[h2]Cyber Knights is getting lots of updates too![/h2]
If you haven’t checked it out in a bit, our new game Cyber Knights: Flashpoint is evolving fast in Early Access. In February we added the all new Scourge class to the game, unleashing the power of th chem-hive to poison, distract or trick the enemy security forces. And now, at the start of the Spring Sale we just dropped the MAGNITUDE update which simply blows up the variety in proc-gen missions for the game with a total of 10 new mission objective and mission map combos. Come check it out!

All support for Cyber Knights ultimately results in a brighter future for Star Traders, so hope you’ll check it out and spread the word!

[h2]+3 New Large Fuel Tanks[/h2]
By popular demand, we've added in the final 3 Large Fuel Tanks with levels 5 to 8. At the top end, this can grant a whopping 450 Fuel. If you're in a larger ship and want to install a few of these, you can now guzzle over 1000 Water-Fuel at the starports quite easily. Watch your price-per-unit now, as that can get expensive fast!


[h2]Better Salvage Artifact Distribution[/h2]
We've smoothed out some bumps and issues within the artifact loot tables for Salvage, including both weapons, armor and gear. This should help prevent certain types of results from being repeated too often and increase the chances to draw high-end salvage artifacts if the gear card has a high score.

[h2]Tally Those Prize Ships![/h2]
If you are gaining new ships through your Prize Ship Talents, the now count toward your ships owend score in your captain's overall score. This path to ownership had been missed in the stats, so thanks to the captains who pointed it out for a quick fix.

We've also fixed a bug that could result in $0 prize ships and another reported issue with prize ships ending up at indie zones which generally isn't right.


[h2]Randomize On![/h2]
We had some reports that randomizing your crew from within the roster could lead to crashes. We clicked enough times to make it happen too :D and then fixed it! Now you can randomize to your hearts content. We're looking at adding new elements to the randomization so that you can get a hat or eyewear swapping too. The feature is oddly so fun, it deserves more.
