Version 0.9.0 is now available for anyone who has opted into the "beta" branch. This release includes lots of new content and some changes to the game engine. The biggest change is the addition of Korath territory (13 new ships, 32 new outfits, 8 new weapons, 40 new star systems, and a few other surprises). Other changes include:
- New human carriers and special "marauder" ships.
- Dynamic economy (influenced by the player once they have a large fleet).
- New weapon capabilities (slowing, shield disrupting, piercing, burst firing).
- Lots of small bug and typo fixes and usability improvements.
There are many other changes, too; for more details, see the changelog.
