ICARUS Hotfix 1.1.1.89421 Hints at Possible Max Character Increase

Today’s ICARUS hotfix doesn’t include much, but one change is particularly interesting — especially to anyone who wishes they could have more than three characters at a time. Although an increase to the limit hasn’t actually been implemented yet, support has been added for displaying more than three characters on the character select screen. It stands to reason that they wouldn’t bother with such a change if they weren’t at least considering adding more character slots.

Other notable changes include a fix to some out-of-bounds areas on missions and the addition of Exotic deposits to missions that were missing them. There are a few changes and bug fixes; see below for the complete patch notes.
