ALPHA 9 is now available. This alpha sees the re-introduction of Torpedoes and multi tile damage.
Alongside Torpedoes there are a number of re-addtions (such as Kelbuim and more advanced lasers), new addtions (a new laser type and completely revamped ship wrecks) as well as the usual slew of bug fixes and optimizations.
For a full list of all the addtions and changes as well as how they all work please check out the forum post here : forum post
