Also, there's a feature priority poll on the website. If you've played the game, vote on what you'd like me to prioritize in the next updates.
Save games are not compatible with content updates, but if you were in the middle of a game, don't panic. Your save game is still there and can be accessed by rolling back your client. The version you probably want is Beta 0.12 Stable. See here for instructions.
As always, if you encounter any bugs or have any questions or suggestions, submit them via F8, post in the discussion forum or join the game's Discord.
Thanks for playing Starcom: Nexus!
