Release notes here. This is the last build before the 0.900x phase of the game’s development process, and it’s a big one! First off, what’s new in this release? A bunch of changes have been made to balance, as usual. Several new ship mechanics have been added, such as a new “Bunker Buster” and “Charger” mechanics.…
DetailsRelease notes here. Badger has really outdone himself with this one, I have to say. This adds quasi-experimental support for multiple AI factions in the galaxy, along with a bunch of new tools for letting specific AI types spawn specific things at game start. Then Puffin has been really on top of it with a bunch…
DetailsRelease notes here. This version has a surprisingly-robust revamp of the tech costs and the scaling between tech levels in general, thanks to Puffin. I didn’t have any idea this was coming, and he trialed this with players on the forums first and it quickly became clear that the new approach is better. Huge kudos! Slightly…
DetailsRelease notes here. I’m slightly sick and very tired, so the release notes will mostly speak for themselves, I think. But there’s a lot of amazing stuff in there from Weapon Master, helpfully integrated by Badger and Puffin, along with a long list of things that they also put together. The Dark Spire are getting increasingly…
DetailsRelease notes here. The way that the AI sneaks around has some bugfixes and works better now, and the Hunter fleet should be a lot stronger because of the AI knowing better when to retreat. AIs choosing to sneak past your forces and harass you should now be more effective, too. And the nanocaust should do…
DetailsRelease notes here. At long last, transport ships in the style of the original game have been added to the sequel! Except we implemented them in an even friendlier fashion here. It may be possible to do some cheesy tactics with these since they load and unload instantly, but we’ll deal with that as the case…
DetailsRight – so I took a 90ish day sabbatical from work. What the heck was that all about? I said I’d update you guys on that (and be coming back to work properly) in January, so here we are. This was a really tough video to make, but overall I’m doing well these days. There…
DetailsRelease notes here. This is an entire month’s worth of changes from the volunteer brigade, and the list of changes is far too long for me to fully address here. But one thing that is almost a minor note inside the release notes list itself is the fact that CPAs are going to be properly coming…

DetailsRelease notes here. The title of this one is a programmer-y joke at the expense of us human meatbags. But I think it’s also a pretty apt description of some of the new AI behaviors in terms of how it decides to take major actions at a planet. Sometimes bumrush you, sometimes go away for a…
