Hi Prospectors

You can now add custom skins to your Techs. Each corp has its own brand new custom unique skin for you to use.

We've also added some new features to Co-op Creative, such as tethering and teams for you to roam across a larger terrain.

You can now add enemy Techs to your Co-op Creative game and also use shield and repair bubbles as well as other power blocks to give you a fighting chance.

There's also been some design tweaks, bug fixes and even more new blocks.

Enjoy,
Matt
