The latest update to Fractured Space is here. The headline new features this time around include the first introduction of our Blind Pick feature, the ability to set up custom games of up to 10 players, and two brand new ships:, the TDS Basilisk and the USR Guardian.

Blind Pick is the first iteration of what will eventually be a full drafting system, including several different ways to set up your matches. For some further reading on just what the new system involves, head over here[www.fracturedspace.com]

Custom Games are your chance to team up with a group of friends to compete in pre-made matchups. Whether this be 1v1, 3v5 or 5v5, the option is now available to you. These exist outside of the matchmaking and, don’t confer experience or other awards. For more on these, check out our earlier blog post on the subject here[www.fracturedspace.com]

The USR Guardian is a more mobile sniper ship, moving faster around the battlefield than other long-range damage-dealers to take up tactical positions in short order. The TDS Basilisk is an unconventional stealth ship which employs powerful support abilities to cause havoc in the enemy ranks. For more on the new ships, you can read up on the Guardian[www.fracturedspace.com] or the Basilisk[www.fracturedspace.com] on the blog.
