Hello everyone! It has been a while since the last news post, so we thought it would be a good time for one. BETA 12 update is nearing completion, we have added five more multi step problems and several generalized one step problems, more than doubling the count. This should be a nice chunk of gameplay for players to sink their teeth into.

You must help deal with the aftermath and devise a way to repel it back into deep space. Another example brings about the introduction of Space Wasps. These vacuum born creatures are a constant pest to those who come into contact with them, and they are known to set up nests where civilization doesn't always want them to be.

Click to move while at warp is now a thing. Click somewhere and your ship will travel there. No more click to hold (though still possible) or having to fly with WASD.

Another one to do with AI controlled fleets freezing in place and no longer giving chase. Two significant, annoyingly-happened-enough-but-not-all-the-time bugs we were happy to identify, isolate, and fix due in part to players feedback and help. We are now in the final stretch to get the Pre-Release for BETA 12 completed and out the door. From there, the full BETA 12 release will be just around the corner. Keep your eyes peeled for this in next 2-3 weeks.
