Dabo
You can now play Dabo in Quark’s Bar or the new Dabo room on Drozana Station!
Pick your stakes and place a bet on up to three locations on the wheel.
Get paid based on what combinations of symbols show up in each of those locations!
Click the Info button for a full pay schedule.
See where on the wheel other players are betting, and who the biggest winner is.
Get that wheel spinnin’ and save your Gold-Pressed Latinum for the awesome Dabo store items!

Scanning Game
Check out the new Scanning Minigame, which gives you a chance to improve the results of your harvesting!
When you interact with a harvestable item, on ground or in space, you’ll see a new window.
This will show you two waveforms, one blue (the target) and one red (the current).
Click the on-screen buttons or the keyboard arrow keys to change the frequency and amplitude of the red waveform to match the blue one.
Be quick! You need to do this before the ambient noise becomes too great!
If you match the two waveforms, you will get more (and sometimes better!) items.
If you don’t succeed in time, or if you decide not to play the minigame (press “Quit” or the “F” key) then you will get the normal harvesting results.
