Welcome Back Co-Pilot, We have received some intel from our deep space satellites regarding the eradication of multiple Cosmic Rifts in the Zeldari system, seem like the Cosmic Entities are holding off their attack efforts, or maybe losing? we are not sure yet. Here's some of the intel we received;

• Increased the Health and Damage spawned by Cosmic Echos in the Vivid Nightmare Rift

[h2]Rift Modififers[/h2]
In other news our Rift Scientists have been working hard to pull energy from the Rift Core using the Rift Modification device (RMD) and with some success we have been able to pull all different types of energy from from the deeps of the Rift core;

• Stable Modifiers now grant Health Regeneration equal to the Rift Energy it requires to choose it
  
• Unstable Modifiers grant Gold, Items and Artifacts based on the type of Modifier chosen
  

[h2]Enemies Of The Cosmos[/h2]
Our scanners have picked up some new and powerful entities lurking beyond the shadows

• New Enemy type "Overlord" will now start showing up after completing 25 or more Rift Events in one rift
  
• Larger and more powerful enemies will now show up sooner due to the increase use of the RMD

[h2]Augment Changes[/h2]
Augments have been a great contention for powering through rifts and progression in the game but some Augments have become over-preforming alot of other augments in the same tier, to this end we have adjusted multiple Augments to match their power levels per tier;

Nerfed Augments
[Black Market Augment] Infinite Storage Space

[Black Market Augment] Orbital Satellite

[R-ION's Level 20 Augment] External Storage Drive


Buffed Augments
[Level 20 Ava's Augment] Item Duplication Module

[Luna's Mastery Augment] Lunarius Blessing


Changed Augments
[Black Market Augment] Reaper >> Quantum Core

[Naomi's Mastery Augment] Death From The Grave >> Plasmacharger


[h2]Artifact Changes[/h2]
Some Artifacts have not that enjoyable to use, to the point in which picking them is a detriment to your overall progress. These are the Artifacts changed to better match the scaling fun you would expect from a rouge lite;


[h2]Advanced Artifact Descriptions[/h2]
Pressing "Left Alt" brings up the Enhanced upgrade that is achievable through the Enhancer perk or thoughout the mechanics in the rift, The UI for the Enhanced Artifact versions look like this;

Thank you for playing Cosmos and Il see you out there Co-Pilot! -Jacwab

Welcome back Co-Pilot, Our intergalactic scanners have detected a large and unstable rift in the furthest reaches of the cosmos radiating with some pretty powerful energy, think you can close this one before it gets to close to Orion?


- New and Improved LEVEL SELECTION menu with updated descriptions, XP modifiers and visuals for each Rift
- NEW and dangerous Cosmic rift called the Vivid Nightmare.
- Artifact choices can now be Rerolled with 10 Gold in the Inventory
- Augments and Artifacts have had their description updated to highlight words in colours to help players identify key actions (health=green)
- Optimised the Collection UI menu
- The Black Market now has a visual representation in the world and is shown with a ship orbiting the Orion Satellite

The vivid nightmare rift is filled with a powerful and dangerous electromagnetic storm
- Enemies hit with the power of the storm are empowered, granting them bonus maximum health, damage and size, they also become volatile causing them to explode on death.
- Shrines in the Vivid Nightmare give you control over the Storm for 60 seconds, Getting hit by a vivid lighting bolt empowers you instead
- Once a Cosmic Rift Event has been started the storm will amplify causing lighting to strike almost everywhere
- Cosmic Echos have a 33% chance of dropping a VIVID ARTIFACT, a very rare and very powerful artifact that is granted on pickup, these are some of the Vivid Artifacts you can find;
