We've just released a new update. It comes with a few tweaks and bugfixes as well as two new devices and one new consumable. It also makes our first major expansion "Encounters" available for purchase.

Unfortunately this update is currently not available for XBox One and on the Windows Store. We currently don't have a working Windows store version after upgrading to Unreal Engine 4.16 and can't give you an estimate when we will be able to release it.

• Added new device: Drone Disassembler
  
• Added new device: Target Decelerator
  
• Added new consumable: Plasma-Powered-Jump
  
• Added "target nearest hostile" functionality (not bound to a key by default)
  

Tweaks

• Outlaw Drone Carriers will no longer override player drones
  
• Outlaw hangars will no longer spawn ships if there are too many outlaws present already
  
• The ARC-9000 will no longer

Encounters

is the first major expansion for EVERSPACE™, enriching the game world with new story characters and questlines, a brand-new player ship, freighter-loads of novel equipment, additional enemies, and much more.

This expansion is as of now available on Steam and GOG. We currently can't give you a release date for the Xbox and Windows Store, as we currently don't have a working Windows Store version.

A NEW RIDE

Impress your peers with the new Colonial Sentinel, a medium fighter craft, and make use of its powerful shield and advanced electronic warfare capabilities. Mileage may vary.

NEW FRIENDS?

Play five new quest lines and meet new characters, each with their own motivations and agendas. Ever met a robot bounty hunter with a French accent who would rather create than destroy? Of course not. Or an alien scientist who sends you on a hunt for space creatures? That's right. Creatures... in space.

The summer update focuses providing some updates to the owners of battleships. There are special depots spread around in the Canis and Inner Core sectors, once you loot them you will have to gain one of tree update parts, which will boost your battleship performance for either weapons, shields or engines.

I just want to announce that dented_ship and Ajay volunteered to help keeping this Portal save and clean. Thank you guys.

Both have joined our Moderator team.

Thank you also to all the other Moderators, Super-Moderators, news writers and contributers.

If you were wondering why the Portal was offline today... well, yeah... HDD number 4 died this night. It meanwhile got replaced and backups were put in place.

If the components keep dying at this pace, we will have a brand new server in less than 2 months.

Attention, Pilots!

A major expansion is approaching fast (scheduled for end of October). It will feature a new player ship, the

Colonial Sentinel

, a medium fighter class ship, which will impress with some sophisticated electronic warfare capabilities and a special shield, featuring twice as much capacity as the standard model. You will also be able to use a plethora of new weapons, devices and consumables to fool, distract, and defeat enemies in new ways.

All-new factory space stations add further gameplay mechanics to the game experience, by offering special on-the-fly services, like refining and converting resources, upgrading ship capabilities or minor repair jobs. Furthermore, you will even be able to pay the Okkar Homeworld a visit. Along your journey, you will also encounter new story characters, who will offer individual questlines.

More details about the content and the pricing will follow soon.

Hello,

Thanks for all your continued feedback – we’ve been listening carefully and have continued to make a number of improvements. In this patch we’re introducing an overhauled save system, which makes managing saves between game modes much easier.

This patch is available now on PC and PS4. Read on for full patch notes!

New save system

• You will now be presented with 5 save-game slots (each of which can be used for any game mode). Your existing saves will be mapped into these slots
• Selecting an empty slot will start a new game, allowing you to then pick which game mode to play from the mode select menu
• There are now two sub-slots for each save-game – one for automatic saves and one for manual saves.
  • Automatic saves occur when exiting your ship, dying, purchasing a Freighter or claiming a base
  • Manual saves occur when interacting with a save point (these can be built from the build menu), or a beacon found on

Hello,

Today we’re releasing Patch 1.37, which introduces a number of improvements including a new ship control scheme for PC players, an upload all discoveries option and improved trade product prices. This patch will be available today on PC and PS4 – read on for full patch notes!

PC control scheme

In this patch, we’ve added a new tethered ship control scheme for PC mouse & keyboard players. This option can be toggled, and changes ship controls to be cursor based, meaning you’ll be able to direct your ship easily using your mouse. In addition, PC mouse and keyboard players can now look around the ship’s cockpit by holding the ALT key. This new option will be active by default, and can be toggled back to the original control scheme via the General Options menu.

Other changes and improvements

• Allowed economy Scanner to be used from the Quick Menu to locate an outpost
• Improved prices trade outposts offer for trade

Howdy!

Accolade complete: this webserver has killed its 3rd HDD

Thanks to the people that gave me a notice earlier today via email and moddb.

The damaged HDD meanwhile is replaced and backups seem to be working. It will take some time for the server to rebuild the cache for all the pages so it will be a bit slow in the next few hours.

If any chars got banned due to the failed CF updates I will unban tomorrow in the morning after the daily updates ran through.

Hello!

Thanks for continuing to share your feedback and reporting issues to us – we’ve been working hard on our next patch which is coming to both PS4 and PC today! Here’s a look at the fixes and changes you can expect:
