Greetings everyone, As promised, updates will be more frequent in the following weeks, so the start of a new week is a good time to get things moving. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34565492/16cd329d8d1bd9f96bad0f6cd713b8dfef31facb.jpg[/img] This update targets several game areas where many community members suggested some improvements. New ways to earn credits and other rewards is being introduced - visit caverns on space asteroids, explore them and gather loot. If you get tired of all this hard work, some asteroids will also have lakes where you can relax and fish some nice space fish. They can also be exchanged for a handsome sum of credits later. A little note to everyone here - space caves will respawn loot after awhile, so you can gather it more than once!

Along with new game elements, work on tweaking and improving previous ones is also continuing, this time with some campaign missions modifications that affect balancing and difficulty, updates to the encounter system and ironing out several bugs that prevented successful completion of a few encounter quests. Lastly, some optimization elements are finally ready and we start with character optimizations that will improve framerate during cutscenes.
