2026.09.04 Patch Notes

Tutorial Redesign

• The tutorial has been rebuilt from scratch as the opening for the story
• Game systems are now taught within the context of a real mission
• HUD instructions with highlighting of the required action to help with ramp-up

Hints

• Hints about one thing on screen now point right at it instead of opening a modal
• New hints for extract zones and for fast weapon swapping
• The Starbase Upgrades hint now waits until you can actually spend perk points
• Retired several hints the tutorial now teaches directly
• Your ship now stops when a hint opens, so you don't coast into a wall while reading it

General

• Camera zoom can now be worked with a controller (LB + D-pad default)
• On-going replacement of various sprites
• Returning players are sent through the tutorial again

• Fixed confirmation prompts on world objects doing nothing if your ship drifted out of range
• Fixed derelict and abandoned ships being teleported to the launch point at the start of a raid
