It's been a while since our last news publication, and it's time to tell you what we're doing right now. Our main focus is the next update — version 1.41. It will include several quite important features and changes which are going to be a massive shift in the way you play Space Rogue. Keep in mind that work is still in progress and some of the features described below may change.

First of all, all game stats will be multiplicated. For instance, ship hull will have thousands of hit points instead of hundreds. Why? Mainly, because fractional numbers are complicated for understanding and balancing, so we got rid of them where was possible. However, these are not just cosmetic changes. Different types of stats get different multiplicators in order to make weapon damage more significant for crew members. Accurate numbers will be in the patch notes when the update is released.
Balance improvement isn't only change affecting your crew. With 1.41 update you will be able to decide which way your crew members will develop. Whether you need a tank warrior who takes all damage by himself or engineer with amazing repair speed, you will have such options. Besides, engineers will receive the ability to improve bays effectiveness — just like a captain. Oh, by the way, your captain's possibilities will also be enhanced. He will receive some unique passive skills and ability to give combat orders (more info about the later).
Space is dark and full of terrors. Who knows what you might encounter on your way to the glory of the greatest cosmic adventurer of all times. Recently, rumors appeared about strange giant Crystal floating through the galaxy. It behaved very hostilely and even shot down a few trade ships without any warnings. Some would say, they are just scary stories for newcomers. However, we'd be on the alert, if we were you.
Other changes relate to your comfort and stability of the game. Some improvements and new options in the interface are waiting for you as well as some bug fixes. The 1.41 update will be live later this month.
