Steam update #11 is now live.
This build adds the much requested full screen mode option in the settings menu. The issue that was causing graphical problems with steam and other elements of the game is no more thus allowing this feature to be added.
Thankfully now that the bugs have calmed down a bit additional content and features can get back into the game. Bugs are still a major priority and constantly being investigated but to get to the root of the problem it often takes time. This update however adds a few more sector events to help with those who have been playing for a while. Restarting the game is not required to encounter them.
A new crew policy has also been added as well to remove any AI direct orders when combat immediately starts. This way crew should be even more responsive to their scheduled combat tasks. This change was a recommendation by a member of the community and it being a policy will allow everyone to tune the ship exactly how they expect things to play out. Keep an eye out for more policies like this to get the crew to work as you want them.
