According to the developer, the class is intended to make salvage more of a viable career option. ”Search the galaxy for a host of valuable and interesting secrets using both the flight and FPS components. Discover the secrets of the ancient Hadesians, locate valuable components and cargo… or go down in history the first to make contact an entirely new alien race!” describes Roberts.
Roberts also teased the next stretch goal at $23M, the Xi’an Scout, which is a light attack craft that ”will be focused on a vertical aesthetic and maneuvering jets that can combine to thrust in multiple directions.”
The $20M stretch goal added first person shooter planetside ground combat.
