Hey Everyone,

As we continue to roll out a series of big updates this summer, we are happy to introduce update 64. We continued to include a lot of back-end updates, but this update also brings noticeable changes and new content.

Some of the biggest additions are humanoid AI, with locations around the game world protected by hostile NPCs that guard great loot and will put up a fight. AI uses variety of weapons like pistol or SMGs. We are also bringing back territorial control with hubs that players can capture and build up, as we prepare the framework for factional warfare and territorial control. In addition, reworked Ferry network allowing players to travel anywhere in the star system with introduction of short hall and long hall pricing. And first batch of new gear is now available at the NPC merchants. There are a lot of other changes and improvements across the board

Next update 65 is about two weeks away, and will include a lot more gameplay additions and improvements.
