• Pyro space stations are bigger than the ones in Stanton.
• Rough & Ready gang own majority of Rest & Refuel stations in Pyro.
• Ruined Station (one from Citizen Con) has been expanded.
• Hangars will have direct access to the Cargo Deck.
• Hangars in Pyro will have external freight elevators to allow for (un)loading of ships like Hull-C.
• “Win station will have something called Ghost Arena”.
• Contested Zones are like MMO dungeons
  • Open space with loot.
  • Easily accessible directly from the “normal” part of the station.
  • Some routes are hidden behind puzzles, traps and key cards.
  • Various levels of difficulty, various rewards.
  • These are free-for-all zones.
  • NPCs there are not linked to missions and will respawn on a timer.
  • There will be Kopions running around, maybe more in the future.
  • Boss fights are also planned, not confirmed for 4.0.
• Social parts of space stations are still green zones, no combat allowed.
• They showed clips with light-enhancement scopes.
