Environment Update, Linux Steam Release

Jan 1, 2018

Advanced Mechanized Spacecraft

Build your own ship, explore huge procedural maps, destroy AI ships, and place what's left of them on yours! Shields, lasers, missiles, railguns, spinning saws, spikes and EMP launchers are just some of the ship components that you can get. Over 50 enemy ships and 7 bosses in this early access game!

The main focus of this update is new environmental aspects that make you feel more connected to the environment in the game; The two main environmental elements added are hazards that can either hurt you or can be used by you as traps for enemy ships, and a freight ship system, over 200 freight ships that fly back and forth between nearby stations, react to nearby enemies and battles, and as well can be communicated with and traded with. Besides the freight ships there have also been numerous optimizations, tweaks, and improvements across the game, and a Linux build! The Linux build has only been tested on the latest version of Ubuntu so far, however should be compatible with most newer graphical consumer focused 64-bit Linux distros. I would suggest you use vendor graphics drivers If possible on Linux.
