Hi everyone,
Alpha patch 0.91 has been released today via Steam to all Alpha players. This patch includes a roll back of several of the recent fleet management changes, several bug fixes and visual improvements.
Updating the game client: the game should be automatically updated via Steam. Please check here if the download doesn’t automatically start when you launch Steam.
The recent changes to fleet management triggered the strongest negative response we’ve ever seen from the community. So instead of continuing in the direction outlined in the dev diary, we agreed to rollback those recent changes. However, there were also aspects of the new system that players liked, so those changes have been kept.

Multiple dreadnoughts in one fleet
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.

Hi everyone,
Alpha patch 0.88 has been released today via Steam to all Alpha players. Dreadnought class hulls have been added in this patch, a number of frustrating bugs have been squashed, and more…

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.
