This and previous week, I've been improving Sector Six loot. I have made many changes to random part generation system, made higher grade parts more common, added 22 part properties, gave parts more interesting names, but most importantly – I have implemented relic system and first 7 relics! Relics not only are the rarest and the most powerful items in the game - they also have unique effects, skins, and even animations! I would have made a video about relics, but I didn't have enough time for that, so instead scroll down for screenshots. With relics implemented, now I will work on the last story mission and several small changes. Relic facts:

• After rarity changes, relics are now rarest items in the game, their drop chance is 1 in 500.
• Relics can be sold for 2 relic fragments. 8 relic fragments turn into a relic.
• Relics give reliquary items instead of alloy when dismantled.
• Reliquary items re-roll and transform relics.
• Relics can have up to 7 properties, but cannot be amplified.
• Relics are always level 1 and have properties that are useful no matter what level you are.
• You cannot install more than 3 relics. Yet.
• You cannot install relic duplicates. E.g.: You can't have two Quasar Domes installed.
• 7 relics are implemented, I will implement at least 10 more before game launches
