Thank you to everyone who has bought Void Salvage, shared feedback, reported bugs, or supported the game since launch. It means a lot, and I've been working through that feedback to improve progression, clarity, balance, and several of the game's systems.
Please consider leaving a Steam review. Reviews are one of the biggest ways you can help the game reach more players.
Update 1.2.1.7
Disrupt Jammer now spends 5% of current creds minimum of 10 creds while above zero. Having zero or insufficient creds does not block activation.
Evaded plasma no longer inflict Ionic
Asteroids no longer bypasses Shield
Better System Deterioration
Each Hull Damage now randomly selects one of the equipped Systems before rolling for a chance to deteriorate.
Integrity: If the System still has Integrity greater than 0, it rolls its deterioration chance. A successful roll loses its Integrity.
Drawbacks: Once a System reaches Integrity 0, successful deterioration rolls can add stacking Drawbacks up to the maximum.
Compromised Systems: After reaching the maximum Drawbacks, successful deterioration rolls begin reducing the System's Tier. Once it reaches Tier 1, three further successful selections will cause it to become Broken.

In Service Docks, Augments are grayed out during tier upgrade selection.
System blinkers now only affect eligible systems for the interaction during upgrade tier, socket inserts, repair, etc.
