Available now in your Modding Space!

Modding Space is out! So you can now play anytime Finalizer's U-Series (version 1.7, more on this below), Starblast Racing or Battle Royale (which is now considered as a mod, making it permanent).


Finalizer reworked his mod for better balance. The USS-Vengeance was replaced by the (awesome) U-Fusion (which I would call BFG if someone asked me). The bug in Racing mod, which caused laps to be miscounted, is fixed (was a problem in the modding system itself). Battle Royale now has a warm up phase (since the last BR event) allowing to have some fun while waiting for more players to join. There are many more amazing mods already being worked on by the community and many of them should become available in the Modding Space soon. All this with a still limited set of modding features, you can expect much more for the future! This is just the beginning. Thanks a lot to all the modding community, mod creators and ship designers, and let the fun begin!

Starblast Modding Space opens tomorrow! Play the best mods created by the community. We will start with 3 mods, expect many more to be added in the coming weeks and months!
