Hey Everyone,
We are putting finishing touches on Update 58, and expect it to go live within 48 hours. Meanwhile it`s available in the Steam Beta Mode. And srry about a short interruption of service earlier today - we tried to bring this update live, but looks like we still need to iron out couple of things.
Here`s full update news for once it`s ready:
Coming Soon - Update 58
And we are back with another update introducing major new features and a number of important fixes and improvements. First of all you`ll notice that space vehicle landing and takeoff has been completely reworked with new GUI and mechanics.
We have also greatly reduced loading time of the game – going from sometimes 2 minutes, to just 20 seconds, and in many instances – like re-spawning it`s nearly instant now. In addition a lot of exploit fixes and other improvements across the board – including bringing back ability to pick up your vehicles.
Some major leftover issues from the big Alpha milestone has also been addressed - like sometimes the spawn ship not loading.
Thank you for your continuous support.
With that said, lets take a look at what update 58 has to offer:
