Deep Sky Derelicts New Prospects

Deep Sky Derelicts: New Prospects is the first expansion to Deep Sky Derelicts. It adds new exploration mechanics, locations, conditions, enemies, equipment and missions, along with the Miner character class.

Explore with new stances

Choose between Stealth, Rush and Normal exploration stances: sneak past enemies, ambush them or conserve energy and proceed as usual. Remote scanning and field treatment also expand your options. Field treatment restores wounded squaddies’ health and temporarily boosts your card draw when you are away from home.

Conditions and locations

Derelicts can have global conditions such as dynamic gravity and plague ships, as well as radiation waves and other effects. Local conditions include planetary hazards such as blizzards and sandstorms. Ghost Ship derelicts are full of stealthy, dangerous enemies, while Tourist Trap derelicts offer more loot alongside more dead scavengers.

You can visit ice and desert planets, as well as settlements belonging to different factions. These confined, guarded areas include scavenger colonies, pirate forts and scourge nests. You can interact with them in several ways, including taking contracts, trading and pillaging.

The Miner and new enemies

The Miner is a new character class with a custom look, an ability tree, an exclusive heavy ranged weapon called the Blaster, extension mods and new cards. The expansion also adds 10 enemies, including deadly new variations on the Cobra and Skink, and the Dreadwurm, Stone Shepherds and Myrmexes.

Equipment and missions

New equipment includes regenerating shield cores and new mods for outfitting your scavengers. A dozen new missions take place on planet surfaces and inside derelicts.

Interface updates

The scanner screen gains a stance selector button, and the star map screen displays information about minor and major ship conditions.
