Ryan has been up to more odds and sods, fixing the Transference Power mod and the Colonial Administration skill description. Additionally he’s fixed station inventories not showing the asterisk for modded items and allowed users to search their inventories for specific mods. Lastly Ryan has been through our lower tech ruin items and adjusted how the prices and balance for a lot of them is calculated, the overall result should be that some items are a bit cheaper, some are more expensive, but they’re more powerful than they were before.


Omg yes! I love the idea of being able to search for specific mods, been wanting that for a while actually. Well done devs you get a double thumbs up from me.

Theodore’s work on bringing the unavailable imperial skills to the game is complete, although I have no time frame for when they’ll be on live for you to train.


Cool, so basically adding some skills for everyone who has exploited imp seals in storage something to do with them. This issue should be looked into before this is released.

Glad you like it! How it works "behind the scenes" is it searches a second string for the mods, in the format of [Composite][Forceful] in this example item. so if you type "force" you get all items with forceful mod AND all items with force in the name. You could type "[Forceful]" and just get the modded items, or even type "][" and get the double modded items.

This is a non-issue because the new skills will not be trained using Imperial Skills. They are only referred to that way in the blog because they were created in the old days according to a similar pattern (5 levels of a small % bonus to a given stat).

Are they just credit sinks or what? And can we change the old imp skills to not take imp seals either?

They are mainly commodity sinks. I will save the details for when they are closer to release (not sure when they will be patched in). And there are currently no plans to change the existing Imperial Skills. The new skills being put in are similar in format but are not related thematically.

To clarify, the actual stats have changed on some of the ruins items? But only for "lower tech" ones? What is defined as "lower tech"? Im glad ruins are being looked at though.

The short story is that many ruin items were a lot worse than they should be due to the fact that their costs were set to much lower than their actual acquire costs in-game. Upping the cost the balance sheets considers them as gives a lot more "raw power" to the item that can be used towards various stats. This wasn't universally the case (most high tech items were correctly set) but most low tech items were very far off, and will see the biggest change on average.

Pixel has been working more on our permanent drones and playing around with making some missions automatically start when you enter the galaxy. He’s also done even more UI improvements.


How about we just completely remove that instead, since it's really fucking annoying?
