Audio Improvements
Several AI-generated voice lines have been replaced or refined.
All dialogue for one of the main characters, Molyax, has been fully re-recorded by professional voice actors for improved immersion and consistency.
This expansion is designed to push battles beyond individual ships, introducing formation-based combat, mass coordination, and strategic drone warfare on a completely new scale.
Additional Notes & Current Limitations
At the moment, Swarm ships can use usable modules, but cannot perform pod-catching actions. We are exploring the addition of a dedicated Misc Swarm Drone class for this role. If this approach proves unsuitable, pod-catching capability may be enabled directly for Swarm ships in a future update.
