Hello Pilots!
Age of the Free Agents is progressing in a Spectacular Way, and recently reached Feature Complete. After having quite a few people playtest whats new in this game in a more vivid (and more importantly, more performant universe), it is time to adress the changes and the upcoming Launch of the Game.
We have got a story!
Age of the Free Agents will get free Episodic Content with a fully voice acted storyline. Most of "Episode Zero: Return of The Crimson" is already recorded and on its way to be implemented. Follow your own path or help your faction uncovering the mystery behind a new signal source from beyond the gate network.
More stuff to do!
With the still raging faction conflct, you will be able to influence Ownership of the sector until you leave that system. An actual Live counter will show the distribution of forces in the Systems Clashing Fates and Irreversible Thought, and BRIAN, your Ship AI will inform you of new roaming hostile forces. Taking claim of a system might allow you to... upgrade your ship and get certain perks.
Upgrades to die for!
With the Market out of the Question and New Ships tied to your Faction Rank, you're probably asking yourself: But Dex, how can I progress? This is an Easy Solution: Upgrades! You can find them hidden away in containers, as Faction Reward or even from shady figures along the campaign. This might include more Shields and Armor, Faster Repair Times, better Scanning or countless other things.
Get out there and Explore.
