Heads up! v0.4.0 is due to be another transformative update, with another big component for the game dropping neatly into place. This new update will introduce vessel customisation to the game.
Going forwards, you will be able to swap out the three main components of your vessel - the body, the wheel, and the core. You can further customise your vessel by choosing the key colour, as you have been able to up to now. This customisation will be more than visual. Each component that you choose will affect a number of stats affecting your vessel's handling, enabling you to create a custom build for your play style. However, there will be tradeoffs involved. Need more air time? Sure, but you'll probably have to trade off some cornering ability. Need more boost capacity? Okay, but you're probably going to reduce your air time. You get the idea.
So when is this splendid stuff coming to the game? This is a bigger update than usual, so it won't be tomorrow, which would be the usual two weeks since the last update. Instead I'm aiming for mid next week, with a couple more days to polish things up to the level you would expect.
In the meantime, here's some early screenshots of some customised vessels. Enjoy!
