New Mechanic Added to the Game: Ship Can Now Be Upgraded

New update that is currently under development is the customization of the ship, gun, and rocket trails! These don't only bring additional visuals and aesthetics but also bonus perks!

Custom Ships

Ships are now categorized into 6: basic ships, advanced ships, rare ships, epic ships, super ships, and special ships. As the ship stands higher within the hierarchy, the more additional perks and aesthetics it provides. 

• Basic Ships - provide no additional stats or perks

• Advanced Ships - each ship provides a small and specific additional stat such as +5% explosion damage.

• Rare Ships - each ship provides bonus for two stats that are a bit higher than the bonuses the advanced ships give.

• Epic Ships - each ship provides bonus for two stats and a passive skill (such as occasionally damaging nearby enemies). Epic ships that don't have a passive skill will have three additional stats

• Super Ships - each ship provides bonuses for all stats (amounts vary between ships) and a passive skill or an additional exclusive active skill.

• Special Ships - ???

During the early access, these ships are all available (as long as they are already added in the game). However, in the full version of the game after its launch, these ships can be unlocked through collecting their fragments. The number of fragments needed to unlock a ship varies between the categories. These fragments can be obtained through opening loot boxes.

Custom Guns

Guns are no longer within the ship and are now mounted under it. Just like the ships, guns are now also categorized into 3 categories: basic guns, rare guns, and epic guns, with each providing additional perks and aesthetics.

• Basic Guns - gun can be upgraded up to Tier IV upgrades.

• Rare Guns - gun can be upgraded up to Tier VI upgrades.

• Epic Guns - gun can be upgraded up to Tier VI upgrades and provide a passive mechanic, such as additional splash damage.

As of now, all guns have the same upgrade paths. However, this might be changed in future updates.

These guns can be unlocked through collecting gun parts, which are obtained through mission rewards, loot boxes, or a rare drop in-game.

Custom Rocket Trails

Ship movements now leave a rocket trail behind. Rocket trails are also categorized into 3 categories: basic trails, rare trails, and epic trails. However, as of this moment, rocket trails don't have perks and only provide additional aesthetics to the gameplay experience.
