Dear mizzurani friends, Welcome to our Training Day Update. IASA engineers have prepared a new holographic tutorial mode to help you get to grips with lander and ship piloting before embarking on your mission. Practice as much as you want on friendly, hostile and dangerous planet types, as well as getting hands on experience with mining and navigating solar systems. We’ve also added some new features to the Daedalus-7, including new readouts showing where you’ll accumulate damage, and a new damage system that makes it easier to predict when systems are likely to fail. On top of this, visited planets are now marked on your map to prevent pointless return visits. Also, galactic weapons are now colour-coded according to the kinds of damage they do, and glow according to their power. Stand and fight or flee? It’s now much easier to decide. Meanwhile, if you prefer to chat, Story Mode players will find aliens sticking around for longer before getting bored. And that’s not all! Check out the full changelog below. Your saves and option settings are not affected by the update. As ever, keep letting us know what you’d like to see. May your Journeys be eventful and your crews return home safe.
