Cosmos Update 2.2.6 - Enemies Of The Rift
Cosmic Rift Modifiers
Welcome Back Co-Pilot, We are happy to inform you that R&D have been working on a brand new Rift Infusion Cannon that allows us to directly modify the Cosmic Rift and siphon the power. Management want you drain these Cosmic Rifts of all their Energy and return alive this time.
Here's what we know so far:
- Cosmic Rifts can be modified by flying to the event horizon and selecting a Modifer for the Rift Infusion Cannon to focus on, Then stand back and watch collect the energy (Any kill anything that tries to stop you)
- Rift Modifiers get more powerful the more you choose the same modifier, but at a cost of consuming more Rift Energy
- There are over 120 different Rift Modifiers to find so expect some Chaos!
Changes to Base Gameplay
- Ensouled Co-Pilots have been replaced with "Enemies" which come in 10 different types, the harder and more powerful enemies can be found as more Rift Energy is consumed
- All Cosmic Echos have custom Rotation movement that goes from their previous rotation to the new rotation preventing the weird and hanky snapping that was seen before
- Majority of Cosmic Echos have had their arsenal updated and summon enemies as part of their ability set
- The intergalactic Merchant has stocked some new wares in the shop and with the new addition of GOLD as drops from enemies and the ability to Summon the Intergalactic Merchant via the Rift Modifier screen you can be guaranteed to be able to buy Items or Repair your starship at least once
- Multiple Artifacts and all Boons and Curses have had their Images updated to better match the effect
- Updated the Compendium with all the new Information, Please check out the new changes if you are unsure on specific mechanics
- All Cosmic Echo stats are now tracked, and on completion of a Cosmic Rift (Or Death) you can see how well you did for each fight
Other Changes/Upgrades
- Updated the visuals of the Cosmic Rift, Rift Border, Rift Opening and Rift closing particle animations
- Updated the Main Menu environment to use better lighting and added animations for entering/exiting the starship hanger
- Enabled Anti-Aliasing to prevent the hard edges made by all Voxel meshes
- Updated the Crosshair and Cursor customisation to show what the changes look like to the Cursor/Crosshair that is not currently being used
- The Railgun now no longer has a critical hit zone you have to watch but charges 25% faster and deals 10% more damage
- Weapon shots are now 100% Accurate by default
- Multiple Starships have been re-designed like our "Starfinder" Starship awarded to those who are willing to pay the price for this Foxy looking ship!
