Heya space travelers!
It's 1.4 and here we are with new features – like the much sought-after loot magnet, ship loadouts, new ships and weapons, as well as a lot of improvements. Check it out and don't forget to let us know what you think. A lot of work is also going into the upcoming main story expansion right now, so be prepared for a huge update this year! We're already curious how you will like it.
Loot Magnet
…makes looting more attractive! Keep your eyes open for the
Loot Recovery Field and
Salvor Attractor devices! We decided to make them passive – so equip one of them, lean back and enjoy your delivery!
New Ships
Extraterrestrial sightings – crafted by human hands. The Companionship brings you even two versions of this gear-driven flying saucer: A devastating war machine and a hyperspeed shuttle. For the believers, the Seraphim have summoned holy spirits into a new Patrolship: The Saraph.
- Tarelka / War Tarelka (CoC Shuttle / Light Cruiser)
- Saraph (Seraphim Patrolship)
Ship Loadouts
Easily separate the fighting and mining equipment.
New Drone Weapons
- Sinbuster (Seraphim weapon with heat damage)

After this GIF was created, the accuracy of both weapons was greatly optimized – you can be sure that these are the best drones in town!Portraits
