BEYOND 0.3.0
Our developers are hard at work developing features for the following updates and are already making excellent progress.
DAILY CONTRACTS
Angeline is putting the finishing touches on the daily contracts feature, including an option that allows players to reroll one contract of their choice each day. Here’s a preview of it in action in-game:
PROBE GAMEPLAY
Mathieu has begun work on the probe gameplay rework. This feature will introduce different stats for each probe, such as point capacity, deployment speed, upload speed, and more.

Here are some design mockups illustrating the direction we are taking for the probe module interface:
