Friends, the notes for the next major version of the game, 1.6, have just been released to playtesters, and it's a DOOZY. Some of the major new features include:
New Combat Control Center
This new feature gives us a one-stop-shop for important controls while in the midst of combat, and it looks AMAZING.
New Fleet Controls
When you reach the rank of Subadmiral, you have control over all friendly forces in the sector, and right now, to be honest, it's a bit clunky. This new fleet control system looks to really streamline controlling other ships, putting them into fleets and moving them where you need them. This will make coordinated attacks on things like enemy starbases so much more streamlined.
And Much More
We're also getting a ton of other new features such as:
- Upgraded escorts (they have phasers now!)
- Integrated notepad
- Quick navigation to specific planets, or planets with landing parties
- Use of in-game currency to repair or upgrade your personal battlecruiser
- Artifacts and experimental equipment
And this is all just for version 1.6, which us playtesters hope to get by the end of the month, if not sooner. Future versions should have even more goodies to the leadup to 2.0!
If you'd like to be a playtester and help us get the game to Steam even sooner, plus play with all these new toys, be sure to contact Trevor Sorensen using our site's contact form!

We can't wait to not only get our hands on 1.6, but to eventually bring 2.0 to Steam with all these goodies, bug fixes and more! Thanks for reading y'all!
