Happy Holidays Miners!
X-MAS has come to Hoxxes and we are bringing you a gift just in time for the Holidays! Furthermore, we’re happy to announce that it’s not a soft one! Actually, it’s loaded with HARD mods for Bosco, a Medibay, Revamped Weapon Models and a gazillion other cool features!
All the best wishes,
The Ghost Ship Team!
--- PATCH NOTES ---
BOSCO MODS
Do you need Bosco to be a Medi Drone or a Killing Machine? Now it is all up to you!
Similarly to weapons, Bosco has access to mods that can be bought and equipped. These mods will let you customize the drone using some of the existing parameters like for example number of revives or weapon damage, but we are also introducing a special secondary fire. Once the mod is active, the player can point with the Terrain Scanner and press or (LEFT TRIGGER) and Bosco will fire a rocket at the target.
MEDIBAY 1.0
When you and your teammates fail a mission, you will afterwards wake up in the Medibay. Fight Together, Fail Together!
REVAMPED WEAPON MODELS
All the old weapon have been getting a graphical overhaul and should be on par with the new ones. For those who think looks are more important than substance!
X-MAS IN SPACE
We couldn’t help our self and had to dress up the Space rig for the holidays. You can also buy a limited headgear and play Santa with your friends. Please don’t destroy the decoration!
MINERAL TRADE TERMINAL ASSIGNMENT

SAVEGAME RESTORE OPTION
You can now restore your savegame from the Options Menu. This is just extra safety measures in the unlikely event that you should lose your save data. Management refuses this has ever happened though!
