[b]Combat & Gameplay Enhancements[/b] We’ve also introduced a powerful combat feature: control a low-orbit satellite armed with a state-of-the-art cannon, your colony’s main defense against the relentless Sentinels – ancient remnant technology on Titan. These Sentinels aim to destroy all life and technology on the planet, making your colony vulnerable to their constant attacks. Additionally, we’ve added the Cam Projectile feature, which allows players to follow each shot from the satellite in real time, offering an up-close view of the action as it unfolds. A dynamic weather system has also been integrated, immersing you in Titan’s unpredictable environment, complete with dust storms, strong winds, and lightning strikes, adding more challenge and realism to survival.
