Untamed Wildlife Worldbuilding: Fauna Take care when exploring planetside; the kopion hound and marok bird now roam the ‘verse. While the marok will leave you alone, the kopion is a finely honed pack hunter, so tread carefully… This first iteration enables further fauna in the game, more of which will be added in coming patches. Industrial Playgrounds Locations: Distribution Centers Explore sprawling new industrial locations dotted around Stanton, each with fresh content and missions to discover. These Distribution Centers are owned by one of the ‘verse’s mega-corps, including Covalex Shipping and Sakura Sun, so each imposing structure features a unique layout, bespoke architecture, and well-paying opportunities for enterprising citizens. Be Yourself Player Tools: Character Customizer Updates to the DNA tech behind the Character Creator give players more freedom than ever before to generate their perfect in-game avatar. New faces, hairstyles, and hair colors open up countless character combinations to ensure every player can be who they want to be. Intense Dogfights Combat: Master Modes Master Modes is a major change to dogfighting that brings ships closer during combat. Alongside more intense skirmishes, it moves ships closer to their intended role. For example, light fighters can better utilize their increased maneuverability to avoid heavy attacks, while gunships should rely on their overwhelming firepower and high defense. Limitless Exploration Player Control: EVA & Improved Movement Getting around the ‘verse has never been more intuitive. Refined character movement makes traveling on foot easier, while floating through space is much more precise thanks to vastly improved EVA.
