New Void enemies! New Items! New Bugs!

Hello all, I plan to update the game on Monday the 8th of March.

So what's in the update? The main change is that enemies are now designed to be beatable with skill or counter-play instead of relying more heavily on RNG.

We have added/changed few weapons that can be countered by the player:
* Artillery is a new weapon, and the blast area can be seen before it hits, so it can be avoided.
* Time bomb is a new weapon that can be destroyed before it explodes.
* Homing missiles can now be outmaneuvered if you are fast enough.

Some of the other items we are adding enable different type of play:
* Repair beam
* Energy draining drones (need a better name)

Other changes/fixes are:
* Cloaking now works with Vacuum Modulator
* Cloaking is now an upgrade to shields (via imbuing station)
* New graphics for starport and crafting stations

Full patch notes will be released with the update.

Thank you all for your support and your patience :)

Hello all,

Just a quick update, I am aware that the game is not balanced (terribly hard and not consistent)
The game is procedurally generated (enemies, sector types..) and a change I made to the generation changed a lot of unexpected things. I am actively working to fix it really soon.
In the next update I will address some issues that are caused by the procedural generation, enemies will no longer be procedurally generated.
I believe this update will make the progression smoother.


Thanks for all the support
