There's an unlikely series of events that can cause you to lose control of an entire sector as it's taken over by self-replicating nano-machines...
It doesn't really happen that fast, but it's currently unstoppable...
Right now, I'm working on a way for you to fight back. Several, in fact. It's not released yet, but by some time in February, you should finally be able to get that last achievement...
You'll journey to new locations on unique missions and have a chance to earn upgraded equipment. You might even get to witness this:
But that's for later... Now, did you know that
The Engravers quest line is finally complete and released for all players!

(it says it's the beta branch, but it's out for everyone!)
Officer level 99+ crash fixed:
The average level of a game-winning captain is 9. Once you hit level 11, you can go beyond all the limitations of "how many levels a skill has" and make yourself crazy-OP. And Approaching Infinity says "level up forever". It'll take forever but sure, go ahead.
But.
When you try to go to level 100, the game crashes. Well, today I fixed that. It's not released yet, but you folks are now able to keep leveling up until some other number goes out of bounds... I'll guess we'll see what happens ;)
Allies
Something else I did today, in preparation for a special nanopocalypse quest: I made it possible for you to have allies follow you around on away missions, fighting on your side!
