Greetings Commander,
The latest update has been released: Release v1.0.3a - Apocalypso
Apocalypso is the void-ravaged C variant of the 'Ancient' hull class. Lost for centuries, the enigmatic craft recently re-emerged from an unusually volatile riftstorm on the fringes of Imperial space. Around the same time, there have been increasing reports of strange, biomechanoid starships surfacing across multiple exclusion sectors. Whether or not these events are connected remains officially unverified.
In addition to the Return of the Apocalypso event we've also included a number of balance changes (particularly to beam weapons) as well as the usual host of bug fixes and improvements.
Finally, this patch includes the much-requested confirmation dialogue when attempting to warp when friendly crew are still aboard the enemy ship.
