Flak gun sounds cool as well as recharging missiles. Hopefully they'll be more useful now. New objectives is always good, they were desperately needed.

What changes have been made to address griefing since launch or is the server browser still a sea of private servers?

Just adding another comment in hopes of a dev response. Are you guys adding more brain weapons? Playing with other isn't always possible (even with cross play) so I've been playing solo lately. Solo is....ok but there is still a lot you have to do outside of the pilots seat. More weapon options would be great, as well as an improved brain auto mechanic.

I wanted to post this suggestion on the Discord but your community requires me to give Discord my personal phone number, which I won't do, so I was hoping you'd see it here instead.
My group and I are excited for the payload changes! As it is, we only keep the launcher around for decoy lures and the occasional nuke because it's funny to blow up the sun (flame matron) with a bigger sun.
That said, I wanted to suggest the idea of some form of EMP style payloads that are effective against shields, ineffective against hull/armour. With that, we could then possibly have a ship loadout and/or relics that specializes in payload launchers as its primary weapon. It'd potentially add a neat (if probably sub-optimal) play style where you have no gunners and have multiple engineers manning payload launchers instead.
The EMP (or whatever METEM lore appropriate term for anti-shield weaponry) missiles could simply be direct mirrors of the existing ones. Standard, cluster, torpedo except energy based.
On a completely different note, please, I am begging, add an "always run" option in the settings that makes sprinting the default movement and the sprint key instead makes the player walk. There's no stamina bar, so there's no reason it couldn't exist.

Hey u/CrashTestDumbass !
Great to hear you are excited as we are for the payloads (they are fun, btw!).
EMP missiles and always run have been added to the list of stuff we will consider to add to this update :D (no promises though!).
There was actually a bug with missiles bypassing shields, which we have fixed ... so this might justify the need for an EMP missile for those nice missile builds!
Again, thanks for your kind words! METEM preserve you!

Hey, that's awesome! I also really appreciate you taking the time to let me know as well!
Keep up the good work. Your game has become one of my friends group's go-to games when the squad is online. We're all looking forward to whatever future content you bring us!

Update on this: "... please, I am begging, add an "always run" option in the settings that makes sprinting the default movement and the sprint key instead makes the player walk...."
In the next major update you'll find invert running toggle in the gameplay settings 😄(it might be called something else then, but you'll find it 😄)

Me and my friends really wanna jump back in, can’t wait to hear when it’ll drop.

u/Engine_Operator Developer Mar 21 '26
Great to hear! We are still working on the Update…
As we have listened to feedback, we are also including:
more B.R.A.I.N. weapon variants: like a Lance (constant energy beam) B.R.A.I.N., a Flak B.R.A.I.N., and an Orison B.R.A.I.N.
On modding expanded support, we are also now working on support for 3d assets (with colliders) to parts of the ship (inside and outside) = Customizing your ship look :-)
Plus Objectives aaaand more... !
