[h2]In-Game Update[/h2]

We at Lynx are happy to announce the latest iteration of our Everwork Program firmware. This firmware patch makes new spares 0.12% more resistant to excessive caffeine intake, which in our calculations will reduce caffeine related workspace incidents by at least 0.0009%*.

Additionally new accessibility options have been included on all Lynx proprietary helmet visors, which will lead to an estimated 0.092% increase in worker efficiency.

*To offset the incurred cost of the new firmware upgrade, Lynx is increasing the fee for Caffeine Capsules by a mere 256%, any additional company income relating to this price increase will be invested in further genetic R&D.

[h3]Changes & Updates[/h3]
A new colour vision deficiency option has been added to the video options menu, this allows anyone that has colour vision deficiency to set the game to their specific colour vision deficiency type so to make it more playable.

Friends and loved ones will agree, I have big “background character” energy. If I lived in the Star Wars universe, I wouldn’t be a Jedi or a Sith inquisitor. I wouldn’t even be one of those rebels who wear the long funny bike helmets. There would be no “Liam: A Star Wars Story” premiering on Disney+. Instead, I'd be the guy who changes the bedding at a grungy BnB on Tatooine. I would spend my days just sort of vibing on the fringes of all the excitement, blissfully unaware of the very important adventures occurring in a galaxy very-very-close-actually.

Maybe this is why Hardspace: Shipbreaker appeals to me so much. As a cutter, a nameless employee of the LYNX Corporation, you’re about as important to this particular vision of the future as the lad who polishes the floors on the Death Star. You are a nobody. But Shipbreaker relishes in how much that still makes you somebody.
