Early Access Roadmap - the general plan

Early Access updates

• Persistent progression - As you play, you will unlock perks you can add to your ship on starting a new run, giving you some much-needed assistance in tackling all the challenges you'll face.
  
• Escalation levels - On completing the demo, you will unlock Escalation levels that add more and more challenges to your run.
  
• The Lancer - You've seen it in the hangar a few times, and now you can unlock it by defeating the first system boss on Escalation level 5.
  
• Longer runs - We've increased the number of nodes you can visit before facing the first boss, giving you more options to upgrade your ship and find better gear.
  
• Boss rebalancing - The boss should now be easier to beat, reflecting his status as a first system boss.
  
• Cheaper equipment and repairs - allowing you to experiment more with different equipment builds and reactor power without being punished too harshly for taking damage in combat. (this is just the first system after all :) )
  
• Card balance changes and additions - We've done a significant amount of balance changes to cards and cost and added some new cards since the last build.
  
• Reworked the waypoint node system - You can now discover new events on the map as you travel, potentially changing your route through the system.
  
• Drafting changes - We've made some changes to the way drafting works; you will now only draft once every 2 fights against regular enemies, but you have 2 options to pick from per piece of equipment. We're still playing around with various setups for drafting cards.
  
• More crewmembers and events for you to discover. Each crewmember will have their own event eventually, but for now there’s a generic placeholder event when you come across them.
  
• A LOT of bug fixes (we lost count , but somewhere around a couple hundred), this should result in a smoother play experience.
  

The Firebrand

We've also added a new ship, the Firebrand. Check it out in the screenshots below:


Say hello to the Firebrand. It starts with Radiators cause it's packing some HEAT.

• Multiple equipment classes: pulse lasers, beam weapons, heavy blasters, missiles, flak, railguns, hacking, point defense cannons, shields, engineering bays, and resource bays. Customization is key, with dozens of modules and subsystems available to tailor your ship.
  
• Explore and utilize space stations for repairs, stores, and events. Build your strategy with a vast collection of cards, and navigate the complex politics of four fully fleshed-out factions, each with their events and allegiances.
  
• The fuel system will challenge you to navigate difficult-to-reach areas while events and missions add depth to your adventure.
  
• Manage your crew, each with their combat abilities, specialization, and the power to influence events, creating a rich tapestry of gameplay experiences.
