Greetings Cutters!

We are back this week with a new update introducing our Salvage Runner as well as adding new voice options, cloud saving, and fixing numerous bugs linked to our weekly R.A.C.E!
Thanks to every employee who jumped on our Beta Branch and sent us their feedback and suggestions in the last few weeks.

The Salvage Runner is now ready to be fully added in-game!

Discover our Salvage Runner!

The Salvage Runner is a model of Gecko-class ship designed for remote salvage and recovery. LYNX Salvage operates the vast majority of Salvage Runners in service, and has been aggressively trying to corner the market and push out their closest competitor, Hanzo Freight.

Salvage Runners are industrial vessels outfitted with large Salvage Holds and decent-sized Crew Quarters for longer missions. Typically used for salvage operations that are either too hazardous or too broken up to haul to a yard, you never quite know what you’re going to find in the holds of these decommissioned ships.

One of the key components specific to the Salvage Runner is the mechanical Utility Arms scattered around its outer hull. These manipulators are critical for remote salvage operations, but they can be retro-fitted for a variety of purposes and seen as highly valuable.



The 0.2.2 update brings you:

• A new ship type added: Salvage Runner
  These rugged vessels are used in the dangerous act of remote salvaging
  Watch out for a variety of salvaged objects appearing in the cargo holds
  
  
• Voice Options Revamped & Expanded
  
  
• Cloud Saving
  
  
• UI text and labels in Scan Mode are now more legible
