The Avorion Combat Update Part I is now live!
Featuring specialized enemies, new weapons and most importantly: Torpedoes! Use these powerful one-shot weapons to obliterate your enemies, and equip Point Defense Turrets to protect yourself from torpedoes at the same time!
Turret Scaling
Turrets now scale depending on their class and tech level, increasing damage and range for larger turrets, but they'll also require more turret slots and more space on your ship! Also, beware the recoil!
Torpedoes
Equip torpedoes to obliterate your enemies with a single shot with these extremely strong, heat-seeking weapons!
Point Defense Weaponry
With the new Point Defense Chainguns and -Lasers, you also have means to fight off your enemies' torpedoes! These specialized weapons have a very high fire- and turning rate, at the expense of damage, but they'll catch those torpedoes!
Tons of More Stuff!

- Easy sector switching for improved commanding of ships
- Specialized Anti-Fighter Weaponry
- New Usable Items
