Crawlers Wanted: high pay, certain risk. Plausible deniability a must.

Build a crew of renegade adventurers on the fringes of space, taking jobs from megacorps to hunt bounties, sabotage rivals and conduct corporate espionage. If you can navigate the intricate politics of wealth and power, you might just survive long enough to spend your hard-won credits.

You’re a Crawler, and that means you work for those that can pay. Asset recovery, commercial espionage, and mayhem for hire are just a few of your crew’s specialized services. If something shady needs doing, chances are a Crawler will be involved. Succeed and you’ll be rewarded with better pay then any corp drone can dream of. Plus, you'll earn the respect of the eclectic assortment of merchants, opportunists and adventurers who make their home in the fringes of space.

Key Features:

Wage strategic battles against futuristic enemies with an innovative time unit turn-based combat system.
Procedurally-generated dungeons and events create endless replayability.
Choose your allies and your foes wisely. Your choices will change how the story unfolds.
Eight player classes each with unique abilities, both in combat and when exploring.
Randomly generated weapons, armor and gear with upgradeable enhancements.
Easy to Hardcore difficulty modes and optional permadeath.

Patch Notes for 1/8/2015 - Space Pirates!

Focus on: The Ships & Space Pirates

Happy New Year! Ship maps have been enhanced and improved based on feedback and suggestions. On Ship maps you’ll encounter new enemies, events, hazards, and a variety of ways to get your crew killed. Space Pirates have banded together to form The Scarlet Pact faction and have started appearing as mission targets.

Missions

Added new mission customizations to all types to include the new Pirate faction.
Pirate Captains can now be bounty hunt targets.
CorpSec Officers that are bounty hunt targets have picked up new tricks.
Missions that do not target another faction directly have had their rep reward reduced.
Mission difficulty now has a larger impact on the number and lethality of traps.

Combat

Added new Pirate enemy types to Ship, Corporate, Lab, Facility and Mine maps.
Added new unique Pirate combat loot drops.
Consumables (chems, medkits, etc) can now be used in combat with an improved interface.
Added additional sounds for Cyberninja and Force Psyker abilities.

Exploration

Enemies that are intelligent enough and authorized can now open doors to pursue you.
Ship maps now feature a unique event that allows skilled teams to access different systems of the ship to reveal objectives, enemies, disable traps, and more.
New event types added for Ships.
New hot loot items for Ships.

Changes

The Ability Point maximum now caps at 63. Characters with excess points can adjust theirs by visiting the Medbay and resetting your Ability Points.

Based on user feedback, when running missions with less than 3 crawlers, enemy numbers in combat are reduced. Does not affect boss fights or enemy strength. We’d like to hear your feedback on how this mechanic feels!

Easy and Cakewalk missions no longer spawn fewer encounters due to difficulty, but the individual strength of mobs in combat is still reduced.
