we want to let you guys know that the next patch will be rolling next week, bringing out more of the bug fixes for issues the community has experienced. The fix for the cursor hover issue will be there, as will the first round of fixes for the FPS drop. Additionally, we’re introducing our first round of high level balance changes for the game overall, addressing feedback that many players are finding the game to be overly easy. Secondly, next week we will debut an opt-in beta branch to allow you to test and preview upcoming changes to the game. Balance is an on-going process, and because even a minor change can have a large impact, we want to allow the community to participate in testing how they feel. In this way, you are able to experience changes before the main game is updated, and can offer feedback and insight as to your experience. This will allow us to fine-tune any changes prior to a full public rollout. For those looking forward to new content, don’t worry, we’re already working on that as well! We look forward to getting this next update out to you guys, and to hearing plenty of feedback and suggestions.

First, we would like to say thank you to everyone who has picked up the game since launch, the response has been truly humbling! We’re incredibly happy to see how much everyone is enjoying Privateers so far! We have been listening to all the feedback and pouring over your bug reports, and today we bring you our first round of hotfixes that should help address some of the most commonly-reported issues. We’ve tackled the NaN matter issue in NG+, as well as the infinite matter exploit. We’re working on fixes for the the issue people encountered where the cursor would get stuck on friendly hover, leaving you unable to attack. That fix will be available in the next patch. Additionally, we’re beginning the process of scaling back loot, to make it less overwhelming, and in this patch the first change will be small in order to properly gauge impact on overall balance. Other fixes in the works will include improvements to help you spend less time in menus and inventory, and tackling the low FPS issue a number of users have encountered. We’d also like to let everyone know that we are hearing your feedback on issues such as auto-attack, and there are a lot of internal discussion going on as to potential ways to improve combat. This is a more involved topic with lots of implications, so we want to take our time to get any changes “just right”. Please keep your feedback coming, and remember, the game is still 15% off this weekend! If you have friends or family who are looking into the game, it’s a great time to pick it up! Here are the notes for today’s hotfixes: Changes: * Player list button is now visible in single player when multiplayer visibility is set to invite only. * You can now disable 3D UI from the options menu. * Added option to disable UI mouse panning. * Rebalanced Commander Sheen event to happen later and to give less overpowered rewards. * Reduced item drops from enemies by 10%. * Matter container replication cost now scales with matter gained by consuming it and replication success rate lowered considerably. Bug fixes: * The two techs which allow reallocation of training points after cloning now works correctly and no longer awards extra points. * Fixed teleporting to a planet not being possible if host was in ready state and changed to another screen in the UI. * Prevented matter changing into an invalid value (NaN). * Fixed an event generation bug which sometimes made planetary missions consisting of multiple rooms (environment scan, rescue prisoners) impossible to complete. * Item chest for the commander Sheen event can now be opened when returning to the planet while the mission is active. * Fixed item duplication exploit when dragging items from qdt to trade window. * Fixed tutorial becoming stuck if accidentally disintegrating the scout tool in tutorial before having to assign it to a charact...Pixel Privateers v1.0.1 is Live!Feb 24, 2017 - Community Announcementshttp://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/11687896/287f6f1f83368dfd943e8202bc1a8a01fd28014e.jpg Greetings, Privateers!

The wait is finally over! Today, we officially launch Pixel Privateers, and you can obtain a copy on Steam at $14.99!!! This landmark occasion marks the fulfillment of more than 2 years of development work by our small team at Quadro Delta, and we are incredibly excited and proud to bring the game to you in a full 1.0 release. Over the coming days and weeks, we will be eagerly listening to your feedback and suggestions in order to best prepare the game’s first patches/updates. Of course, fixing bugs will be our highest priority for the immediate future. While the launch is certainly a milestone, it is far from the end of development. Future patches will expand content and features, as well as the usual bug fixes - while incorporating user feedback and suggestions. We look forward to supporting Pixel Privateers for a long time to come! How can you give that feedback and/or report bugs? Glad you asked! Since the game is launching straight to 1.0, we want to encourage everyone to report any issues or bugs to us via our support ticket system, JIRA. Alternatively, you can report to us via the Steam forums or our official forums. If you prefer to try to catch us in real time, our community team is ready and willing to help on our Discord server. Please note that our volunteers cannot man the server 24 hours a day, but we will assist everyone as quickly as possible. Leaving a message on Discord and setting your notifications to alert you when a response arrives will allow our team to respond to your questions or concerns as quickly and completely as possible. We strongly recommend these methods over posting to us on Twitter or Facebook, as our social channels are not considered outlets for technical support - plus it is easy and far more efficient to be able to look in only a few places to find all of the bugs/feedback! We would like to thank everyone that supported us throughout the development process, and we look forward to joining community members in game! You can find us on our Discord server if you’d like to play with members of our staff. Happy launch day, Privateers, and we’ll see you in space!Pixel Privateers is HERE!!!Feb 21, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, Privateers! The wait is finally over!
