Update 6: The SpOiled One is on the way on August 3rd, and we wanted to give you a taste
of what to expect! Full details, and all the juicy bug fixes, will be in the Patch notes available
on playspacepunks.com once the update launches.

New Planet; Spor

I never thought I’d find anything dustier and oiler than my favourite takeaway on Devil’s
Gambit, but I’ve been proven wrong; prepare to embark on a host of exciting new missions
and events on Spor!

Respawn Feature

You’re not dead; you’re just resting your eyes. From now on, when you’re playing in a group,
and you lose all your precious hitpoints, you’ll be able to respawn after a certain about of
time, but be careful; those ”naps” get longer each time.

New HUD in Missions

We’re getting too many insurance claims for lost Pathfinders, so we’re making it easier not to
get lost.

Enemy Modifiers on Stopan an...

General:

• Additional voice overs have been added to in-game dialogue.

That's a new one, I've added it to our list of bugs to be investigated!

👀

Hey, going forward in OB, we can't say for sure there will be none as something may require it that we didn't foresee, but we don't plan on having any more during Open Beta!

Currently, we have three server locations, one in EU and two in the US (one east and one west).

But apparently the west server is getting good connection to OCE :D

[removed]

Howdy everyone!

Open Beta is TODAY! I hope you are as excited as we are!

With Update 5, we aren't just going into Open Beta; we are premiering Space Punks' first endless experience; the Crack. This is our first step to creating a vibrant and engaging end game for Space Punks, giving you as much challenge (and loot) as you can take.

What is the Crack

The Crack is a cosmic entity of unknown origin filled with priceless riches that can be found nowhere else. Its structure resembles that of a neural network. Research suggests that it might be a portal, and no one knows where it leads to… Think of Crack as a crooked mirror that reflects Hoardspace. The Crack uses the reflection of the world around it as a way to guard its mysteries from trespassers.

Hey Pathfinders, Space Punks Update 4: The Core One is now live!

We’ve added some new story missions, as well as overhauled Restarting Mining Facility. These are aimed at improving the early game experience with more fleshed out and robust missions.

• Safecracking: KI-42 can acquire legitimate passports - but in exchange, he wants some data harvested from one of Tangun’s data centres. You’ll need to recover it by making your way to server access point 3. Be careful not to overheat the system mainframe!
• Rescue Robot!: Ellington disappeared while on a parts scavenging mission for Fink, and needs to be rescued. But be careful - Stopan is a dangerous place, full of murderous robots. And to top it off, there have been reports of strange objects falling from the skies…
• Restarting Mining Facility - Mission Overhaul: Mines are supposed to be mined. The clue’s in the name. But this m...

Hey Pathfinders,

We promised news on our upcoming update, Update 4: The Core One!

We are looking to strengthen up the core gameplay of Space Punks with this update. Story progression and unlocking missions and planets has been revised to scale with hero level and power level, and we’ve taken a look at difficulty levels in the game and redesigned how they work.

The quest to increase visual clarity and get all the info you need when you need it continues, this time with character abilities and upgrades.

We’ve also added some new story missions! If you are looking for passports, rumour is KI-42 can set you up in return for a favour. It also seems like Ellington has gone missing on Stopan while on a mission for Finks, nothing bad ever happens on Stopan but just to be sure go check in on him ok?

Update 4: The Core One is going live on the 8th of February with a full list of changes and patch notes!

Hey Pathfinders, it’s patch day! Space Punks Update 3: The Friendly One, is now LIVE!

We’ve spruced up contracts to make it easier to follow your progress.

- Monitor your progress during missions so you never lose track of your progress!

- You’ll also be notified of any completed contracts to hand in. No more excuses for forgetting!

Forming parties has never been easier! Check out our new and improved Party UI, now with new and improved hub inviting!

- The interface and menus have been spiced up, ready for easier than ever navigation and functionality!

- You can see and invite pathfinders in your hub, as well as those you just ran missions with.

As we mentioned in our previous post, this update also includes some changes to our infrastructure and game networking code to improve the experience for players who may have low connectivity, poor network, or performance issues, so if you’ve experienced this in the past we’d lov...

Hey Pathfinders,

It's been a hot minute, but we are ready to reveal to you our next update, The Friendly One! We are focusing on the backend here, with technical overhauls to systems to make your playing experience that much smoother!

We’ve upgraded the system behind parties, so now inviting friends to a party (and keeping them there!) should be a breeze. You can also invite players in your hub world, as well as any you may have grouped up with previously. The entire system also got a new lick of paint, with a whole new UI to make navigating your social menus and groups much easier!

Improvements are also coming to contracts, your daily and weekly challenges! Overall the system should be more user friendly; you can check your progress in missions, there are neat little pop-ups to track your progress, and alerts for when you have one to hand in. No excuses for forgetting now!

There are also numerous bug fixes (code ones, there will still be enemies on ...

Server maintenance is now over and you should be able to reconnect to the game! Make sure to restart your client to ensure you have the latest patch!

Fixes:

Players should no longer loot gear with extremely low stats.

Crafting requests should no longer fail.

Thank you for the bug reports and feedback!

Hey u/everyone, server maintenance will commence in 15 minutes and is expected to last for two hours.

The official patch notes for update two - The Crafty One!

• Batteries have been added to the crafting system. Juice it up, baby!
• Depending on the rarity of the battery, you may get additional software slots when crafting weapons.

Hey everyone, in preparation for the update two, The Crafty One, the game will be offline for maintenance next Tuesday the 28th for two hours starting at 8am BST and ending at 10am BST.

Hey Pathfinders!
The next update to the Space Punks Early Access is coming on September 28th. If you caught stream on the Epic Games channel, we mentioned what you could expect, but if you missed it or just want to know more, check out the post below for details!

Crafting System

They say ‘fake it till you make it!’ but we say ‘make it and then use it cut a path of destruction through the galaxy!’

The crafting system has been revamped. You’re now going to be using bits to craft your weapons, formerly ‘crafting parts’. We’re also throwing batteries and software into the mix. The batteries will unlock software slots in your weapons, and then the software you add will help improve the stats even more!

Who doesn’t love a software update!
