Sneak peek: The colony overhaul

Hello everyone!

A big part of the next update will focus on colonies, the biggest and most advanced kind of outposts that spawn in response to your actions in the world. We’re also adding personal wallets for all crew members at the same time. Read more below!

• Bigger colonies, better layouts and completely new textures. We’re making colonies look like real cities, visually and functionally different from regular outposts.
  
• Better services and multiple merchants. All the different specialized merchants will always spawn at every colony.
  
• No longer start new campaigns at a colony. This would make the early game too easy, with the increased accessibility of items and services at colonies.
  
• New outpost events, and interactable vending machines!
  

[h3]Personal wallets[/h3]

• Every crew member gets their own spending budget. This money can be used to buy all items and services at outposts.
  
• Hosts and admins can transfer money from the bank to crew wallets and set up salaries. Salaries divide mission rewards between players.
  
• All players can request money from the bank, give money to other players, and loot money from corpses.
  

We hope these changes will make Europan cities feel more lived-in and immersive. You can read more about the colony overhaul on our blog, and stay tuned for the release of the update in a couple of weeks!
