Update 01.100
18 September 2015
Summary
This week’s update is a bit more special compared to the previous ones since it is the 100th update that we have released since launch! For this reason, we have prepared something more special for you :)
Enemy drones have been added to the game. The drones will appear in Survival worlds (both new and old) and they will spawn automatically from pirate stations. When a player ventures into the pirate territory, he will be attacked by the drones. The pirate stations have bounty hidden inside their containers that players can loot if they get over the drone attacks. We have also added modding support for everyone to create their own drones and pirate bases.
In addition, the autopilot has been improved. Auto-piloted ships can now evade asteroids and ships without crashing into them.
Features
- Drone enemies
- Autopilot improvements
- Pirate bases as encounters
- Most valuable cargo ships call for backup using their antennas if player trips wrong sensor
