Be careful how you order your items

Each time you are hit, and item will drop from your ship. When you have no items left, you are only one hit away from critical hull breach!

Beam into derelict ships to use unique abilities to combat unique enemies!

Take the ship back to base to research the new technology for later runs

Check out the mothership bar between missions, in first person view!

Fully interactable level between missions to talk to characters about research, combat and story events

Death in co-op does not leave you out of the fun!

When you die in multiplayer coop, you will be attached to a player who is still alive, but you will be missing your items.

When the player you are in picks them up, you can shoot from the alive player's ship!
