Deep Sky Derelicts Station Life

Deep Sky Derelicts: Station Life is the second expansion to Deep Sky Derelicts. It makes the station—a home and safe haven for your scavenger crew—a more varied and useful hub, with expanded facilities, new encounters and events, bounty contracts, and a new recruit class.

Upgrade your crew

The expanded facilities let you craft equipment, retrain crew members, install neural implants and customize their appearance. The Crafting Workshop, an extension of the Research Workshop, can craft any type of equipment after you disassemble an item of the corresponding type. The Experimental Surgery Department installs implants that enhance individual crew members’ skills and abilities, while the Neural Reprocessing Facility lets you reset and reallocate their ability points. Both facilities also let you change crew members’ portraits and individual scavenger-suit elements. Retraining and appearance customization are available to owners of the base game free of charge. The Research Workshop also has new technology upgrades related to crafting and implants.

Station encounters

Random encounters can have you defend the station from raiders, communicate peacefully with station dwellers and fellow scavengers, bargain with traders or brawl with rival scavenger crews. Some traders are shady dealers with high-risk, high-reward offers. These encounters take place in new station environments with unique room backgrounds, and timed events involving other dwellers can test your combat skills, luck or business acumen.

Contracts and missions

The local bar offers 10 new Bounty contracts. Track down and eliminate elite enemy groups, which pose a greater threat because of their special gear and traits, for hefty rewards and unique trophies during your derelict raids. The expansion also adds a dozen side missions and new NPC encounters.

New crew and equipment

The Inventor is a playable recruit class built for melee combat. This sturdy character has no shields, but uses distinctive health-regeneration abilities on the battlefield. The expansion also adds equipment types suited to hybrid class specializations, new mods and consumables, and six enemy types of varying power and nature to encounter on the station and across derelicts.
