Gameplay

"A few AI adjustments (mostly fighters) and some minor goodies."

Added a buyable beacon that can be deployed with a customizable message
Ship AI is no longer limited by range of PDCs when they have other weapons they could use
Self-pulling into a dock via tractor beam now pulls slightly longer to avoid edge-cases where it's just barely not possible to dock
Improved fighter AI when returning to mothership
Player fighters without mothership (and thus without pilot) now fly in circles
NPC fighters without mothership (and thus without pilot) now explode
Dropped building knowledge is now reserved for 1h instead of 2min

Balancing

"We're adjusting fighters slightly again because this time we overdid it a little. Those changes should tone them down slightly from their current status as indestructible killing machines. We're also giving the different shield upgrades a more distinct use."

Increased resources necessary for production of fighters on ship slightly
Increased range of Anti-Fighter cannnons by 1km
Once all guaranteed dodges of a fighter are used, they get a 0.25s cooldown until the next random dodge can be done
Guaranteed dodges recharge over a period of 60s instead of 120s
Fighters now get (3 + 2 x [PilotLevel]) guaranteed dodges up from (3 + 1 x [PilotLevel])
Strong escort ships and escorting commodores now reduce base attack chance (which couldn't be reduced before)
Slightly reduced yields from mining & salvaging safe mode
The trader that is attacked by pirates no longer dies in 2 seconds

It's now 120s, except when you're helping them with the dying

Increased amount of shields provided by energy to shield converter subsystem
Shield boosters now give a flat bonus to shield instead of a percentage
Reduced maximum amount of goods available for Trade Command in early game
Reduced random spawn rate of bosses slightly, since people jump more often now
Reduced prices of torpedoes by 56%

UI

Indie Simulation Singleplayer Multiplayer Coop

Combat

Equip your ship with chainguns, lasers and other weaponry to take on your enemies and enjoy the sight of completely destructible ships breaking at the exact points where you hit them. Defend your allies from pirates, hunt down enemies for coin or even participate in wars between entire factions. Build hangars and command squads of fighters in your battles or destroy enemy freighters to steal their cargo.

Explore

Fly through beautiful nebulas and dense asteroid fields in search of hidden treasures and meet the many factions that populate and control their portion of the galaxy. Each faction has its own characteristics, such as peaceful, intelligent or aggressive, and has its own ship styles, meaning their ships and stations have a distinct look.

Explore the galaxy at your own pace to find valuable goods in old ship wreckages, undiscovered asteroid fields rich of resources, unchartered asteroids which you can claim for yourself, or clues as to what happened during the event a few hundred years back.

Build Your Fleet

There are no limits to ship size or complexity besides your resources. You're not bound to the standard voxel style and while building an awesome ship in Avorion you won't get lost in lots and lots of micro-management. You can focus on building a great looking ship, without having too much trouble to make it work. But make sure you still keep an eye on your ship’s maneuverability or energy requirements. Adjust your ships perfectly to their operational purpose by building light and agile or heavily armored ships.

Build specialized transport ships with lots of cargo space or heavily armored battleships with strong shields. Collect loot from defeated foes which you can use to upgrade your ship: New turrets, resources, trading goods or system upgrades. Install system upgrades that allow more weapons, ease asteroid mining or trading systems which detect trading routes over multiple sectors.

And why build only one ship? Hire captains to fly your ships for you, manage your crews, weapons, hangars and fighters and build your own fleet of space ships!

Trade

Extend your ship with a cargo bay, find profitable deals and haul over a hundred trading goods through the galaxy to make a profit and buy your way up the food chain: Build up a trading corporation and extend your influence in the galaxy by founding asteroid mines and factories that attract NPC traders who will buy and sell their goods at your establishments.

Co-op Multiplayer

You don't have to fight the galaxy alone! Avorion features co-op multiplayer, so team up with your friends to build stations together and destroy pirates and enemy factions! Work together to extend your influence in the galaxy and build your own empire. Or, you know, blow them apart in large PvP battles. It's a sandbox, you can do whatever you want.

In Avorion you choose your personal playstyle. Haul cargo, find profitable trading routes and found factories. Or maybe you're sick of being the good guy? Build your own battleship, equip it with powerful weaponry and blow away your enemies. Be the aggressor that starts wars with entire factions, raid freighters, smuggle illegal goods and scavenge old wreckages. Find your way to the center of a galaxy that gets more hostile, but also more rewarding the closer you get to its core.
