Evolve your ship Captains careers, customize your ships using loot savaged from wreckages, become embroiled in action spanning huge playable areas and work across multiple planetary systems to bring order to Shallow Space.

An innovative ‘zone’ system lies at the heart of what we’ve dubbed the ‘Open-world Overhaul’ and through it NPC traffic will trade, mine and fight just as you do.

Pick-up missions to receive rewards in the form of ships modules and blueprints and construct defences, or go at it you own way by mining and trading. You’ll manage forces across multiple play areas all running realtime in a universe teaming with life.

Overhaul Update 6.1 Interactive Tutorial

[img=http://shallow.space/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Update6.1.jpg][/img]
As promised, we are pleased to announce Update 6.1 boasting a fully interactive tutorial!

By interactive we mean that it offers up a set of instructions and the tutorial continues once you have completed them. We figured it would be a better way to learn than an instructional video.

It's comprehensive and will take you through camera controls, group creation and fleet movement, inventory management and ship configuration and mission/objective management and basic combat drills. Expect the tutorial to grow as the game grows, with the impending station building and resource collection mechanics to be injected imminently.

We also have a few minor fixes from an incremental patch released a few days ago listed below.

Thanks for the continued bug reports, we're particularly interested in any weird behavior that may not necessarily manifest itself as a crash - don't be shy.

We are simply bursting with excitement right now and if you're not then you should be, with the UI refresh and the tutorial framework out the way - quick stop to update the game media and then it's time for one almighty meat injection!

As always we massively appreciate the supportive comments and if you've just joined us welcome, take a flick through some of the previous news and strap yourself in, because things are about to get REAL interesting round here.
