[p]Having finally finished Sector 3 I took some time to reflect on some of the suggestions I'd received. I was forced to ignore them while prioritizing content but now a couple of them jumped out. The turnaround time on them is a reflection of how important I feel they were.[/p][p][/p]
Level Upgrades
[p]When playing the game it quickly became confusing trying to decide what to do with equipment you didn't want. Either you sell it for credits, use it to upgrade the level of another item of the same type or pull a modifier from it. I'm hoping this change will help address that.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42825867/2a8c3b148153e3557ad84d53e91bc10257168b0a.png"][TAG-10][/p][p]Items can now be upgraded for a cost in credits with no additional item requirements. This removes it from the decision-making process. Now when you get an item you don't want all you have to decide is whether you want it self for credits or keep a modifier from it.[/p][p][/p]
Schematics
[p]When playing your storage would quickly become a mess of items you were keeping for one modifier or another that you planned to use later. Then finding the modifier you wanted or even remembering why you kept an item to begin with was a bit of a nightmare. This is to try and solve that problem.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42825867/6b392f5ddcf37f5c850a03446fec26bd86312d58.png"][/p][p]You can now purchase blank schematics from the Mothership. These schematics can be given a custom color/name and each holds up to 6 modifiers of any type including duplicates. Schematics are free to transfer modifiers onto and are not destroyed when modifiers are taken from them.[/p][p]This should allow you to bring some order to the chaos and sort modifiers you're keeping in your storage. You can also find and purchase pre-loaded schematics on your travels or even gamble for them on the black market.[/p][p]Some additional bug fixes and improvements were also included, full details are below. Enjoy![/p][p][/p]
Patch Notes
[p][/p][p]New Features / Content[/p]

[p]Ship designer now only zooms with the mouse wheel when your cursor is over the main design area.[/p]
Flora Bosses (v0.4.0)
[p]That's the bosses finally done for Sector 3 and balanced. I say they're balanced but with the amount of meta gaming and build customization going on by the time players get to this Sector it's hard to say. Let me know if anything seems crazy hard or easy.[/p][p]This obviously comes with all the missions, achievements and story-line elements you'd expect making Sector 3 finally content complete and ready for launch.[/p][p][/p]
Early Access In July 2025!
[p]I'm now happy to say we'll be launching in to Early Access in July! The exact date will be announced near the start of the month.[/p][p]It looks like it'll launch with Sector 1, 2 and 3 for now. I don't want to rush Sector 4 as it'll be the conclusion to the main storyline and set the stage for the end game systems. I'd love to have the full story concluded for the launch but at the same time I want the ending to be awesome and that takes time as a solo-developer.[/p][p]Just to be clear about what you'll be getting. I expect there will still be around 20-30 hours of content depending how quickly you rush through it and you can hang out in Sector 3 and farm some things while you wait for Sector 4 to release or try some different builds / weapon combinations.[/p][p][/p]
Other Highlights
[p]Just to quickly run through some of the key changes besides the new content.[/p]
[p]Early game (level 1 to 10) now has a gradual increase of enemy damage to give players more time to master dodging and setting up their build.[/p]
[p]Enemy ships coming out of phase shift or hyperdrive jumping in now get a 1 second delay on weapon activations.[/p]
[p]Bosses can no longer be spammed with electric debuffs to stop them attacking as they get the same diminished returns players get.[/p]
[p]There are a few known bugs with this update that I found during my balance testing tonight so expect a hotfix in the next week, nothing major though. Have fun![/p][p][/p]

Version Regression (v0.3.9)
So, the version numbers were getting ahead of themselves. With Early Access fast approaching being at 0.9 made it look like a full release was a short time away but it's certainly not.
While the game will be fully playable at launch. There are still a ton of things I want to add, not least of which is mod support and maybe even multiplayer. So I've rolled the version back to 0.3.9.
When Sector 3 is done we'll hit 0.4.0 and from there, every big milestone will bump the version closer to 1.0.0. This changes nothing about my plans it just reflects them more clearly.
Fleet Improvements
You'll no longer find the Black Market in the Mothership, this didn't make a lot of sense anyway. It'll now be tagging along in a separate vessel as I'm sure Admiral Gideon would not approve.
The Assembler now also deploys an Identification Web when it arrives. Simply fly near this structure and it'll scan every item in your cargo. It's sadly far less chatty than Deckard Cain was though.
Everything else for this update is just quality of life and small fixes. More content coming in the next update!
Patch Notes
New Features / Content
Regressed version number to better reflect work remaining to be done.
Rescueing the Assembler now also adds an Identification Web to your fleet.
The Black Market is now located in a separate fleet vessel.
Balance Changes

Quality of Life / Accessibility
Tooltip for Boost Invulnerability and Impaled updated to reflect current mechanics.

Thruster sound effects no longer persist once thrusters are de-activated.
Fixed a bug where some sound effects were fading too quickly.
Fixed null reference in WorldController.OnOverlayActivated().
Items from non-active storage tabs can no longer be switched into slots.
Sector 3 Elites (v0.9.20)
Another content update on the road to Early Access.
Sector 3 Elites
The new Sector 3 elites have now landed. I did a quick run-through balancing them all so they should be challenging but not impossible now.
I wont include any details as I don't want to spoil too much but they should all present unique challenges.
Double Loot
The drop rate for different, rare and legendary items has been doubled across the board. The original drop rates didn't work as well now crafting has put a larger demand on items so enjoy the extra loot!
Grapple / Impale Changes
Projectiles that impale and grapples have been changed to penetrate shields. I wanted to get rid of the 'blocked by shield' mechanic to make internal shield builds more viable. They can now be removed by triggering boost immunity or using a displacement jump.
Many more balance changes, quality of life improvements and bug fixes below. I've tried to keep the later stuff a bit more vague to avoid any major spoilers. Next up will be the Flora bosses for Sector 3. Have fun!

Shrunk down the ship preview in the mothership panel so it fits more nicely.
Enemies using grapple guns will no longer get stuck on random objects.
Fixed bug where Xenosis and Necrosia had the wrong Species-XI elites.
Release Date: Q3 2025
I've made the decision to shift our release date back to Q3 2025. I know some of you are excited for the release and I appreciate your patience! My priority is to deliver a complete game as we enter Early Access that I can then build upon over the years to come.
Having said that the official release date will be announced at the start of July and I'm confident it will be sooner rather than later.
Thanks for your support!
New Factions (v0.9.19)
As I continue to work towards an Early Access release a lot of the content mentioned in this news will not be accessible in the demo (which ends at the end of Sector 1). Having said that, lots of testers and streamers have access to the full version now this is what's new!
Forgotten Faction
While the Phantoms have become bitter and isolationist in their old age there are some of them who take a more optimistic look at their race's future. Meet their genocidal / galactic dominating cousins, the Forgotten! These guys are now hanging out in Sector 3 and will not be happy to see you.
Secret Faction
There is a third completely new faction hiding away in Sector 3. You'll need to find these guys yourself as I don't want to spoil anything. They have unique ship parts, artwork and music and you wont see them hanging out on the main menu either!
Rescue Encounters
The problem child of my encounters, I'm still working to make these less frustrating. For now, they give double rewards like Elite encounters due to their increased difficulty. Some players may still wish to avoid them though.
Infected Seed
I still get questions about this item all the time from new players. As such, Species-XI will no longer show up in your playthrough until after you have found a waypoint. Hopefully this will alleviate some of the confusion when the mission says to use it on a waypoint as they'll have seen one.
Quality of Life / Bug Fixes
One streamer pointed out that it was annoying to have to re-click your weapon to continue firing after triggering boost immunity. I hadn't noticed but once highlighted it was hard to not notice it. This is now fixed, so it works the same as dodging.
Many more fixes and changes below. Next update will hopefully include the Sector 3 elites and bosses. Then I'll take a bit of time to balance it all before diving in to Sector 4 content!

Sector 3 (v0.9.18)
Well then, it's finally time to continue on the content treadmill. I took a slight detour after getting lots of feedback to make some much needed improvements but as release date approaches it's time to focus.
Sector 3
You can now explore Sector 3 in the full version of the game if you're a tester. It features a unique layout, new Flora ships and weapons, and brand-new music. However, some content is still in the works. elite abilities, bosses, the alternative Phantom faction and another undisclosed faction are not included yet. Some missions, achievements, and story elements are also still to come.
This is an early version of Sector 3 but you're welcome to check it out if you're itching to get to a higher level or check out some of the Flora weaponry and fleet.
New Weapons
The new Flora faction come with an additional 11 completely new weapons. While these are mostly acquired in Sector 3 all item drops have a small chance to roll from the global loot table. Meaning you can totally get these in the demo if you look hard enough. You're also likely to see them in the background of the main menu from time to time
Design Rules Change
Some players requested they be allowed to design ships without a central part so this requirement has been removed. The rule now is that you must have parts that intersect the two central lines, shown in green in the screenshot below.
This means the design above is now valid along with lots of other unique looking ships.
Old Sectors
Nothing much has changed with the generation of Sector 1 and 2 but behind the scenes it has. This means complete encounters in your old saves will have a broken layout. While you can continue to play these if you wish you can also hit Regenerate to get a new sector map.
There is a fix for an old Assembler bug in this update as well that should prevent some item duplication issues. Along with a slight increase to enemy speed in Sector 2 and many more changes listed below.
Warning: If you play on harder or custom difficulties 'Faster Movement' enemies just got wild, so let me know how that goes!

Fixed incorrectly named mission that is given before you travel to Sector 3.
Slot Rework and Fixes (v0.9.16)
A smaller update this time but there are some critical bug fixes and improvements I wanted to get out as soon as possible.
Slot Changes
Sometimes players make suggestions that seem completely absurd, then you think about them for a bit and you realise they have a point. One such suggestion recently was from Bellatrix in our Steam Community regarding slots.
The slot unlocking system was kind of pointless. A lot of people got confused by it, especially when they had to then add the slot to their design. This has all now been streamlined.
Slot resetting no longer exists so there is no cost. You simply get a specific number of weapon slots based on your level and you place them in your ship design as you wish. As a by-product of this, each upgrade tree now just gives you one generic slot and you can also get 4 x primary slots which was not possible before.
I did toy with the idea of removing slot types entirely and just making them weapon slots, but they all have very distinct behaviours and having types allows for better organization on your ship designs.
If you had a ship design with more slots than you were allowed you'll need to edit it to put the correct slots up to your limit when you load your save. You haven't actually lost any slots.
There are some critical bug fixes, balance changes and other minor improvements detailed below. I'm hoping to begin work on Sector 3 content next week!

Hotfix (v0.9.15-1)
I've gained a lot of new testers this past week, and with that comes a lot of new bugs. Here's another quick hotfix for some of the issues they've found.
Oh, and HAKIMODO, a streamer from Poland, has finished off our human-translations for Polish! They're still being worked on, so you might spot a few errors in the older translations.
Hope everyone is having fun, more updates are on their way!

Roadmap Updated
Below is our official roadmap. This will be kept up to date as best I can and represents my overall plan of major features for the game.
The two things at the top will hopefully be done before we launch in to Early Access. The rest will be worked on during Early Access in preparation for our 1.0 launch.
