Psionics?

[Spindles]

I remember reading that the game would feature psionic skills at some point. It was one of the reasons I sprang for this game, so few sci fi RPGs go with psychic powers and they can be really fun. Has there been any news on that stuff yet?

Hi Spindles the Keyboard Goblin - Psionics are still planned. They will come to the game through a series of side quests related to the Coven - a faction I have not talked about yet. The Coven is related to the Phage outbreak and have mutated on one of the ships that initially set out from the home planet in search of a new place to live in the Galaxy. During the trip a good number of the Sleepers on that ship gained powers that were outlawed in the Core Systems. Shortly after the Arrival, they set out into the Borderworlds and have not been heard of since.

I'll be getting into this during Alpha a bit more. They use a new series of weapons that amplify their Psionic powers ;)

Right now I am focused on space combat.

Additionally I have hope for Cybernetic Augmentations

[chookahead]

^^ +1 for Cybernetic Augs.

[Stellar Tactics]

Cybernetic Augmentations are on the futures list ;)

The lack of psionics is the only thing preventing me from getting heavily invested in this game. Don't want to make an underpowered, psionics focused charater when they aren't in the game yet.

[tempestlrd]

yay for implants and psionics

[Spindles]

I hope the psi-enhancing gear looks cool. I've always been a fan of that "Sci fi "wizard" aesthetic. Long coats, hoods, electronic staves or glowing gauntlets...

Psionics are always good. Xcom2 for instance.

Hi i've just bought the game and did'nt know Psychic was a thing until i was making my character and spotted it mentioned under intelligence.

Has Pyshic been added to the game yet? If not, is it worth me making a high Int character for when Psychic is released?

[Stellar Tactics]

Hi Dylan and welcome to Stellar Tactics. This feature will be implemented way down the road. I'd say it cannot hurt to put some points into INT since it does help with skill gain and initiative. Later when Psionics goes in the game that character will have a nice boost in power.

I haven't seen it in the game, so I don't it does.

Yet, even without it the game is pretty good, so I don't see a reason not to buy it.
