Upgrades such as;<br \/>\n-The rocket turret now works.<br \/>\n-Turrets attack the player and your ship(which much renders the Decoy obsolete).<br \/>\n-Turrets can act as an anti-missile system.<br \/>\n-Turrets are now on cargo ships, making them even harder to approach, let alone board. Their systems are conveyer-fed, giving them infinite ammo.<br \/>\n-Seems the default spawn platform now has more toys to play with (new game only).<br \/>\n-Ship weapons now have fire modes, which I&#8217;m not all that happy about (was hoping they would do it like most games of its gene, which is left click for guns and right click for -Conveyer tubes now have curved pieces.<\/p>\n<p>But the one feature that really has me interested enough to make this blog post, turrets are now on cargo ships, is pretty awesome. It makes them a lot less boring. I even played around with this thing, and happy to report they&#8217;re quite vicious and fun at the same time, especially Military-class cargo ships who use the new rocket turrets.<br \/>\nIf your ship isn&#8217;t equipped to handle one of them, expect to find a lot of hull breaches<\/p>\n<p>Another feature, which is equally interesting, is that cargo ships now have turrets to defend them against would-be pirates. Coupled with the fact they also have anti-missile systems, they should be even harder to approach, let alone board. Read that their turret systems are conveyer-fed, giving them infinite ammo.<br \/>\nThis seems like an added challenge to Survival players, if they decide to go pirating instead of manually getting their resources themselves.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nSadly, I don&#8217;t see any hint that they&#8217;ve fixed turrets from attacking your station while attacking asteroids. Still need to test. I haven&#8217;t seen any game-breaking bugs, thankfully. And I believe they made loading a game faster now. Pretty sweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t see how Keen Software House is focusing on bugs here, as they said they would in the last update.
