As we're getting closer to the alpha release date, I thought I'd share a little bit of what we've been working on for the past month and which features are going to make it into the alpha build.
We're finalizing the last major mechanic to go into the game before we focus on feature content, balance and stability.
Drones
Drones are craftable and tradable items you can send on excursions across the galaxy, to gather rare resources.
There are two categories of drones: Leader drones and drone swarms.
(interface subject to change)
Every excursion requires a strong leader! As your droning skill increases, you'll be able to backup your leader drones with drone swarms, but be careful because drones in a swarm are fragile!
Both leaders and swarms are "enhanceable" items, so you can customize these to your hearts' content to fit your own build and playstyle.
This leaves the current features list like so:
- Trading
- Manufacturing
- Prestige
- Automation
- Missions
- Item enhancement
Current item list:
We'll follow up shortly with an official roadmap which will include things like guilds, raids, player-owned hubs, pets, expanded skill-trees and more.
