Ship Hangar (Captain Feature)

• Your shipyard has been expanded to support multiple hangars

• Switch between ship slots to edit or launch different vessels with ease

• For example: keep a dedicated exploration ship and a mining rig ready to go

• Makes it easier to jump back into your Spacecraft

• More enhancements are planned for future updates

Marketplace

• New in-game currency introduced: Credits

• Buy and sell resources and materials at the Marketplace, located inside the Flagship

• Play your preferred gamestyle—trade, craft, or fight—with more freedom and flexibility

• This is also the foundation for the upcoming Crafting Class, planned in the future

• More marketplace features are upcoming

New Server Technology

• Added dynamic server scaling to handle large numbers of concurrent players
