@Curlyriff ARMOUR CONFIRMED WITH 4.5!!!!!!
• A new Generalist class was introduced with the Clipper. More ships are planned in this category.
Summary stolen from reddit.
• 27 ships released this year. No concept ships. All straight to flyable.
• Engineering arrives later this year. We have been updating ships for a year and a half to prepare for Engineering in 4.5 this December.
• Ships are updated in stages. About one hundred ships will be fully ready for Engineering. The rest will continue to progress toward higher readiness.
• Armor comes with Engineering. Combat and balance will change.
• Aurora Mk II, 2026
• Hull B, 2026
• Hull D, now at 6,912 SCU. Hull E now at 12,288 SCU. The old numbers were too high for performance, gameplay, and economy.
• Ironclad SCU increased. 2,204 for the base. 1,440 for the assault.
• In 4.5, the Polaris gains torpedo control in the back right section.
• Salvation salvagers stay smaller to keep the ship in the starter category.
• The Clipper will craft FPS items first, then small ship items.
• The Clipper has two size-one shields. This is intended. It is a general-purpose ship. You can craft a replacement shield when the feature is available.
• Wolf weapon kits will be available in-game later, similar to kits like Heartseeker and Nova.
• A new Generalist class was introduced with the Clipper. More ships are planned in this category.
• Command Modules are working well internally. Coming soon.
• LAMP, light amplification for night navigation, is coming.
• Crafting for other ships? Carrack, yes.
• Ship naming is getting a rework. It exists today but needs improvement before returning.
• Missions 2.0 in progress. Shared rewards planned.
• Ship alarms? Yes, something we want.
• Turret work continues. They are not where they should be yet.
• Railen coming. More ships in 2026 from Drake, Aegis, RSI, Anvil, MISC, Kruger (Stingray), Gatac, Origin, Greycat. RSI Galaxy is planned for IAE 2956.
Indeed, we shall see how that goes and what it means next week and through PTU though. It is the opposite of what Dev said in Spectrum a week ago. And feels like it may not be fully thought through. It certainly wont be Maelstrom though so very dubious.@Curlyriff ARMOUR CONFIRMED WITH 4.5!!!!!!
(Frjádagr) A new 4.5.0 PTU Build is now available for Evocati to test. We will be monitoring overnight to determine wave 1 viability for Saturday
What good are features if they don't work though.
What good is a game with no features and people begging for it to be finished?What good are features if they don't work though.

lol yea. Can only hope they can make it to 1.0.I think we're still a way off human cryogenics.

On a serious note, are you excited about engineering? Or it’s not a feature you are bothered about? Or you hate it?
Have you played sea or thiefs or something similar? That game has similar engineering mechanics where stuff on your ship needs maintaining and can break individually during a battleApathetic tbh, I haven't even scratched the surface for what already exists, I literally fly around a bit and enjoy the views lol. Though I did an on-foot mission with a friend once, where we had to go into some bunker thing, that mostly worked but the infinitie spawning enemies coming out of some door was annoying.

Ouch OK. Maybe sq 42 is more to your likingNo I don't really play multiplayer games tbh.

This deffo still be the situation for when the bad moments happen on SC TBF. And why certain mechanics been stripped down to COD or BF in space for a lot of it rather than Arma or Ready or Not.Yeah it will be, I've never played a multiplayer game that isn't ruined by its own fan base, usually the sweaty types.
