Update 93 MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Hello Commander, V93 is out!
There is a treasure hunt to earn prizes right now on our discord!!!!
https://discord.gg/EFAS


Notable changes
  • We have a new holiday currency (not purchasable) that will allow you to unlock an exosuit skin (limited to this event) and/or can be exchanged for crafting resources.
    It is earned on the reward track so you need to finish the reward track quests in your new ship's -1 floor!
  • New Bridge (ship interior)!
    Thanks to The Originals, our fervent tester, for testing that out and helping us fix a few issues


  • Activities can now reward chests (content scales with difficulty)
    Thanks to The Originals for testing that as well and making sure rewards are adequate!


  • Elites and bosses can also drop chests

  • These chests have a new 3D model

  • Weapon synthesis will now be based on the weapon’s level, not its quality (crafting a white weapon at max lvl or upgrading a max lvl white weapon will require late-game components so no one gets stuck because of lacking materials)

  • Equipment now have durability

  • The creative tools from the main menu and ship’s bridge are temporarily removed

Proficiency Overhaul part 2

  • All weapons have a proficiency level

  • Category proficiencies (Firearms, Explosives, Melee…)

  • Archetype specialization(Only one as of now, Traditionalist), that act like classes

  • All have different bonuses and Exp gain conditions that are explained in the proficiency menu

The Traditionalist specialization affects the items we traditionally see in most FPS:
Grenades (solo and triple)
Heal (potions)
Shields (deployables)

Leveling Traditionalist unlocks these items as well as a passive set bonus (added to all traditionalist items equiped):
  1. 1 Traditionalist item equipped: While wearing any armor, dealing critical damage ignores X% of the enemies defense
  2. 2 Traditionalist item equipped: Increases critical damage dealt with ranged weapons by X%
  3. 3 Traditionalist item equipped: Gives X% chance to not consume a consumable when using it
