About:
In Duskers you pilot drones into derelict spaceships to find the means to survive and piece together how the universe became a giant graveyard.
Explore
You are a drone operator, surrounded by old gritty tech that acts as your only eyes and ears to the outside world. What you hear comes through a remote microphone. What you see is how each drone sees the world. Motion sensors tell you something\'s out there, but not what. And when you issue commands, you do it through a command line interface.
Adapt
You have to earn everything in Duskers, scavenging drone upgrades, drones, and even ship upgrades. But dangerous creatures lurk in these derelict ships, and weapons are rare, so you may need to think of a clever way to explore a military outpost using only a motion sensor and a lure. But even if you find a way, the sensor that you rely on may break down, or you may run out of lures, even your drone\'s camera feed can start to fail. A favorite strategy can\'t be exploited for long, so you\'ll have to continually adapt.
Survive
Duskers is set in a procedurally generated Universe, and when you die you lose everything. You not only need to worry about what hazards lay waiting for you in the derelicts, but also running out of fuel, or parts to modify your drones and ship. You are alone, isolated in the dark reaches of space. Only by sifting through what ship logs remain un-corrupted can you piece together what happened.

Fix: Possible cause of players losing saves. After dying, the 'Restart' option (wrong name) was executing old code. Renamed to Reset and used the updated Reset code.
Added: Additional ship slot validation logic added based on a state a player's data had gotten into. We also try to apply it automatically to minimize needing to go to the main main menu to validate/repair.
Added: Hint when ship begins deteriorating that you can commandeer
Fix: Don't allow Drone to continue firing at an enemy in another room when the door is closed between them.
Remove: Message telling player they are out of fuel EXCEPT in weekly challenge. This had a couple issues where it triggered incorrectly - also was the cause of some hang errors after leaving ships
Fix: Don't allow players to dock to an airlock that isn't yet on the schematic.
Fix: When viewing another system, pressing 'T' was draining P-Fuel as if you had actually traveled.
Fix: Cases where patrol bots could shoot/move through closed doors
[spoiler]Fix: Swarms were sometimes visible when entering boarding ship while on SV[/spoiler]
Universal Linux build (separate 32 & 64 bit builds)
Added: FS/Windowed toggle to Linux (ALT+ENTER or SHIFT+ALT+ENTER)
Add: -alias-disablectrl command line option to disable the CTRL on the Alias window (interferes with Scandinavian keyboards, which use CTRL to access keys like '$')
Change: Allow mapping of arrow keys (in Unity Launcher)
Fix: Make sure 1st transportable room is clear of large debris and has at least one size that is 3 to make sure player isn't blocked from boarding an outpost.
Added Upgrade Wear & Ship Wear to strategy menu
Updated Semicolon tip text
Help text has been clarified for many commands
