Hotfix 12 - v0.5.11.18
New patch! We ain't stopping!

Features

• Melee weapons can now damage destructibles.

Improvements

• Increased salvage value of most pickupable items to make salvage during missions a more significant part of credits gain.
  
• Set Nisse's salvage value to 50, removing disassembly value and emphasizing the importance of protecting him.
  
• Increased memory retention for Heavy Raptor and Raptor AI, making them less likely to lose track of players.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue with inventory being cleared when abandoning a mission
  
• Fixed bug where icons wouldn't display correctly when holding a battery
  
• Fixed bug where enemy ships could attack and destroy the player ship while players was deep in a space station, not able to go back and protect it.

Miscellaneous

• Removed blinking invite button effect in lobby HUD.
  
• We are aware that some players are encountering microstuttering and other performance dips since Vendor Update launched. We are working on these, thanks for your patience!

This isn’t the only way to start, just what’s been the most reliable and fun for me.

---

1) Do the Prologue.
Gives story context and quietly teaches the movement/ship basics you’ll use everywhere.

2) Unlock an Aux. Generator ASAP.
More energy fields early = smoother power routing and fewer outages through storms or radiation.

PATHFINDER TIP: After you unlock the Railgun or the Bio Fission Generator, manually slot a second copy in the Hangar.
By default only one slot is auto-filled, so your C-3 Catamaran’s second slot can remain empty unless you add it.

3) Prioritise early upgrades: start with Bio Fission Generator.
It’s the only Aux Gen that actually increases net power when upgrading (others mostly add protected power). That extra budget makes everything else easier.

4) Rush 3× MK3 components early.
You’ll soon get a mission that requires three MK3 components. I hit it fast with:
• Bio Fission Generator MK3 – raises real power headroom
• Null Wave Reactor MK3 – balanced output + protection
• Mass Ejector Engine MK3 – the flare ability is game-changing; its cooldown roughly matches a single corvette’s missile cadence, letting you blank their volleys reliably

5) Then mix & match.
Once those are done, experiment freely. I like bumping a few other parts to MK2 just to preview MK3 and plan next steps without over-committing.

6) Region cadence: clear and move on.
I stay in a region only while there are map fragments or components left to discover. When it’s tapped out, I move on. It’s probably not the min-max path (some components drop in multiple areas), but it keeps difficulty ramping at a comfortable pace while you learn.

7) Keep your shields topped up (Catamaran C-3)
Recharging ship shields is done outside the hull after crafting a Ship Shield Unit at the fabricator.

How to:
• Craft: Ship Shield Unit (Uses: 4; Fabrication Cost: 30 Materia)
• EVA to the exterior of the C-3 Catamaran
• Locate the four shield recharge points on the hull
• Press Interact at each point to apply a charge and refill that shield node

PATHFINDER TIP: If it’s not in use, stash the Ship Shield Unit in shared storage so crew can see you’ve got spares and don’t waste materials crafting more. Recharging takes a moment-do it between waves or right before a jump. That said, don’t be afraid to top up mid-fight if it keeps you alive; the survivability boost is worth it.

Before: shield node depleted.

After: shield node recharged.

Built for versatility, the Catamaran C3 light corvette has long been a reliable favourite among small-scale merchants, smugglers, and bounty hunters alike. The ship balances speed and manoeuvrability with both defensive and offensive capabilities, along with a generously sized cargo hold.

This is the first ship you unlock as part of the Pro-logue of the game.

PATHFINDER TIP: I think this ship works best for crews of 3 or 4 players

Stats:

Component Slots:

---

Engineered for speed and agility, the Dart DT-4 is a heavy fighter frame for combat pilots and small crews. It's compact frame and forward mounted weapons make it ideal for dogfights and quick strafing runs.

This is the second ship you unlock by finding it's Blackbox during any mission in the Tyvian Expanse region.

PATHFINDER TIP: I think this ship works best for solo or 2 player crews

Stats:

Component Slots:

Works for me - not “the” meta.

---

• Pilot: ALWAYS controls Pilot Cannons.
• Combat Station: controls Special Weapons + Multi-Turrets (turrets are C-3 only).
• Buddy (AI): If your crew size is 1 or 2, Buddy takes the Combat Station automatically.

PATHFINDER TIP: Under 3 players, assume Buddy handles specials/turrets. Favour forgiving turrets (Assault/Flak) and long-cooldown specials (e.g., Railgun) so timing isn’t critical.

---

You control: Ship, Pilot Cannons, systems, nav.
Buddy controls: Specials + Turrets (C-3).
Frame pick: DT-4 for speed or C-3 for safety.

• Keep firing windows short: burst with Pilot Cannons, then reposition.
  
• Let Buddy provide background DPS while you handle flares, shields, objectives.

WIP - screenshot coming soon

---

Roles: Pilot/Guns • Engineer/Scanner/Boarder
You control: Pilot Cannons (Pilot) • Systems, EVA shield top-ups, fabricator (Engineer).
Buddy controls: Specials + Turrets (C-3).

• Pilot calls targets; Engineer keeps ammo/shield kits flowing and boards opportunistically.
  
• There’s no in-game voice yet-use text chat + pings (MMB) to call missiles, low Materia, or repair needs.

WIP - screenshot coming soon

---

Roles: Pilot • Gunner (Combat Station) • Engineer
You control: Pilot Cannons (Pilot) • Specials + Turrets (Gunner) • Power/repairs/shields (Engineer).

• Gunner times specials (Railgun/Targeting) with Pilot’s approach to delete priority targets-don’t fire early and waste ammo/cooldowns.
  
• Engineer tops hull shield points, restocks ammo, and handles fires/repairs.

WIP - screenshot coming soon

---

Roles: Pilot • Gunner (Combat Station) • Engineer • Support/Scanner/Boarder

• Support runs sector scans/uplinks, boards to disable enemies, secures/loots, and helps with fires/repairs as needed.
  
• Pilot focuses on vectoring and flare timing; Gunner owns all DPS timing from the Combat Station.
  
• Engineer keeps hull shield points topped, restocks ammo, and stabilises the power grid.

WIP - screenshot coming soon

---

Pilot: Fly, Pilot Cannons, flare timing, target calls.
Gunner (≥3 players): Specials + Turrets, swap firegroups, finish targets.
Engineer: Power grid, protected load, fabricate ammo/shields, EVA to recharge hull shield points (C-3 has four).
Support/Scanner/Boarder (4 players or Duo opportunistic): Sector scan, uplinks, boarding actions (initiate self-destructs), secure/loot, assist on repairs.

Below is a list of all Artifacts currently found in game in alphabetical order

PATHFINDER TIP: Our personal favorites are the Legion Blueprints, the Ship-Fed Fury and the Mass Proxy artifact, but in the end they all give some form of benefit, so it's better to slot artifacts if you've got empty slots than leaving them lying around (since uninstalled artifacts disappear on jump) or recycling them.

Currently there are essentially 4 resources in Jump Space. See a breakdown below

---

WIP section. Pictures will be added/improved when photomode is released.
Any enemy can spawn as an elite. We think that an elite means that it is harder to dodge their shots. Possibly that means the projectiles are faster or they are simply more accurate. They may also be more resilient.
The most common ship often spawning in swarms. Performs strafing runs. Will fly straight at you and fire a quick burst of shots then continues about 1.2km away before turning around and performing another run.
Priority Low: The deal very little damage and have low health, can be taken out if it is an easy target.
Only appears on easier difficulties. Same as a fighter but worse in every way.
Priority Low: You could probably forget about these and be fine.
Not much different than the normal fighter. Has the same attack pattern.
Priority Low: Don't go out of your way to get these instead of a normal fighter.
Also a common ship. It flies in close radius to the player ship firing a longer burst of shots.
Priority Medium: They can do some serious damage if you don't dodge any of the shots, but as long as it isn't right in front or behind you it should be easy to dodge.
An upgraded gunship. Has the same attack pattern but with even more damage.
Priority High: They hit hard but are quick to take out. Go for these when possible.
A gunship that fires missiles instead of lasers. They fly in wide circles around your ship.
Priority Low/High: If you can dodge missiles or you have the mass ejection engine these are lower threat than fighters. If you cannot dodge than take these out quickly as each salvo does a lot of damage.
A rare ship. It fires a single high damaging shot from far range. Watch for the enemy aiming indicator to spot where they are shooting from and when to dodge. They will boost away very quickly up to 2km when approached.
Priority Very High: Even if you know how to dodge these the constant need to be evasive makes these extremely dangerous.
A very rare ship. They deploy 3 mines at a time with a low fire rate and circles your ship in a very wide circle.
Priority Top: While not directly dangerous, the mines they produce can change how a fight is going quickly. They will almost always get one volley of mines off but do not let them get more than one.
Can be found in groups of 3 when entering a new sector or produced by the mine layer ship. When within about 1km of them they will fly towards your ship and attach. If left alone they will inject enemies into your ship and after long enough they explode.
Priority Top: Boarded enemies can kill the pilot which can ruin a fight. Either shoot these from long range, out run them, or put terrain between you and them and they will crash into it.
The largest and highest damaging enemy ship. It will fly in wide circles around you or flee if you chase it. It has a railgun similar to a sniper, burst fire like a gunship, and missiles like the missile gunship.
Priority Bottom: Strange enough this is the lowest priority enemy. Fly away from it and destroy all the other enemies before engaging this. They should almost exclusively be dealt with by boarding unless you have a rocket launcher. They have too much health to use your ship cannons for, it is a waste of ammo unless you have no other option.

This section is for funny glitches that have happened in game, if you have a story and want to share it here, just message me or put it in the comments section below :D

Random Fact: Did you know that the reason for bugs being called that way, is because the very first bug ever to occur was due to an actual bug getting stuck/squished in a touring machine.

• I was playing with some randoms when one of them tried to launch themselves out of the Eject tube whilst we were parking. This made them fly all over the place only to end up back inside the ship.
