Comments
It’s been a while but we’ve been hard at work adding all this new cool stuff. We have tried catching any bugs in our playtests but if there are any left, please let us know in this community or on our Discord server in the #bug-reports channel.
The changes we’ve made to the module alignments and directions will break the old ship save files on the scoreboard so we have changed the starting date to today.
Please enjoy!
