Hello everyone!
Hope you all started 2023 on the right foot! Today we're bringing you a late Christmas gift, in the way of the promised 1.4.0 update and one of, if not the biggest, overhaul so far since release.
Among other things, it reworks the alliances system, adds new content and introduces something big that has been suggested by the community since the beginning of our adventure in Early Access: Transport ships!
It also introduces some important bug fixes and gets the game to its most stable state yet.
That said and as always, we'll be monitoring the forums and discord channel for feedback and bug reports.
Thank you for all the support and staying with us with the past few years.
Hope you enjoy the update, and see you in Eos!
