Star Traders and captains, another update has sailed into port. We've continued with the addition of new Contact types, increasing the variety of gear in  Salvage and added a new high level defensive ship component. We've also been working to keep with report bugs and fix typos.

Thanks for your support and thanks to those choosing to show your appreciation by "badging up" with the Supporter's Badge as we climb up toward venerable Update #400!

To celebrate that final march to Update #400, we're going to get on a binge of new outfits here - so stay tuned for that.

New Contact: Antiquities Hunter

Be sure you're ready when you consider working for the new Antiquities Hunter. This dangerous schemer will be sure to send you salvaging at dangerous sites across the galaxy, will sell you Rumors, offers Scavenger recruits and offers a pathway to the Black Market if their Traits align with it.

New Salvage Gear

Both the XK Cyclone Ammo and Tarbark Wireset come with nice Initiative bonuses (+1 and +2) as well as other Defensive Bonuses. The XK Cyclone Ammo presents a unique advantage to both ranged Accuracy as well as Defensive dice. Happy hunting, Salvagers!

New Ship Component

The top of the line Duranium Coating IV comes with best-in-class Armor and Shield and matches the other Duranium Coating's reduction of ship damage during orbital operations. In addition, the DC IV adds Void and Radiation Resistance and Craft Defense - so for a captain looking to combine the orbital operations capabilities with more combat oriented ship, the added cost of DC IV will be worth a look.

January has been a cold, slow one - so let's look forward to richer skies ahead!
