So What’s New/Changed?

Dagger Changes

Welcome to Phase 1 of team-based play updates! We’re shifting the focus toward crew-based play and expanding your mobile base with new construction capabilities. To allow for this update we have had to reset the following:

• Dagger Vaults

• Character Data

• Dagger Tech Tree Progression

• Dagger Placeables

Here is what’s changing and present in this early version:

Dagger Membership & Social Play

The Dagger is no longer just a solo vessel; it’s now a home for your entire crew.

• Permanent Members: You can now invite party members to become Permanent Members of your Dagger.

• Persistent Access: Permanent members have individual access to the ship. When you hit Play, you will automatically load into the Dagger where you hold membership.

• One Ship Policy: To keep things simple, you can only hold membership in one Dagger at a time.

• Communal Vaults: The Dagger Vault is now shared. All players currently in the Dagger, including guests, interact with the same communal storage.

  • Note: If you are visiting another player's Dagger as a guest, you will access their vault, not your own.

Home Expansion

Need more room for your gear? A new expansion has been hitched to your Dagger.

• AddedNew SectionA custom build carriage has been added behind the main Carriage.

• The Airlock: Access the new carriage via the new manual Airlock.

  • Manual Control: Both doors must be opened individually.

  • Instant Access: There is no purge sequence; doors can be opened from either side at any time.

• Construction Limits: The new carriage supports up to 1,000 placeable objects. This limit includes:

  • Crafting Stations

  • Decorative items

  • Functional furniture

Layout Changes

• The vault has now changed location, check it out!

Blueprint Printing

• The Dagger now requires power in order to print blueprints

• You will need to add fuel items to your fuel core receiver to convert them to energy

Blueprints

• Most gear now requires a blueprint in order to craft it

• You can buy blueprints in shops, find them in loot, or research them from blueprint scraps

• You can safely store your blueprints in any base core you can access. Stored blueprints can be used from anywhere!

Refining and Fuel

• You can now craft your own Refiners and refine fuel items from Uranium in the safety of your own base - careful, they are expensive!

• You can farm Uranium from Resource Nodes

• You can also get Fuel shards from fighting the scrappers in the undercarriage

Bots

• We now have multiple different types with different behaviours

  • Scrappers, they are crazed probably from too much gas exposure! They have a chance to drop fuel items as well as blueprint scraps though.

  • Enforcers, found in markets, no funny business

  • Supply Drop Guards, dedicated to guarding precious cargo

  • Class Airlock Guards, you shall not pass

  • Conductor Guards, personal protection for the top dog

Economy

• Class tickets now cost 5 fuel items to craft or can be bought for a high price for credits – these are the only ways to acquire

• Added new searchable containers

Improvements & Additions

• Resource pick ups at dispensers have now been replaced with farmable nodes

• Riot shield has been added as a craftable item

• The Mini-Base is now craftable in player crafting

• Ladder improvements

• UI improvements
