  • New alien races

  • Improvements to mission log system

  • Changes to early game/tutorial

  • Havok more powerful, also targets asteroids and debris

  • Changes to music tracks

  • Improvements to controller support

  • Players can now mod the stat modifiers from techs (See StarcomNexus_Data/StreamingAssets/Mods/readme.txt in your game install folder)

  • Various minor gameplay adjustments

  • Numerous bug fixes.

As always, if you encounter any bugs or have any questions or suggestions, submit them via F8, post in the discussion forum or join the game's Discord.
