Coming up on full release!
We are taking the final steps to reach full release and one of the biggest issues was the ugly main menu left over from the original release of the game. We've recreated pretty much everything at this point. We still have a number of improvements planned for the next update but this one is meant to be stable, and full of beautiful new artwork.
Some of the most notable changes include the new loading screen and main menu. We've got a new leaderboard, quest menu, quick menu, build menu, govern menu... Yeah there's a lot of new stuff in this update. Hop aboard your ship and find out for yourself!
