Try your luck, I don't think you'll stand a chance though...

The shockwave from Sigyn’s breath caused more damage than originally thought; word of the Eye’s awakening in Sudenica DA-9C reached across the galaxy, but this was just one of the many changes the great catalyst had caused.

In an isolated area of space lived a viscid, thick, gelatinous life-form known as “VX-616” or “Vorax”, atop a large asteroid that once stood its place of birth - as the shockwave collided with this rock, a new course had been set for the creature; directly towards the planet Tartarus.

It didn’t take long for the colony and it’s surrounding area to be consumed by the lifeform - a transmission from a local scientist named Ada Valentina communicated the following instructions:

“Thank goodness you heard our call, Captain - here’s the situation: an evacuation is currently underway on the planet Tartarus; we’re looking at mass extinction thanks to the life-form known as “Vorax”.”

“What we need from you is to… Well… to purposely let it grab onto your ship… Don’t worry, you’ll have some time before it destroys you and your crew...”

“Once it has, hurl this monstrosity into one of the planet’s stars - when you’re in close proximity, the heat alone should be enough to weaken it, and loosen its grip.”

“Untold lives are counting on you.”



Infection is a 5v5 PVP and PVE mode, which tasks players with protecting the planet Tartarus from a voracious, spacefaring lifeform known as VX-616, or more simply as Vorax.

Players must infect their ships with strains of the Vorax and carry them to the enemy sector to be destroyed in a star. Enemy ships that are controlled by Vorax are attempting to deliver strains to planet Tartarus, to consume all life found there.

Players can attempt to force their way through with their teammates, or to attempt more stealthy methods to bring strains to the delivery zone.

Beware of the Vorax strains however. Being a carrier for such a dangerous organism is a hazardous task. The longer a ship hosts Vorax, the greater the likelihood of unexpected effects on systems. Destruction is guaranteed unless you can deliver it quickly.

Move quickly, defend the planet Tartarus, and destroy the Vorax strains.

• Acquire a strain by flying directly into it.
  
• Deliver it to the zone at the far end of the enemy sector to destroy the strain.
  
• An infected ship receives more damage and reduced healing, but becomes more agile.
  
• Destroying a host leaves the Vorax strain dormant for a short time, but it can be acquired again soon after.
  
• Deliver 3 Vorax strains to end the match.

The episode pack returns for Infection, this time the pack will only be sold for 1 Credit however – ensuring everyone can enjoy it at virtually no cost. That’s close to 9000 platinum’s worth of content for just 1 Credit.

The pack contains all of the following, instantly unlocked upon purchase:

• Two Hazmat Ship Skins (Ghost & Equalizer)
  
• Two Vorax Ship Skins (Gladiator & Disruptor)
  
• The Infection Hangar
  
• Limited edition Deal With It and Popcorn emotes
  
• A limited-edition Badge and Nameplate
  
• 3 x Dark Crew Pods

As part of the sunsetting of Fractured Space, there are a number of changes to Platinum and Credit prices, mainly all Platinum being removed from the game.

• Any Platinum you currently have stored in your account will be converted into Credits at a rate of 550 Credits per 1 Platinum
  
• All items that were previously sold for Platinum will now be available for purchase with Credits (such as Ship Skins, Legacy Episode Packs, Skin Bundles, and more)
  
• The Infection Episode Pack will be available to purchase for just 1 Credit
  
• Steam DLC will no longer be purchasable from within the game, from the steam store, or from authorised third-party vendors.
  
• Existing Steam DLC keys will still be redeemable in Steam for the content advertised when the key was purchased.
  
• Any Platinum earned in-game post this update as part of legacy Drop Pods or DLC will be burned for Credits when re-logging into the game

As part of this update a number Ship Skins that were either limited edition or not previously available in the game will now be purchasable for Credits.


Conversion of UI from Coherent to UMG, removal of Coherent from in game (Coherent is still used as our front end).

After investigation into performance improvements for the game, we found that Coherent was taking up a lot of rendering time, especially in large fights when a lot was happening on screen. We also found there were frequent minor lag spikes that we couldn’t pin down or remove.

So we made the decision to switch to UMG, which has involved an entire rewrite of the HUD. We have done our best to keep the HUD design unchanged.

A redesign was in the works, but phase 1 was to get the HUD working and looking as close to the Coherent version as possible, to reduce disruption to players.

Ultimately, we switched to UMG to make the HUD faster and gameplay smoother.


Jump system re-work
The jump system has been reworked, replacing jump home with a 2-charge mag system instead. You'll still be able to use 6 to jump home, but you'll also be able to use normal jump to access these home points as well. In addition, you'll also be able to jump immediately after already using a normal jump.

Tooltip review
All loadout tooltips have been reviewed and updated to match the current values that exist in-game.

Added Legacy Episodes to drafting vote and custom games
We've added in the option to vote for any of the past 5 episodes (Plus default conquest) to the drafting Gamemode vote in PvP games. You can also select any of these for custom games too.

Ability Icons
Ability Icons will now display a warning when disabled by Ability Disable or Disarm.

Daily Rewards
Daily rewards have been removed entirely from the game.


Centurion

Energy Drones
- Reduced Energy Drain from 180 to 50 per tick, increased leech fraction from 0.9 to 3.6.

Note: This will return the same amount of energy to the Centurion, however the target will have less energy drained.

Protector

Defensive Shield
- Reduced Energy cost per second from 160p/s to 100p/s.

Disruptor

BlinkToAlly
- Increased cooldown from 33s to 38s.

• Rarely at the end of a game the Options menu will be open behind the Results screen. This can be resolved by pressing Escape until the Options menu appears and closes.
  
• Sometimes the map will appear to display you or allied players as an enemy (red instead of yellow).
  
• Player pings on the map will not appear at the correct location in the sector.
  
• The "Ultimate Leaf on the Wind Ben Edition" logo doesn't exist in the Hangar or Drafting.

After long deliberation, the very hard decision has been made for us as a studio to move on from further development of Fractured Space; this will enable us to look towards new projects. Whilst no additional content, updates or patches will be released for Fractured Space, we do plan to keep the servers online for the foreseeable future, so everyone can continue to play the game in its current state, with all its current modes.

As a part of this update, all Platinum will be stripped from the game - any Platinum you currently have stored in your account will be converted into Credits at a rate of 550 Credits per 1 Platinum. All items that were previously sold for Platinum will now be available to purchase with Credits (such as Ship Skins, Bundles, and Credit Boosters). With this release, the Infection Episode Pack will be available to purchase for just 1 Credit. Steam DLC will no longer be purchasable from within the game, from the Steam Store, or from authorised third-party vendors. However, existing unredeemed keys will still be redeemable in Steam for the content advertised when the key was purchased.

It's been an amazing and emotional journey, we wouldn't be anywhere without our incredible players - you've been awesome to us. We thank you for all the support over the years, and for the fantastic memories we'll hold dear to us for the rest of our lives. And remember, we always had Gamma.

Following the destruction of the artefact shard at Sigyn’s Breath, shockwaves from the explosion reached as far as the site of the original artefact discovery; Sudenica DA-9C.

The resulting blast had awoken something beneath the surface of the site; an ancient artefact, something alive.

This ancient relic became known as the “The Eye”.

Corporations have now set up nearby bases of operations in an attempt to contain this power for their own research.

Newton Siddis has tasked us in ensuring the corporations don’t get their hands on this tech. He wants the Eye for himself, and he wants it alive.



Awakening is a new Conquest variant featuring:

• New Titan themed Home Bases
  
• New Alpha and Beta Sectors
  
• New Gamma featuring the Ark’ain Eye Boss

Titan Base

The Titan Base features 3 Missile Turrets that automatically engage enemies attacking the base.

• Turrets have 8,000 hit points
  
• Turrets fire a volley of 14 missiles every 6 seconds
  
• Missiles deal 100 damage each but can be destroyed with Point Defence

The Titan base features a Base Core that must be destroyed to win the game.

• The Base Core has 60,000 hit points

Gamma Sector

The new Gamma sector features the Ark’ain Eye Boss.

• The Boss comes Online periodically (like previous Gamma variants)
  
• When defeated the Boss will release buffs for all players in the Gamma Sector
  
• The level of Gamma buff your team receives is determined by the amount of damage your team dealt to it during the fight

The Ark’ain Eye has two weapon systems:

Beam Attack – The Boss will target a player and fire a powerful beam at them that cannot be evaded.

• Each team has a hidden “threat list” – the player on each team with the highest threat (the player that has dealt the most damage to the Boss) is the target of the Beam Attack.
  
• The Beam Attack deals a mix of percentage Damage and normal Damage. Over 4 seconds it will deal 16% + 800 Damage. Beam damage scales up 25% each time it comes Online.
  
• The Beam Attack will be fired once at each team, then the boss will use its Gravity Attack.

Gravity Attack – The Boss pulls ALL players towards it before releasing a large Repulse style attack that damages and knocks them away.

• The Repulse part of the Gravity attack deals 1500/2000/2500 Damage in addition to shoving ships away.
  
• After using its Gravity Attack the boss will cycle back to firing its Beam.

Gamma Buff Distribution

• Once defeated, the boss releases a buff for all players in the Gamma Sector
  
• For each 20% damage that your team deals to the Boss before it shuts down you will receive 1 level of Gamma Buff (up to a maximum of Gamma 3).

Gamma Buffs

• Gamma l provides your team with +5% fire rate, +10% damage reduction, +10% movement speed, and -10% to your cooldowns.
  
• Gamma ll provides your team with +7.5% fire rate, +15% damage reduction, +15% movement speed, and -15% to your cooldowns.
  
• Gamma lll provides your team with +10% fire rate, +20% damage reduction, +20% movement speed, and -20% to your cooldowns.

Introducing Legacy Episodes – previously released Fractured Space episode packs available again for purchase with all their exclusive content and that episode’s game mode unlocked to play in Solo.

Legacy Episodes can be browsed and purchased under the new Legacy Episodes page on the store. There, you will be able to explore each episode, browse its content, watch trailers, and catch up on the lore across the current storyline of Newton Siddis and the power of the Ark’ain.

Once a Legacy Episode is owned, that episode’s mode will then be playable as a solo game mode. Select ‘Solo’ then ‘Legacy Episodes’ in the game mode selection screen to access these.

Players who had bought the Episode Pack when that episode was originally available will instantly have access to the solo mode when it becomes a Legacy Episode.

The first Legacy Episodes available as part of The Awakening update will be Last Stand, Episode 1: Discovery, Episode 2: The Rift, and Episode 3: Catalyst.

Legacy Episodes are available at 2000 platinum each.

As part of this feature’s release, the Last Stand Campaign and the Last Stand Campaign Pack will no longer be active. If you had previously bought the Last Stand Campaign Pack, any unearned rewards in the campaign will be automatically gifted to you. If you had not bought the Last Stand Campaign Pack, fear not – all the exclusive rewards from the Last Stand Campaign are now in the Last Stand Legacy Episode Pack and are unlocked instantly upon purchase.

Also - Please note that playing a Legacy Episode in Solo does not track progress towards Medals or their attached unlocks, such as the Last Stand Badges and Swarm skins. This will currently be the case for all released and subsequent Legacy Episode Packs.




Adopt the darkness with the new Ultimate Skin: the TDS Aegis Vengeance, available only for a limited time.

This new ultimate skin will be available in The Awakening Episode Pack for 2000 platinum – 1600 platinum cheaper than the regular price of an ultimate skin on its own – which also includes a new hangar environment, two limited edition emotes, and more.

You can also earn the ultimate skin for free as part of The Awakening Episode Rewards, where you can also earn an exclusive badge, nameplate, and emote.

Both The Awakening Episode Pack and Episode Rewards are only available until the 18th October.

For those that earn the Vengeance ultimate skin as part of The Awakening Episode Rewards before purchasing The Awakening Episode Pack will earn a 50% discount towards the pack, making it just 1000 platinum.




Now available - Custom Emotes grant you the ability to emote outside of the chat command wheel. 12 new emotes have been added to the game, including “Fist Bump”, “This is Fine!”, “Go Team!”, and “Salt”.

8 of these emotes are available in the store. They can be purchased separately for 200 platinum each, or bundled up in the Emotes Bundle Vol. 1 at a 40% saving for 960 platinum.

2 separate custom emotes are included as limited-edition items in The Awakening Episode Pack, and the last custom emote can be earned as part of The Awakening Episode Rewards.

Chat wheel functionality has been expanded to accommodate the new wave of emotes. A second wheel, accessible via the Campaigns menu, can be customised with any of the emotes that you have unlocked; these emotes can also be bound to a key of your choice. The new emotes wheel can be accessed during a match by opening the chat wheel and selecting RMB.




The episode pack returns for The Awakening with a phenomenal offer – The Awakening Episode Pack contains the TDS Vengeance Aegis ultimate skin but will still be sold for 2000 platinum. That’s 1600 platinum cheaper than an ultimate skin is regularly sold at on its own.

Profile Page Re-Design
The profile page has had a re-design, with many of the options now being collapse-able to keep everything neat and tidy.

Cloud saves
Local data (crew setups, ship loadouts, emotes etc.) is now saved in the cloud. This means you will not lose any of this data if you move PC’s, or reinstall the game. Please note however, that hardware and keybinding settings are not saved in the cloud this way.

Voting auto ready up
If 60 percent of players vote for the same gamemode in drafting, it skips the vote and goes for the majority vote to save time.

Removed the Last Stand game mode from Co-op
You’ll still be able to play the mode via the Legacy pack once purchased.

Status Effects/HUD Changes
Status effects are now visible above the hud tags of turret platforms (e.g. home base turrets, Endeavor turrets) and base cores (e.g. Discovery base core).

Also, the Ally status widgets (on the left side of the screen) and the status effect text above your current target are now both enabled by default.

As it turned out, the distress call located in The Rift was nothing but a well-devised recruitment ploy, organized by Newton Siddis himself. He was never in any real danger, but was in fact, sat in a nearby cargo ship containing the very reason he came to The Rift - a shard of an Ark’ain Artefact.

All that’s required now is to escort Siddis and his Payload to his Research Facility, located in Sigyn’s Breath; trouble is, a few factions have caught wind of his findings, some of which will do anything to stop his experiments on such a volatile substance…



Focus the Payload and secure the victory in Catalyst. Work as a team to escort the rigged Artefact to the enemy base in this new single sector mode. Kaboom!

Be sure to keep control of the two Mining Facilities located in Sigyn’s Breath to ensure that you and your Team have the upper hand over your opponents in levels while also trying to push the Payload as far away from your base as possible.

You only have fifteen minutes to escort the Artefact as far as possible, if at the end of the time no one has successfully delivered the package, the team who has pushed the Artefact further will be declared the winners.




Chat wheel commands in Fractured Space now have the ability to beam a holographic emote above your ship in-game.

All players will have access to the ‘Affirmative’ emote for free. Select Affirmative on the chat wheel, and the emote hologram will appear in-game for your team to see.

Each command on the chat wheel has a corresponding emote – emotes can be unlocked via purchasing them individually in the store for 200 platinum, or as part of an emote bundle. The Starter Emote Bundle available in the store nets you all seven emotes at a 40% saving against buying them individually.

An exclusive Catalyst ‘Push Payload’ emote is also available to earn for free in the Catalyst Episode Rewards.

Coming in a future update, you will have the ability to add and unlock custom emotes not tied to commands on the chat wheel.

Owned Emotes can be viewed in the Profile page, under the Emote heading.


The game has been translated in Chinese and Russian, along with the already released English and German.

The languages can be selected from the launcher - right above the launch button or in the launcher settings.




Get playing the Catalyst game mode and pushing that payload, and you can earn yourself some exclusive rewards:

• 125,000 meters pushed – ‘Focus Payload’ Emote
  
• 500,000 meters pushed – Exclusive Galactic Express Badge and Nameplate
  
• 1,250,000 meters pushed – Superlifter Galactic Express skin
