StarCrawlers Patch Notes 2/5 - Happy Lunar New Year!
In prep for features in the upcoming Factions update, we’re testing out the new systems with a small Lunar New Year event. When visiting the space station, look for Rassa the Hook, a special item vendor. Rassa and his crew have been hiding Lucky Envelopes in various places, grab an envelope and you’ll find a Lunar Coin which can be traded for various festive items.
Focus on: Lab Maps, Item Enhancements and More!
Lab maps have been enhanced and improved based on feedback and suggestions and we’re excited to show a new item type: Enhancements! We’ve heard your requests for more ways to customize and tweak gear beyond the upgrade system, so Enhancements can permanently alter a weapon, armor, shield or accessory once to change its stats or add new effects.
