Minor Update
Hi everyone! Minor patch today, mostly behind-the-scenes stuff like a engine update (Unity). There's also a band-aid fix for that "infinite money" bug; proper fix and more balance changes to come soon. Early Access ends soon. In the next few weeks I hope to do a lot of balancing

The Big April Update has been Updated & 40% OFF!
Two quick tweaks have been made following player feedback: Collision damage has been removed. Refueling and reloading is much faster. And one big tweak: a 40% weeklong discount! That means more game for less money, huzzah! -Simon P

Minor Update: Clever Girl
Raptor pirates will now use their brains and aim more accurately, so it'll take more than circle-strafing to take them down. Good luck!

November Update: Playable Police Ship & Trading Cards
With this update you'll be able to pilot a TriceraCop cruiser! It's more heavily armoured than the starting player ship, but has a much shorter flight range, so you'll have to stick close to the centre of the map. :triceracop: This isn't shown in-game yet, but the Miner and Trice

Greetings everyone! Development on the game continues and today's patch fixes several small bugs and introduces one new feature.
Minor Fixes

Minerals will no longer lose their colour and appear white
Comets will no longer destroy buildings
Added a bit of polish and animation to the player select screen
New Feature - Mining Ship
This feature is still a work in progress, but I thought I'd make this ship playable ASAP to get your input. When this feature is done these ships will be unlocked by performing certain feats in-game, but for now the Mining Ship is unlocked from the start.
To switch to the Mining Ship, press the Right Mouse Button (or Y Button if you're playing on Gamepad) when you see your ship in the Player Select screen. The mining ship is bigger and slower, but has much more health than the regular ship. Its weapon, the grinder, uses no ammo so weapon upgrades serve no purpose.
This will require a lot more balancing and polish later, including changes to the HUD. But for now, enjoy and drop a note in the Community Hub if you want to share your thoughts.
Coming soon: playable Triceracops ship...
Thanks, and have fun!
