DARKSPACE v2.92
DarkSpace v2.92 will have a huge impact on its further development. When I began the mod, I never expected it to grow that much. Back then I just added a lot of stuff for fun (mostly to learn), without thinking about more complexity or mechanics.

Many origins or civics feel, at least for me, very shallow. While I still like of their original ideas, I think its much better for the mod to remove old clunky stuff and turn them into dynamic features. This includes several (already deleted) origins, which will be turned into civics or perks. With this change, you as player can now mix stuff together, and/or combine it with other origin-mods.

The entire update schedule from v2.92 to approximately pre v3.0 will do exactly that - streamline the mod, but refine it a lot.This all is needed because v3.0 will finally include the huge final endgame of DarkSpace - a complex interactive story & crisis.

- Civic Spectrals: Added 1 new trait for immortality, because lore-wise they are.
