Content

Nearly all of the content in PULSAR will rely on a multitude of the core systems. Because of this, we decided to wait until most of those systems are in place before implementing a lot of the game's content. The amount of content is growing much faster now that we are in Beta.
Some of the content we have so far:
55+ planets to visit
40+ space scenarios
400+ NPCs with dialogue
7 playable starting ships
6 major hubs
65+ missions
3 sector commanders
AI - (Crew Bots and Enemies)

PULSAR’s AI systems are nearly complete on a feature level but still require a few new behaviors, polish, balance and bug fixing. PULSAR allows Captains to customize how their AI crew behaves to meet your playstyle. AI can be customized in-game and can dynamically update to your changes during the game. Even without modifying the AI priorities you should find them useful in a variety of situations including space and ground combat.
Polish

As we make progress on the feature set we have also been working on polish and general quality of life improvements. We still have more to do here, polish takes time!
