Airmen 1.21.8: Outpost Upgrades 2

This week's update adds a unique new outpost upgrade: the defense turret. The turret will target any ship with a bounty including other AI ships. The new EvE functionality has also been expanded to cargo ships. Aggressive AI on the archipelago will assault passing cargo ships leaving the rewards to the nearest opportunist.

Join us on Discord for public playtests Friday at 12pm ET, Saturday at 3pm ET, and Monday at 7pm ET.
