We're happy to announce another update today! You may notice that these have been coming pretty quickly, and we're really proud that we're showing off how you can see an Early Access title evolve. With these updates we keep the core gameplay mechanics we spent painstaking hours polishing and we've been focused on creating new content for players to engage with that gameplay.
This content update introduces another new set of ships! This brings AS+CEND up to nine different vessels which players can use to destroy each other. The new set of ships is based around the Tanker class of vessel frames, a slower, stronger frame with equipment sets designed to lock down an opponent and pound them into submission.
New Content
New ShipsThis content update features a new set of ships that have been adapted from a civilian transport vessel and has been designated the OC1-TSL Combat Adapted Tanker Vessel. Like all new vessel sets, these ships all feature a new Super and a new Dash to mix things up during combat.
New EquipmentThe new Tanker vessels bring with them fresh new gear for players to bring destruction to the battlefield. We've added the following modules for use with these new frames:
- Firestorm EBA - An high powered energy beam array that delivers lethal energy damage in a quick, short ranged burst. Beware of it's long recharge time!
- Arclight RWS - A debilitating railed weapon that disrupts the thruster systems of any vessel it strikes effectively making the victim slower.
- SentryDet DRF - An explosive drone designed to watch a specific zone. these will strike at any vessel entering an exclusion zone around the ship.
Fixes and Updates
In addition to working on new content we've also been polishing up other aspects of the game and removing the inevitable bugs. See our latest update notes for a complete list of changes.
