Greetings Commander,
The first post-launch content update has been released: Release v1.0.1 - Profane Ecstasy
It features two new ships. The first one is Overseer C, a Blood Cult pleasure craft named Profane Ecstasy. Equipped with a Thrall Pit, Terminus Bands, and an Enslaved Fiend stalking its corridors, the Profane Ecstasy presents a terrifying foe for the enemies of Ariok. If you've ever wanted to throw exploding demonic flesh babies at your enemies, now's your chance.
The second new ship is Light Destroyer A, Ultima Ratio. A relatively new pattern of starship constructed by Imperial defectors, Ultima Ratio, forgoes boarding capability for massive ship-to-ship alpha strike potential. Outfitted with the rare logic engine known as Wrath of Angels, it ensures lance weapons achieve unerring target lock in all combat conditions.
In addition to these new ships, the Profane Ecstasy Update contains a host of balance changes and reworks to existing ships, weapons, items, and commanders. We're excited to see how you adapt with these newly revised tools.
This patch took a bit longer than usual due to the need to implement cross-version autosave compatibility, something that wasn't present during the Backer Alpha. We also used the extra time to address a wave of bugs and balance issues based on the excellent feedback from our community. Moving forward, we hope to resume our previous cadence of roughly 2 patches per month.
Ok, onto patch notes!
