removedFirst, regarding loadouts, we have removed the original “Device” equipment category. The previous Device lacked the differentiation necessary to meaningfully impact gameplay. In its place, we are introducing the “Active Device” category. While still in development, equipping these items will grant specific active abilities—such as short-range warp, active hull repair, or defensive countermeasures. Our goal is to move away from the current state of repetitive, static firefights.
addedSimultaneously, we have overhauled the meta-progression system, transitioning to a Tech Tree format. Beyond core attribute enhancements, this new system integrates the unlocking of upgrade modules and new Ability Device.
changedFinally, regarding upgrade modules, we are expanding options to support specific build archetypes—catering to diverse combat styles like long-range sniping or close-quarters brawling. This will remain a long-term focus for ongoing development.
