Let us take the opportunity to say thanks for the very warm welcome we received here as we opened the doors, from the outset you came forward smiling with praise and bug reports which has allowed us to get on with filling in the cracks in the first playable.
From the blog:
"In addition we have all the stuff that was resolved thanks to community feedback! Actually we had a huddle round to discuss our opening week and we are so flattered by the reception we’ve received."
So a jumbo update for you folks on the face of it; delivering fixes and building on that scaffolding as we set things up for more maps, more abilities, basically more everything!
"The main change in this update which directly affects gameplay is the requirement to scan a piece of sector furniture to know its contents. Any ship in the game can use the ‘Deep Scan’ ability to advance the scanning of an asteroid cluster or gas cloud..."
A cool new mechanic meaning you'll have to think about your approach to those cozy looking asteroid clusters else you'll be in for a surprise! (Quite literally in fact.) Read up more on what UPDATE 4 brings, over on the blog.
