Greetings Commander,
The latest update has been released: Release v1.5.0b - Indoctrination
This update brings us Indoctrination, an expansion of the Shrines feature which we released in the early days of Void War during the Backer Alpha. Accessed from the Loadout menu, Indoctrination allows you to convert existing crew members into new units from your pledged faction. It gives you a much more direct way to shape your roster around a chosen allegiance and build a crew that feels truly devoted to it.
Six new encounters have been added as well, and tie in to Shrines. Visiting a shrine whilst already pledged to it now leads to a unique event for each different shrine.
This patch also includes minor crew adjustments and bugfixes to several longstanding gameplay and UI issues.
