As we gear up for our first major update featuring the deployment of the third ship class, we are happy to release our third game update. Besides various bug fixes, we also tweaked many asset parameters and behaviours to make them more fun and better balanced. We also went a few steps further with the new principle established in Patch 0.4.2, where various events cost Hull for the Bio ship, while they apply a cap to the Energy ship's maximum energy for the next combat. We extended this mechanic to more cases, further differentiating the experience between the two ships. Finally, we added some new gameplay features, such as badges for completing combat with a perfect record and controller vibration, in order to make things more immersive and engaging. We hope you have fun with the new changes! Here is the full changelog for version 0.4.3:
