Database Update Patch
New patch/content update here!
New Feature: The Database.
Do you want to know more about Nathan, the other characters, the Hebos' ships and the enemies you've encountered? A new hangar deck is waiting for you with a collection of all the knowledge, enemy ships and wartechs you meet during the game.
This deck is going to be updated and expanded in the next patches: if you have requests or ideas about topics you'd like to have in the database, just write in the feedback section.
Technologies like Laser, Magnetic and Anti-Matter are now dependant from special projects.
Don't be scared thou, they're VERY easy to find and they require just one piece to be completed.
Of course, those who have already developed them will continue to have them unlocked.
There are also a number of fixes as suggested by you in the discussions forum. Thanks for your feedbacks!
Supernova Update: Rank Banner patch
Quick patch with the following contents:
- Fix for some players experiencing issues in the very first mission using the Hawk War Tech
- New GUI icons in the Upgrade deck
- RANK BANNERS: Now your hangar is adorned with banners showing your rank in the survival leaderboard (if any).
As usual, let us know if there are any issues with it.

Black Sails Patch 1
A new patch is available.
- Added the ability to dismantle unused war tech’s components, swords and shields to recover some raw materials.
[Note: This is a work-in-progress feature: the amount of raw materials generated by dismantling a component could change in future patches/releases. Useful, polite, feedbacks are, of course, welcome]
- New War Tech flight animations.
- The meaning of weapons damage and bonuses has been better described in the upgrade menus, tutorials and info pages.
- Fixed a wrong display of the energy pool value in the hangar resume.
- Fixed a wrong aiming priority when shooting at targets partially covered by other, not-killable, objects.
- Fixed some arms and legs components with corrupted or duplicated graphics
- Fixed some animations for the mission “Down To The Ground”
- Changed some Shield’s perk values to be more effective.
Survival Mode: some fixes to be "fair"
Because of a bug, popped up some versions ago, it was actually possible to run the Survival Mode in a difficulty other than Hard, as it was originally designed to be.
To be "fair" and allow every player that spent time trying to climb the highest positions of the leaderboard we:
1) fixed that bug: now every Surival Mode game runs in Hard, no matter what's your story mode setting.
2) Increased a lot the number of points: this will allow anyone who want to get back his/her deserved position in the leaderboard to play again and easily overcome those who've got a higher score just because of the wrong difficulty settings (eg. playing at "normal" or "easy").
For any question you might have, please ask in the comments below.
