I’m currently putting some work on the first release in the Anarkis Defense System 2.6x branch. I’ve more or less finished the ADS: Manager menus to handle the new Defense Grid feature. It will be possible to monitor your sectors for enemies and to manage and give to orders to all your big ships (M6+). I have yet to move the carriers’ settings directly in the manager and add some common orders to the command menu, but it will be for later.
This release will also include an early version of the Defense Grid system. Energy Cells will magically appear in the freight bay (it’s will cost you money, though), because it’s easier 🙂 and there’s already plenty of things to break in this version. More realistic handling will probably be added at a later stage.
