As said on our twitter feed, I fixed a bug that was causing a kind of global crash / meltdown of the game, usually happening after a few hours, but sometimes very quickly. And of course, it was trivially easy to fix. I am torn on publishing a hotfix just for that, especially now that many other features have been partly implemented and are still mostly untested. We’ll see in a week or two when the dust settles.
Speaking of features, the main additions are the new integrated galactic map, as shown on the screenshot, the addition of civilian mining ships and a new way to handle weapons. I will go into more details about those in this article.
