We're a bit late with our monthly recap due to the major content update that dropped earlier this month. Nonetheless, we want to give you a quick wrap-up of what we've been covering in our weekly gamedev & community streams the month before [i]Drake: Gang Wars[/i] was released. So in July, Erik covered the level rescaling to give pilots a better feeling of gear progression, making you feel more powerful the higher the item level that gear is dropping with. We're aware that some pilots just hate level scaling regardless of how integral it is to looter-shooter gameplay. That said we're not done refining the system, so you can expect some changes in the autumn update that will also introduce a snippet of the endgame as well as unique legendary items featuring extraordinary attributes. Speaking of attributes, Ship Attributes have also been rescaled to provide more impact and make those location challenges more meaningful, so even if you don't like the puzzles in [i]EVERSPACE 2[/i] there's now a good reason to do them nonetheless. ;) Next are six new perks that have been added to the game; three are unlockable through companions; the other three come available as player perks when hitting level 25. Not listing them here as you can easily pause the video when Erik is talking about them. In the second half, Erik covers new ship modules for the Vindicator as well as Flak Smart Ammo that prevents killing yourself when firing at targets right in front of you — you're welcome! Finally, Erik shows that Ships Devices now come with different ranges to make them more distinct and impactful to your playstyle: [previewyoutube=bLoSWZD4Q5w;full][/previewyoutube] Alrighty, this is it for now.
