== Features ==

 

All handheld weapons possess an aim-down-sight function. They can also be modified with a number of attachments, such as scopes, but replacing one attachment with another results in the loss of the old attachment. Players can own multiple copies of the same weapon, but can only carry a limited number of weapons when disembarking from their ships. Weapons have finite ammunition which can be replenished with consumable pickups found in the field. Players can drop ammunition and grenades for other players in their instance to pick up if desired.<ref name="QAwep" /> Other consumables include the [[Medkit]] and the [[E-Breach]].<ref name="Mission" />

 

Players can also collect new items: [[Components]], [[Data]], and [[Goods]]. These are variously used as mission objectives, a source of income, and materials for upgrading pilot equipment.

 

NPCs at settlements are classified as either guards, who are armed and will investigate disturbances or attack detected hostiles, or civilians, who lack personal shields to protect themselves but can alert guards to intruders. When intruders or illegal activities are detected by an NPC, the player can kill that NPC to try and prevent them from contacting other NPCs and alerting them. Certain actions such as shutting down a settlement's power plant will trigger a general alert across the settlement, but it still takes time for guard NPCs to gather at the reactor building to investigate the problem.<ref name="Mission" />

 

=== Stellar Forge improvements ===

 

=== Other additions and changes ===

*Two new [[Pilots Federation]] [[Ranks]]: [[Mercenary]] and [[Exobiologist]].

*With ''Odyssey'', the [[Standard Docking Computer]] and [[Advanced Docking Computer]] can detect suitable landing sites and automatically land ships on planetary surfaces. Previously, these modules were only capable of automatically docking ships with [[Landing Pad]]s at [[Station]]s and [[Surface Port]]s, and landing on planetary surfaces required manual control from the player.<ref name="Mission" />

*"Wings" are renamed to "[[Teams]]".

*The [[Detailed Surface Scanner]] gains a series of filters to allow players to isolate various geological and biological features on planetary surfaces.
