Hello everyone,

Launch Teaser: https://youtu.be/MRbIM8VirbI

Version 1.2 is now available! We’re excited to introduce a new campaign: Depths of Umbra-K54, and a new ship: The URV-500 Submersible.

This campaign takes place in the sea under the icy surface of the rogue planet Umbra-K54. Your crew is tasked with investigating an unusual warp-field anomaly.

Important note: It is not recommended to rely on the AI PiBot for the new campaign, as the challenges found within would require a lot of specific behaviors. Because of that, we recommend planning accordingly!

• New Ship: The URV-500 Submersible
  
• 3 New Enemy types
