Pirates are now equipped with a tractor beam, which they will use to grab scrap generated from destroyed items. Think this makes sense, giving a purpose to the pirates attacking your space station. Will be looking to add further pirate behaviour such as attempting to dock to steal resources. Patch notes:-

• Improve: Pirates now looking to make off with any scrap.
• Improve: Pirates now more likely to retreat when damaged on easier setting.
• Improve: Optimise internal floor lookup.
• Fix: Pirate laser sfx not stopping, on restart game.
• Fix: Game over check, test for human workers as well as droids.
• Fix: MoveSpotOccupied multiple workers could all move from same spot, add delay.
• Fix: Clicking build menu walls/floors/solar panels/connectors, showed initial large selection.

Deep Space Outpost is a sci-fi base builder with resource gathering and base management. Create your space station, mine asteroids for resources and make your mission a success.

Features:-

• Build your own space station tile by tile. Start with a small startup craft and expand to achieve your mission.
  
• Current game modes:- sandbox, several scenarios and station builder.
  
• Gather resources by mining asteroids or capturing passing meteoroids/scrap. Refine into building materials, water, fuel and oxygen.

• Build defense turrets to protect your station from space threats such as pirates and meteoroids.
  
• Trade resources by bartering with passing trader ships.
