A more upgraded version of the system allows for longer mind control as well as health and combat bonuses. Mind Control is a system that turns an enemy into an ally for a certain period of time. The player is then allowed to start a “hacking pulse” with varied effects depending on the system. Once there, the drone closes the door to the room it’s hacking and grants vision inside of it to the player. Hacking is a system that sends a drone to a chosen enemy system at the cost of a drone part. All type C ships come with a clone bay installed and old ships can replace their medbay for one at the store, usually for 50 scrap. Although the replacement of the med-bay means the crew can’t heal normally, the clonebay will restore a slight amount of health per jump. Death can still be permanent, should the system be damaged mid-cloning. Clones are generated when crewmembers die as result of combat (for a small crew skill penalty) or events such as Giant Alien Spiders or Escape Pod Floating Nearby. New Race: on FTL writer Tom Jubert’s blog, he specifies that there will be a new race that will be closely tied to the new sector, which has been tentatively named the “Abandoned Sector”.Ĭlone Bay is a system that replaces the Medbay. New Weapons and Effects: Many new weapons that take advantage of new mechanics: overcharging to increase the number of volleys, stun effects to freeze crew, and area effect targeting, to name a few. They’ve been helping us add a new sector and scatter new events throughout the rest of the game. New Sector and Events: Our writer Tom Jubert has returned along with special guest writer Chris Avellone (of Planescape fame), who managed to find some time for us between his work on Project Eternity and Wasteland 2. Unique effects for each system, ranging from forcing a teleporter remove boarders to making the medbay damage instead of heal. Hacking System: Lockdown and disrupt enemy systems. Force a boarder to repair the damage they just did, or have the enemy pilot sabotage their own helm. Mind Control System: Temporarily turn enemies into allies. Some of these new features include but are not limited to:
