Renegades, we gladly invite you to check out our public beta branch - or Playing with Fire, as we like to call it. You can access by right-clicking Star Renegades in your Steam library and going to the Betas tab.
We would HIGHLY recommend backing up your save files before playing with fire as these builds could be unstable and we don't want anything to happen to your save files. A quick and easy way to do that is to hit CTRL-F12 from the Title Screen and it'll copy all your save files to your desktop into a folder called "SR_Bug_Report". To restore these files, simply paste them in to your Documents/Star Renegades folder.
