Get ready to engage in epic dogfights and even fly directly into a capital ship’s superstructure, Star Wars style. And don’t worry, no matter which faction the capital ship belongs to, you’ll have the power to reduce it to stardust. A new Combat HUD will even show you the hull integrity of these behemoths, making it easier to plot their downfall.
To add to the excitement, the game now features the Voyagers expedition. Get ready to embark on a cosmic journey to catalog the wonders of the universe. Participating in this grand adventure will grant you exclusive rewards including Autophage replica parts, a poster set to decorate your base, an electrified jetpack trail that will make you the envy of the galaxy, and a brand-new HoverDroid companion to keep you company on your travels.
