Hello Raiders, welcome to the totally tubular Surfpunk update #2! Today’s update is a little on the shorter side but it comes with some AWESOME NEWS! Read on for a super exciting announcement! But first, we wanted to talk a bit about THE BEASTSHIP! [h2]⚓THE BEASTSHIP⚓[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45111848/c6c5498ce99c90801ed38691fd3e3a1a2200d45c.png[/img] [i]Credit: Virtuos Montreal[/i] You’ve seen glimpses of the Beastship before but NOW, we wanna properly introduce you to this bodacious boat. And who better to give you the hot details than Eric Angelillo, the creative director of Surfpunk! [i]“The Beastship is the Raiders’ floating home base. It functions as the player hub between quests, and we conceived it to be an awesome hangout area for players. The ship will house NPCs and various stations for Raiders to interact with, craft gear, and change their loadout. We’ll have some other surprises as well! Aesthetically, the Beastship is meant to highlight the world of Surfpunk and its level of technology. It’s a patchwork vessel with a triple-hull and various mechanized features powered by Evress, the key energy source that players seek on their scavenging quests. Its bow is a massive beast-looking hangar bay door, which houses and launches Raiders on their Rushboards.”[/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45111848/5f5796e98cced463d05de5282c65535be77a2ec7.png[/img] [i]Credit: Erika Rhyno[/i] The Beatship is a BEAST of a SHIP right?
