| The Last Universe ! [Gangs of Space Closing] | 2018-11-26 | Gangs of Space was our child and became the prison of our hopes. Gangs of Space was a stroke of madness that arrived one day, or maybe a night, in Tokyo in the middle of an amusement arcade full of Shmup classics! Gangs of Space it was quite an adventure! You have understood, it is with great regret that we announce today the upcoming closure of Gangs of Space. Closing schedule November 30, 2018: commercial closure (end of the sale of the DLC).May 31, 2019: official servers and support closed. And after ? Total blackout? We will see, but we can not guarantee anything and in any case, it will be outside of Steam. Why do we close? Maybe one day |
| 8 new Skins to collect | 2017-10-05 | With the start of the Sixo Vaporis galaxy, we have added 8 new skins. All these skins are linked to special codes that you can activate in your account management area. The Skin code hunt is open! Lord British & Lord Chaos These two skins are a tribute to Ultima Online and two of its creators: Richard Garriott and Starr Long. They refer to the two characters they incarnated: Lord British and Lord Blackthorn. So if you meet one of these ships, maybe you have the chance to meet a legend (Richard Garriott is also an astronaut)! https://forum.gangsofspace.com/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0edae74270dd8a1cb69c431a062f6463b02d71dc.jpg How to get th |

| Death to the permadeath | 2017-09-21 | Death to the permadeath! Gangs of Space has been designed from the beginning to be a permadeath game (even before we introduced the “roguelite” elements like subsystems; our inspiration is taken mostly from old arcade games). Even though we - and many players - like it this way, it is true that losing a ship can be a demoralizing experience for a new player. So today, we’re introducing a permadeath protection designed to help beginners without changing the fundamental high-level game for experienced players. From now on, newly built ships will be equipped by default with a new passive item: the Auto-Warp. This item warps you back automaticall |

| Update v0.31.11 - Patch Notes | 2017-09-21 | Version 0.31.11 Tiesday, September 19, 2017 FEATURES Added permadeath protection as a passive item Auto-Warp that is equipped by default on all ships. While the Auto-Warp is equipped, any fatal damage will warp you back to the Motherbase instead. The Auto-Warp prevents you from equipping a passive item, it gives -25% to Sector Points & Credits during sector conquest, and prevents you from warping to T5 or T6 systems. Unequipping the Auto-Warp destroys it permanently for this ship. 10 new music tracks! New ships are now built with a random skin out of the 3 basic skins. SMALL CHANGES Added an option (enabled by default) to lock the mouse curso |

On the ladder side: DJOKKATAJA wins the TOP GRIND with a very impressive score of 1,174,894 SP. A new record! But Zed is just behind… on purpose, maybe?

On the TOP GANG, 8-bit Warriors get their first victory, pushed by their leader and their very active members. T |
