Alpha 6 'Loadout' available
There are 8 new base weapon types, each of which come in 3 weight classes so thats 24 distinct weapons in total, ranging from pulse lasers to stinger missiles. In addition, many of these weapon types have distinctive damage effects, such as the ability to overload shields, or cause specific thermal damage.

The combat-oriented ships of the hostile Union faction (i.e. the main enemy ships, at this early stage) have been completely updated both in appearance and stats, and all ships and other equipment rebalanced with respect to stats like armor class and weight. For example the high speed of more lightweight fighters is now properly reflected in the way such ships are able to take turns more frequently, based on their specific combination of engine power and hull weight.
Procedural generation of relics has been fleshed out to allow for a large variety of possible relics, which can in turn unlock 8 new research goals. Relic Missions are now generated alongside other mission types, so you can now become a true collector of these precious artefacts.
Together these changes open up a whole new game loop, as you can now seek to research and equip more powerful weapons by discovering Relics! While this aspect of the game is still in its early stages, it should provide a taste of the way the tactical missions and combat will be embedded in a larger strategy layer inspired by 4X games. Of course, theres also a load of bug fixes and smaller improvements based on prior feedback as well. The full list of changes can be viewed on the dev blog.

As outlined in the Roadmap the focus in Alpha 6 Loadout is on adding content in three main areas: weapons, ships and relics.
Weapons
There are 8 new base weapon types, each of which come in 3 weight classes so thats 24 distinct weapons in total, ranging from pulse lasers to stinger missiles. In addition, many of these weapon types have distinctive damage effects, such as the ability to overload shields, or cause specific thermal damage.

Ships
The combat-oriented ships of the hostile Union faction (i.e. the main enemy ships, at this early stage) have been completely updated both in appearance and stats, and all ships and other equipment rebalanced with respect to stats like armor class and weight. For example the high speed of more lightweight fighters is now properly reflected in the way such ships are able to take turns more frequently, based on their specific combination of engine power and hull weight.
Relics
Procedural generation of relics has been fleshed out to allow for a large variety of possible relics, which can in turn unlock 8 new research goals. Relic Missions are now generated alongside other mission types, so you can now become a true collector of these precious artefacts.
New game loop
Together these changes open up a whole new game loop, as you can now seek to research and equip more powerful weapons by discovering Relics! While this aspect of the game is still in its early stages, it should provide a taste of the way the tactical missions and combat will be embedded in a larger strategy layer inspired by 4X games.

Uncover a rich, branching narrative threaded with endless procedurally generated stories in a detailed setting inspired by hard sci-fi.Open World
Explore a vast procedurally generated solar system with handcrafted elements. Factions and NPCs pursue research, trade, construction projects, and other goals irrespective of your actions – though your actions affect their success or failure!It is the year 2612 and the galaxy lies in ruins. You are a member of Omega, the elite pilot wing of a community of survivors known as the Order.
Originally an elite military organization set up to protect posthumanity from high-impact, low-probability threats, the Order is a community of genetically engineered supersoldiers with a fierce sense of tradition.
After failing to prevent the devastation known as the Fall, their core aim is to recover lost knowledge and rebuild civilization. But recent events show an emergent new threat to their very existence...
The early Alpha version of the game contains a tutorial, followed by a limited selection of randomized mission types in the open-world solar system.
The full single-player campaign is not yet available. Ship and pilot development is limited to a few pieces of equipment and pilot skills.
There are only two main factions, whereas the full game will have four main factions as well as numerous minor factions.
