The first couple of beta sessions proved very useful. Initial feedback has found 35+ bugs and feature requests. I've tried to take care of some of the low-hanging fruit, but also added the following player-requested features:
- Safe Zones around each ally Starbase
- Equip your Ship from within the Starbase
- Mine weapons and other items from Ship debris
- Better balancing of selling items to Starbase vs buying more missiles
