Hi everyone,

Alpha patch 0.9 has been released today via Steam to all Alpha players. This patch includes a reworking of fleet management and a couple of small bug fixes. The first version of the planet management assistant that was discussed in last Friday’s dev diary is pretty much done, but needs a little more testing still so didn’t make it in to this patch.

Dreadnought class hulls are here

Each civilization now has access to their very own dreadnought class hull!

These ships are massive. Plenty of large weapons slots means they can be equipped with a beastly amount of firepower including fighter carriers and torpedo launchers. Coupled with a robust frame that can stand up to powerful attacks, they really are the ultimate addition to an empire’s armada.

Hi everyone,

Alpha patch 0.85 has just been released via Steam to all Alpha players – along with the launch of the awesome new ‘Alpha 3‘ galaxy! If you didn’t catch yesterday’s announcement post we recommend you take a quick look as it also explains why the game is still in Alpha.

And if you got an email yesterday about your Steam Key arriving today – they’ve been emailed out today already so should be in your inboxes by now (or spam folders).

Joining the new galaxy: after logging in, players will be able to join the ‘Alpha 3’ galaxy. Players that had previously joined the ‘Alpha 2‘ galaxy will also be able to continue their game there, but it’s been closed to new players.
