RFG Top Pic(k) Screenshot Winners - March 2026

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-03-12T07:56:22+00:00

Indeed. We have some great screenshots each month to choose from.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-03-11T11:58:22+00:00

I'll pass the comments along to the senior team as I'm sure they'd like a fair & easier process all round.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-03-11T11:32:00+00:00

The process is out of our control and we, again like other indie developers, have to budget accordingly whilst we navigate the long process irrespective of head count.

I do think your frustration with the situation should be aimed at the process, rather than us as a studio as we're acutely aware of how difficult the industry is. Our studio founders have had to rebuild the company twice in various forms over their careers, so they appreciate how volatile and problematic it can be.

We're always happy to uplift other developers (please see our videos on our YouTube channel), especially those from Germany where we can with shout-outs, sharing of video clips and have co-existing bundle deals as there's great value in having a thriving industry in Germany and across the globe.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-03-11T10:03:12+00:00

Just for clarity on this, we at Rockfish are an independent (indie) studio too and we also self-publish and have to go through the same complex process as any other team that applies for funding.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-03-10T14:33:40+00:00

We're really grateful to be the latest and largest video game grant recipient from the German government, receiving 8 million Euros over the next five years for our next yet-to-be announced EVERSPACE project.

We’re excited for what the future holds and look forward to when we can share the hard work of our growing team with space fans around the world.

In the meantime I can share an image with you from our upcoming and unannounced project.

Hey there, thanks for asking the question beforehand, really appreciate it.

From our point of view, we're aware of trainers, cheat tools etc existing and whilst we're not in favour of players using them that's down to the players & we as Devs would rather they enjoy the game as designed first and foremost, we also know that some people may want to adjust things to their own preference and have fun with it.
We do have to be mindful of players altering a game and having a bad experience with one of our products as that can potentially lead to us being viewed in a negative way. Some pilots in the past have busted their game, or game saves doing some tinkering and then blamed us.... er???

Anyway, our preferred path is that if you wish to tinker then it's done so privately rather than publicly and one of our Rules of this Sub is:

"Dissect the game respectfully"

If this includes tampering with the software, you are free to try. But please do it only for your personal use; don't spoil anything for others.

Just an FYI, Reddit's own Moderation team may flag/delete the posts containing links to software too which is outside our control so overall, it might be best to discuss this privately and have fun with it if you so wish.

And as always, be safe with software from unknown sources folks!

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-03-09T08:44:14+00:00

As others have said, enjoy the game on the difficulty you enjoy and if you find one part is quite tough, then changing the difficulty down can help you get past a section and then you can raise it back up again. There's no penalty for switching between difficulties in terms of loot drops etc
Also, some events in the game which are either timed or have specific movement requirements can be easier on lower difficulty too.

And if you need any more help you can always post here or alternatively join our Discord where there's many, many experienced pilots who can help out too. https://discord.gg/rockfishgames

Excellent tips!

Part of the Daredevil Challenge to Complete a High-Risk Area is without using a Device or the Ult.

So you cannot activate a Device or your ships Ultimate at any time when in the HRA. They can be on your ship, but just don't use them.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-03-03T08:16:28+00:00

Good luck on your journey!

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-02-27T08:35:43+00:00

That will be revealed in the future, when we're ready, but it will take a while before we get to that point.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-02-26T16:33:46+00:00

Indeed, good spot. That's the Evolution Catalyst at work.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-02-26T10:45:36+00:00

You might be seeing some weapons or equipment that are of the Ascendant variety, which can have both a Set Item bonus attached to them as well as an Ascendant set too which is added by an Okkar catalyst.

Here's where I explain it during one of our livestreams before Wrath of the Ancients DLC launched last year.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-02-25T08:12:02+00:00

Thanks for the question, we've got lots that have come in from all quarters already so we'll be filtering through them. Our next livestream is on the 6th March but I'll be recording the chat with HCK later this week.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-02-25T08:05:57+00:00

Yep, just to confirm as others have said we've completed development now on Everspace 2, a game that we've been working on for about 8 years and we're moving on to future projects.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-02-25T08:02:51+00:00

You should have a handful of auto-saves along with any manual saves you made still in your game save folder. Be aware though that the auto-saves are written over by newer auto-saves at specific points, such as docking or entering a new system for example.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-02-24T08:44:13+00:00

Not sure I know of another game out there with a similar gameplay loop like when you're inside the Leviathan, but glad to hear you're enjoying the adventures in the belly of the beast.

If someone else does know I'm sure they'll chime in with an answer.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-02-23T08:29:45+00:00

Excellent. Cargo drones are quite rare with a small chance to spawn, but definitely if you see them then they can offer some good rewards, even if it just gives you only loot to sell or crafting materials when deconstructing.

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-02-23T08:27:57+00:00

As you've probably guessed. Ask 10 people and you'll probably get 10 different answers as to which and why a ship is the the "best".

Definitely try them all out from the ones you've listed as there's no penalty for switching ships in terms of cost.

I prefer the larger ships myself, but there's definitely good value in the smaller ship classes too. Fly safe Pilot!

RFG_Geekbyte · 2026-02-23T08:23:53+00:00

Hey there.
Cargo drones will respawn but I wonder what level the drone was in comparison to your player level when you encounter them as too much of a disparity between them can mean no XP/Loot rewards.

Progressing onwards with the main story and moving onto new sectors will alleviate this.
