Hello everyone, xē'suelen nyahyan
Alpha 4.7: Welcome To The Rock opened its doors last week. Venture into the abandoned QV Breaker Stations scattered throughout the Keeger Belt in the Nyx system. These derelict sites hold rare and valuable resources, and unlocking their full potential means reigniting their long-dormant rock-cracking power. But not every station has been left untouched... or unoccupied. Are you up for the challenge?
This update also marks the introduction of Crafting T0. With item fabricators now online, you can begin creating FPS gear, including weapons and armors, using blueprints earned through contracts and materials gathered in the 'verse. To help you get started, we also published a dedicated Crafting Gameplay Guide. Inventory management also received a significant update, bringing a more intuitive look and feel to how you handle your equipment.
Speaking of new arrivals, the RSI Aurora Mk II officially stepped into the spotlight. Building on the legacy of one of the most iconic starter ships, the Mk II brings modular versatility and a refreshed design to a trusted favorite. The launch was supported by a Behind the Ships episode on YouTube, a Q&A Comm-Link, and a new trailer celebrating the next chapter of Roberts Space Industries.
We also published the latest Roadmap Update, where all Alpha 4.7 cards have now been marked as Released. Looking ahead, we introduced the first set of Alpha 4.8 cards, including Refueling Missions and improvements, Flight Suit G-Force Resistance, Ship Hangar Service T0, Vehicle Command Module, the Transport System, new weapons, and more, offering an early glimpse at what is currently in the works.
With Alpha 4.7 out in the 'verse, the teams are already acting on your feedback to keep improving the experience. Thank you for your continued support. We really appreciate your comments, especially in the recent focused Feedback threads, and in the Issue Council.
