It has been a long time, too long, but new content update is finaly here. New way of aquiring resources has been added to the game. You can upgrade your ship with asteroid drill and mine asteroids. This will give you more yield than salvaging the debris with salvage laser. Asteroids have different pockets of resources in them, you have to scan the asteroid to see where the deposits you want are. You can then choose what to mine. Scanning speed is determined by your sensors module. Mining speed by the number of drills on your ship.
Other content updates in this release are cockpit view and ship tab in inventory window, where you can view your ship's stats and modules. Another small feature is that content of your inventory now spawns after death into a cargo box.
On a slightly different note. Azulgar Star Commanders has been in Early Access since 2017. We started as a team of people, but soon after release whole team fell apart due to lack of funding. Since 2018 it has been mostly me developing the game alone in my spare time. Volunteers came and went, mostly 3d artists who left their footprint, but 99% of code in the game was done by me. Hence the reason development is extremely slow. But it won't stop. Following is a roadmap of planned features, without any specific timeframes.

Hello Everyone ! We have added factory stations into the game. Once inside it, you can craft ship building parts from various resources, finally giving them purpose in the game. Drop rates from salvaging have been increased, while simultaneously cost of modules has been slightly

Ship editor now uses building parts from new resource system. We have also reworked and improved most of the editor features. Hopefully providing more streamlined and easier to understand interface. New features have also been added. Help overlay that explains functionality that can be turned on with F1. You can now rotate ship parts via right click context menu. Automatic snapping to ship surface can be toggled on and off. Along with improved dragging of parts (they are picked at the point under cursor), this allows for much more precision and creativity with ship designs. Last but not least, you can undo changes to the ship via Ctrl+Z up to five steps.
We also started working on visual side of the game. Station parts have all been unified in style. Previously there were some pieces of stations that were not textured in the same style. In terms of graphics and visuals, this is not the final version and we plan to continually improve it along the way.
Next we will focus on changing the world generator and adding minable resources to the world. More information next month.
Editor Changes:

Uses building parts from new resource & crafting system
Added F1 help overlay
Snapping to ship can be toggled (Alt)
Undo function with 5 steps (Ctrl+Z)
Added rotation via context menu (right click on module)
Ship modules dragging start jump fix.
Symmetry is now saved
Structures can be scaled

We added new sectors into the game. Namely: Earth, Venus, Ganymede and Saturn. It was our long time plan and was necessary to implement before moving forward to mining and giving players ability to do permanent changes to the world, like building stations. You can travel between them via warp gates. At the moment the sectors don't differ from each other in content, only in celestial body in the background. But this will be changed when resource mining comes to the game. Along with future expansions to other, possibly procedurally generated alien sectors.
Most of the time since last update we spent upgrading the networking code to improve performance. In the old version all the players were synchronized with each other all the time. Synchronization interval between players in one sector is now based on distance and players in other sectors are not synchronized at all. This will allow for many more players on the server.
We also added interface for ship's inventory and new ship building parts and resources. At the moment all you can do with them is drop them into space in cargo pods and pick them up again. Editor still works with the old system, where the idea was that the ship's chassis will be build with structure parts and every other module would have to be crafted by itself. But this seems a bit too tedious and inconsistent, so we decided to move to a new system. More about that with improved editor in the next update !
Download new version of Server Application
Release Notes:

Added new sectors (Earth, Venus, Ganymede & Saturn)
Added inventory and basic resources
Added cargo pods (ejecting items from inventory)
Networking code has completely been reworked
World is only downloaded once on first connection (subsequent connections are faster)
Players are synchronized based on distance, players in different sectors are not synchronized at all (allows more players on server)
Portal player spawn on other side collision fix

New update for Azulgar is here !
We have added shields and three new weapons into the game. Guided Missiles, that follow locked target. Plasma Gun, which is a short range beam weapon with bonus against shields. And a Rail Gun, which is a long range sniping weapon with high reload time. Minigun has also been tweaked and now uses overheating mechanism. Shields create a protective bubble around ship, that takes energy upon damage based on shield's ratio. There have also been several other tweaks and bugfies. Full List at the end.
So what's next ?
Resource gathering and crafting update. See you soon !
