Organic Frigates – Players may now encounter organic frigates as they explore deep space. Civilian freighters encountered across the galaxy are now pre-fitted with a variety of bases, which may be modified and expanded after purchase. Freighter Variety – Freighter exteriors have been visually upgraded, with enhanced textures, improved colors, and high-detail surface decoration. In addition, freighter bases now have access to free placement, disabling snapping and collision checks and opening up the possibilities for more creative builds. While building on a freighter, preview holograms can now be seen through walls, making it easier to see exactly where a part will be placed. Existing base parts may now be directly replaced without deleting, conveniently preserving their existing position and snapping.

Exterior Freighter Building – Freighter bases can now be extended beyond the hull, with observation decks and catwalks providing a direct view of the vastness of space.

Engineers, biologists and technicians display their thoughts as they patrol the base, and your hired frigate captains and squadron pilots visit your capital ship between their deep-space excursions. Dynamic Crew – Freighters now bustle with specialist crew members walking around your base. Existing freighter bases have been preserved and legacy parts are fully compatible with the new set. These pre-decorated rooms can be further customized, or players can use empty room variants and take total control over decoration.
