Update:Game Update - Drone Combat - Dailies
It was added on 23 October 2020.
This update features a core update to the player-owned drone mechanic: drone combat. Pilots can now attempt to cripple their rival’s drones. Space just got a lot more dangerous. Additionally, this update includes an overhaul to the daily trade mechanic. The old trade daily mechanic has been removed. The new daily mechanic uses the story mechanic and allows for daily tasks beyond trading. This new daily system includes daily trade, hacking, boosting, attacking, and travel missions for pilots to complete. The rewards structure has been increased as well for dailies. Rewards range from increased money, intel, XP, mods, items, and tokens.
Tokens are a new tradable currency that can be used to craft unique mods at Gemini Station. Tokens can be earned by completing dailies and participating by unique, special events.
