The current batch of work for the next update is well underway, and I wanted to post about it, because it's taking a fair amount longer than most updates.
This update will focus on the player building additional Sites (mini-bases) to be used by other human Mothership crew members (NPCs). It expands the amount of base-building in the game by a fair amount, and provides a source of credits and extra research points for players who choose to build one or more additional Sites. NPCs gain some extra features, and several other game systems require additional work to support Site functionality.
This will all take a while to complete. The update will likely be released sometime between 1 and 2 months from now.
