August 9, 2026 Loadout and Customization Update

Loadout, storage, talents, and customization now live in a faster, more unified ship-management flow with direct keyboard access.

Unified Loadout

  • Reworked ship management into a unified Loadout experience, bringing ship statistics, equipment, storage, and talents closer together.
  • Dedicated configurable hotkeys now open Loadout, Storage, and Talent Trees without needlessly losing the player’s current context.

Storage and Equipment

  • Expanded equipment management with equipped-state visibility, rarity-aware organization, Rare-to-Common sorting, pagination, and Sell All Common.
  • Players can manage gear directly between storage and equipped slots as part of normal progression.

Customization and Pause

  • Expanded ship customization, including shield-color presentation, with color selection remaining open during adjustments.
  • The pause menu more clearly organizes Loadout, Upgrades, Storage, Talent Tree, settings, and music controls.
