Is this game lacking permanent progress or am I missing something?

hi I really want to play this game but lack of permanent progress after each death is just putting me off. I just run in first area for like 3h now and I try to host the game and play with people but we never even get to the boss, and usually I get there alone but die.

normally in roguelike games you can rise some stats and get more powerful with each run but here I do not see any permanent buffs to help me out.

I am still scout 1 (not sure what that gives) and have permanent upgrades that just give additional features but no power buff (weapon charger for alt-fire, transmiter to use translocators and house key) that is it. Always start with this level 0 sidearm and no artifacts.

Am I missing something? or is this game build in a way to not give you power boost with each run?

I cannot rise my stats in any way I know and spending ether at that thingy next to ship (3 ether) just give me stuff that is not permanent upgrade. I am confused as hell. As normally I play roguelikes for the power spike with the time spent but here I don't see it.

Can someone tell me how to gain permanent power so the first boss is easier? or even how to gain power in this game that is permanent?

Thanks
