This update introduces two new major features to help airmen survive the Archipelago. You can now outfit your ship with healing stations placeable like the existing tool boards. After a 3 second activation channel you recover up to 50 hitpoints.



Drone targeting has been added to the options for crew orders. Drone targeting will automatically happen when no ship is in range. Similar to other targeting options, when no drones are present engines targeting will be used. The reload command has been moved to the left side of the crew orders menu to make space.

Join us on Discord for public playtests Friday at 12pm ET, Saturday at 3pm ET, and Monday at 7pm ET.
