Today we're announcing SIX (whoa, six!) new Ship Bits! They're a group of new bulkhead types called POWER BULKHEADS! And they completely change how the game is played. Here they are:
Each one gives you a boost for unique special powers. So for example "Knockout" gives you the chance to stun your enemies when you damage them, and having more "Knockout" bulkheads on your ship will increase the chance for that to happen.
Power Bulkheads are carried by high-level enemies, so you'll want to be extra careful picking their ships apart so that you don't destroy them during the battle. Remember that green explosion at the end of this gif earlier in the week?
That lets you know that a Power Bulkhead got destroyed. You never want that. They're precious and in limited supply.
The game feels completely different now. You really want to carry as many Power Bulkheads as you can, to give you an extra edge in combat. You'll need space to keep them on your ship, which will probably tend to grow a little larger now. And you'll want to keep them protected with extra layers of bulkhead. Because these are special powers that you can actually lose if your Power Bulkheads get destroyed. It's a very Captain Forever Remix flavor of traditional ability/upgrade systems in other games, and it feels very unique. The old "upgrades" system is gone now, and this is the replacement. A great example of us getting to tweak the shape of the game while we're in Early Access, and make it more interesting.
The update is out on Monday! Only a few more surprises left in Ship Bits Mega Week!
