The fourth one will let you build a base of your dreams without worrying about food, oxygen, or thirst. If you die, you'll lose your progress and will have to start over again. Since this game mode gives you one chance to live, no respawning. Not only do you have to worry about health, oxygen, water and hunger, you will have to worry about your life. The third one, as the name tells us, is more difficult.

Which is nice, since Subnautica has a lot of stuff to explore. In other words, it's a game mode for people who want to explore without having to bother with surviving. It also leaves all the items in your inventory after you die. The second game mode basically removes every mechanic that is related to surviving, such as the aforementioned hunger and thirst mechanics. The first one pits the player against the elements and forces them to think about food and water through its thirst and hunger mechanics. Has a mode for people who just want to explore Subnautica has four game modes: survival, freedom, hardcore, and creative.

Where as if choosing a slow ship with good gun capabilities and a high shield power, a good strategy would be to go in guns blazing for each encounter. If choosing a fast ship with low shield power, it will be best to outrun a lot of encounters. Depending on the ship used and what equipment is used or where it is place can greatly affect how the game will play out as well as how the game will need to be played. There are also many choices of ships to use and equipment layouts for each that can be tweaked. These choices can all effect the final outcome of the game, so it is up to the player to make the best decisions at their disposal. There are many decisions that can be made in the game, such as what parts of an enemy ship to target (their shields, their weapons) or where to concentrate your defensive strategies, such as powering up an ion engine to run, or powering up ones shields to stay and fight. It is likely still broadly correct but not verified for the most up to date data yet.Allows for highly strategic gameplay The rougelike game design combined with the huge amount of choices that can be made in both encounters as well as ship management makes FTL a highly strategic game as you never quite know what the game is going to throw at you.

EMP arcs now deal 100% of base non-EMP damage instead of 25%.

This makes dropping shields against an Ion Cannon particularly risky. When hitting hull or armor an EMP arc will form in addition to the Ion Cannon direct damage, potentially striking weapons or engines far from the impact point. It is notably very flux efficient, but its range is quite short and it is more expensive to equip than other small energy weapons. The Ion Cannon is a small energy weapon that deals most of its damage as electromagnetic pulse ( EMP) damage, which can disable surface systems of ships such as weapons and engines. Rarely the only weapon type fitted on ships. The weapon also fuses certain circuits, and can mildly strain shield generators, thus it does negligible amount of permanent damage. When the ion bolt impacts the target it creates a localized magnetic field which plays havoc with all manner of electronics, including sensors, fuel igniters, targeting modules, computers, etc. The Ion Cannon's nonstandard gain medium projects highly ionized baryonic matter in a coherent bolt. A medium range energy cannon that delivers an electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) and can quickly disable enemy systems/engines.
