While still on Steam Early Access, the sci-fi ship salvaging game Hardspace: Shipbreaker is getting a healthy amount of updates, with the Business is Booming update available now. This new update has a new ship archetype and now Demo Charge tool available for use.
Today’s update rolls out the Javelin ship archetype, offering a totally new challenge with a drastically different look and feel from Hardspace’s previous vessels. With most of its features externally exposed along the ship’s spine, you’ll need to completely rethink your salvaging approach.
Meanwhile, the new Demo Charge tool adds even more options to your arsenal, giving you an explosive that can be placed or thrown freely before remote detonation. This comes in addition to a revamp of the tool durability system, as well as a variety of QOL updates and fixes.
You can also now get Hardspace’s original soundtrack as a standalone item or bundled with the base game on Steam. This soundtrack will continue to expand during early access at no additional cost.
