What's new?

Gameplay Updates:
- New BEAM enhancement! We've affectionately dubbed it the "Donut Laser", due to its firing arc. (all around the horizontal axis of the ship.) This enhanced beam has been added to the Trio and Quintet class ships. This feature is a game changer, and combined with the change to torpedo homing, encourages ships to keep moving as they fight. Battles with these ships should be much more dynamic now, especially PVP fights.
- Captain has Hull readout on Duets
- Torpedoes lose homing after a couple seconds (easier to dodge if you're a great pilot)
- Removed blocking from Engineering screen when repairing
- Shield Focus (Science can redirect where shield is absorbing/recharging better)
- Shield Frequency Modulation moved to Science
- No delay when switching from forward/aft torpedoes.
- Reduced lock-on time for turrets.
- Higher max shield health
