Update 0.7.5.4

Hello everyone,

Just a little update to keep you sharp :) Hope you had a nice Christmas and wishing you a happy 2026! We're looking forward to what we can add to Vanguard Galaxy in the new year.

Added/Changed

- Changed base side thrusters to be slightly louder (there is a thruster volume slider in audio options)

- Prologue mission Get To The Balam System gives a salvage laser to the player

- Prologue mission Damaged AI Core extraction time lowered

- Prologue Hermetis jump gate pass will be dropped by a pirate you need to eliminate at that gate

- Salvage skill tree unlock mission made easier to complete (more sources of scrap)

- Option added for ECHO to automatically sell cheapest item from materials when trying to deposit newly gathered materials

- Added "High Demand" skill to the Industrial skill tree, increasing sell value of crafted items by 10%

Balance

- Skill: Faster Production I increased bonus from 25% to 40% (at max stacks 5/5)

- Coremining improved damage (around 20%)

- Skill: Refining Mastery reduced "critical refine" chance from 25% to 10%

- Increased value of crafted items by 20%

Fixes

- Fixed stacks of usable items not showing a "control-click to split stack" tooltip hint

- Level of crafted equipment is now determined when crafting starts, to prevent duping items with Forge Overdrive skill

- Fixed drones sometimes deploying even after drones were recalled to the drone bay

- Fixed some grammatical errors

- Reload Subroutine and Critical Attenuation aspects only affect the specific weapon that they're attached to

- Ambient jump gate traffic spawns ships at the entrance of a "pocket system"

- Fix for railcannon missing shots

- Fixed some issues in item cost calculation (in relation to reputation discount)

- Reputation discount now also applies to items purchased for Commendations (Forge, Canisec, Orsanon)

If you find any annoying / interesting bugs or just want to give your opinion. Let us know on Discord or the Steam forums. Thank you all for enjoying Vanguard Galaxy.

Cheers,
