Space Combat Gets Drifting Mechanics and Collision Damage
Space Combat Gets Drifting Mechanics and Collision Damage
馃殌 Drifting in Space
Space missions now feature ship drifting mechanics, allowing players to maneuver while engaging Void enemies during objective runs.
Key Updates:
- Ship drifting capability added to combat
- Collisions now cause damage to ships
- Players must balance aggressive maneuvering with collision avoidance
This follows recent updates that introduced 10 new ground missions, random planetary events including Void tears with Residuum rewards, and rebalanced Void ships with missile capabilities.
Space missions just got a lot more.. fast and furious? You can now drift your ship while fighting off the Void as they chase you towards your objective. But watch your back, as collisions now deal damage to your ship. Good luck out there!
