Are You Ready For Content Update #2?
A big update is going to drop in a month or so! You'll be able to purchase 2 new fighters, play in third-person view, and attach new equipment to your ship. Online DRM will also be removed.
New Ships
You've asked for new ships, and you've been heard! You will soon be able to fly two new sleek-looking fighters.
Third-Person View
This was another highly-requested feature. A lot of effort has gone into making sure that both your first-person and third-person flying experiences are as smooth and fun as possible.
Removal of Online DRM
I don't want to punish players for having Internet connection problems! In this latest update, I'll remove the requirement that you be online to play. (Thank you to the gaming community for bringing this important concern to my attention!)
Attachments
Attachments are upgradeable micro-equipment that you can add to your ship to give it an extra edge in combat. Upgrade six new attachments up to four times each to improve your locking range, EMP time, boost speed, or other stats.
...And More
Additional graphical effects and several feature enhancements have been added to improve your game play experience. Some bugs have also been squashed.
