Goal was to introduce another minor faction into the game, Kuiper Extraction, operating in contested systems, mining lords of the stars. Currently fields 3 ships in battle - The Ironmark, Corehold and Oreward.
The design goal of Ironmark and Corehold is to introduce additional late game alternatives to the Rampart. They play similar roles but have different ways to demolish and annihilate opponents.
The Oreward is introduced in an attempt to 1) experiment with ship designs that bring value to the table without costing movement actions 2) When on the opponents side bring pressure on to the player

Also introduced 2 new events (with more to come), a "protect ship" event and a "raid or trade" event.

Introduced another item upgrade, missile banks, which launches 1 random missile at enemy adjacent unit at end of turn.

Also added some more music from legendary Joakim Hellgren.

Also fixed various issues, bugs and improvements

Current TODO list

-Increase readability, UX to make game easier to pickup
-Balancing changes
-And much more
