Loadouts include a usable item like a grenade, as well as a ranged and melee weapon. The characters that make up the Grey Knights can be upgraded and customised with different loadouts and abilities.
There’s also different research that can be conducted, with one type – conducting an autopsy on a defeated enemy – glimpsed in the trailer. Again, this seems to be very similar to XCOM, as resources like power need to be upgraded and constructed to manage extra facilities built within the ship. Outside of the turn-based combat mechanics, players will also manage and upgrade their base to ensure everything runs smoothly between operations.
