This content update makes major changes to the equipment unlocks for Patrol and Conflict modes.

Equipment in all modes is now unlocked via our achievements, of which we have added quite a number!

We've also updated the dock mechanics in the Patrol mode to now grant the pilot two of four possible upgrades: Hull repair, Max Hull strength boost, temporary hull strength boost and a single use super. As part of this change we've added single use supers, based on the Conflict mode super abilities, that you can now use in Patrols.

This content update makes major changes to the equipment mechanics for Patrol mode.

We have decided that the Designer system originally implemented was not diverse enough in terms of build variety and choices. We have replaced this system with an equipment slot upgrade mechanics where each individual equipment slot can upgrade their slot abilites in addition to equiping an item into that slot. These upgrades are dropped randomly in addition to slot equipment.

This update has been focused on balancing and fleshing out the single player rogue-like Patrols mode.

We've added three new Patrol Targets that are the ultimate focus on each patrol. You will encounter the same boss multiple times throughout a single run as you advance in threat levels. With each fight they will get stronger until you finally defeat it at the High Threat level.

In addition we've made numerous balance tweaks to the weapons and added a new weapon: the Stinger rapid fire pulse cannon.

For now all Duels will be using our Luna Station biome while all Skirmishes will be happening over on Mars, but we'll be extending both biomes to all modes in the future in addition to crafting more biomes.

We're happy to announce another update today! You may notice that these have been coming pretty quickly, and we're really proud that we're showing off how you can see an Early Access title evolve. With these updates we keep the core gameplay mechanics we spent painstaking hours polishing and we've been focused on creating new content for players to engage with that gameplay.

This content update introduces another new set of ships! This brings AS+CEND up to nine different vessels which players can use to destroy each other. The new set of ships is based around the Tanker class of vessel frames, a slower, stronger frame with equipment sets designed to lock down an opponent and pound them into submission.
