Dev Log: Combat and Customization Update is OUT!

Hello explorers!

We know we thank you all A LOT for your thoughts and feedback about Halcyon 6, but we mean it. We’ve been reading and listening and here’s what we heard: you dig Halcyon 6 but [insert thing here] could be soooo much cooler! After addressing your feedback on resource collection in v1.0.0.4 - Hello Satellite Drones! - our focus was on combat.

The Combat and Customization Update is here! Our main goals for this combat update:
- We wanted to address some of the player concerns regarding space combat, specifically the complaints about how repetitive and grindy it can get in the latter half of the game.
- Increase challenge and make combat more strategic and varied
- Reduce grind, reduce punishment for losses and mistakes
- Improve player agency, make player choices matter

To that end, we’re super stoked about the major changes you’ll see in v1.1.0.0:

  • Ship Customization!

    You can now customize Terran starships, completely changing their power load outs to create your own unique fleet compositions
  • New Officer Cloning Chamber!

    Clone your dead Officers and bring them back, almost as good as when they died, with the help of Crew “volunteers”
  • Colony Facility Rebuilding!

    You can now rebuild ruined colony facilities from the View Sector screen
