Experiment time! This week we are releasing a few quality of life devices, as well as a new discovery system. We are introducing the star map, research and faction data cartridge that can be used to advance your standing, or generate some U-nits for you.
In addition we are introducing a much needed new device known as the small rift generator, and it is exactly as advertised. A smaller version of the large rift generator that can only use regular Xanthium. Meaning that it will only be useful for ships that have a mass lower than 100.000 kilograms. We have plans for a medium rift generator later down the line as well.
We’re also adding two new sizes of fuel tank, while reworking the other two fuel tanks. All hydrogen fuel tank now have a resource hopper that you will have to insert the fuel into.
Note that these are not all of the changes we are making for the upcoming patch, in the coming days we will be looking at your feedback and making changes based on that as well as adding more balancing tweaks.
