Hype Train
In the spirit of Update 29 has now been feature locked and sleigh-ted for the 11th of December. A nice, early Holiday gift.
All aboard the Hype Train! You will be getting exciting new features including:
- Proximity voice chat - Widely anticipated and widely requested, you can now parley before you shoot.
- Engine overheat - Long awaited stat is coming to life! We will be doing a full piece on this with Moster walking you through the design details, but this will drastically change the PVP ship meta.
- Painting ship parts - Pimp your Flight!
- Ciphers - Gone are the days of entirely depending on the mercy of RNG! Players can slot Ciphers into their schematics to raise certain stats at the cost of other stats
- New metals - More variety, and retweaked older metals.
- New recipes - More food means more BUFFS! Delicious.
- Stack Splitting... YAS.
