New Profession: Doctor!
WIth Update #369, we've once again expanded the already lengthy list of possible starting professions for your captain. Profession is such an important option as it sets your base class, grants you unique skills and in this case, changes one of your starting officers. The Doctor is a leadership and healing focused captain, who gains a Combat Medic as an officer (as you usually get a Ship's Doctor in that officer slot) and can play may roles in the void, but a pacifist, explorer or hunter of scientific intel all come to the front of mind.
Enjoy a new run, captains!
New Medical Components
To match with the new Doctor profession, some new and exciting officer annexes have been added to the options for your medical-focused ships. The new large slot Hospital and Advanced Hospital double as an Officer Cabin (+1 officer) and grant big bonuses to Medical Rating, at +10 and +12 each.
New Stealth Assault Boarding Components
The starports across the galaxy are now offering boarding assault systems matched with stealth cloaking. These might be for pirates who prefers to pick their own targets while Blockading instead of random chances in the void or for captains who seek to avoid conflict altogether but if forced into it, would prefer to close and board. These 2 new small slot components can fit into a wide variety of builds and give new ways to buff your cloaking to avoid ship encounters while focusing on your ship combat strategy as well.
