Hello, dear followers. We are glad to inform you that we can please you with an update already on the next day after release! At first we thought that we will make an updates every week, but now we feel that we're able to make an updates every few days, or even every day! Seems like it would be pleasant and for you and for us.
We worked on your requests and bug reports, plus radar was totally reworked and added one new cannon. Not all of the planned bugfixes and features have been implemented, but we will continue tomorrow.
We want note that your idea of automatic construction for drones made the gameplay much more enjoyable. As you see, we don't want to load you pointless chore, so feel free to suggest any radical changes in the game. Now we are sure that we've launched an early access just right in time, we get a lot of ideas and bug reports that would be impossible before Early Access.
