Patches
Beta Patch 2
A big combat and quality-of-life patch: the beta now runs to 15 October, squads hold five, missile launchers move to battery hardpoints, armor and shields get base resistances, every ship gets a four-cell safety hold, and there are five camera modes.
Beta Patch 1
The first beta patch: loading and reconnect fixes, safer breach spawns, slower torpedo reloads, longer-lasting loot, better Prototype odds, and untethered trading in hubs.
Beta 1 (wipe 1)
Public beta gameplay opened on 30 September. The playtest runs for about two weeks (first announced as one), and progress is wiped between test phases.
