Greetings Commanders!
I'm glad to announce the Base Building DLC is now LIVE!
Build and manage your own stations, with a wide variety of bases and modules to grow your galactic empire.Available station models include:
· Standard stations that provide basic services like ship repair and trading with NPCs;
· Weapon turrets to provide defenses;
· Mining stations, to mine big asteroids;
· Production stations: factories, laboratories and "agristations";
· Power plants and Solar arrays that provide energy to nearby bases;
· Jumpgates;
· Beacons that provide light or set spawn positions on the sector;
Internal station modules
Each station comes with a few default modules like a generator or a basic defense setup, then a limited space for expansion, allowing deeper customization.
Station Capture
In addition to building your own base, you can now capture enemy stations (limited to hideouts for now).
New ship role: Engineer
Engineer ships have a built-in 'Builder module', which is required for base building. They also have bonus to repair beams, which are used in the actual building process.
New ship models
2 tier 3 yachts (size 2): the Beaver and Raccoon.
New special character
1 special character to unlock.
New perks / achievements
3 new Perks / Achievements to unlock.
New game mode: Station defense
A new "Tower Defense" inspired game mode where you start with an engineer ship equipped with a repair beam instead of a normal weapon, and basic materials in order to build your base right from the start. Battle enemies in waves and trade with NPCs to grow your empire!
