The patch todays main feature is a new gamemode called skirmish, this plays out much more like a standard turned based strategy game level where there are a set amount of enemies in a room and you have to kill them all to get out. These levels can currently spawn on most any planet or ship that generates and should be relatively easy to find though they are a bit rarer than the normal exploration missions types.

Very happy to hear feedback about difficulty though.

Various mostly MP related bugs were fixed in this patch as well, there is still a bug I'm looking to hotfix where if you click single player before hosting a multiplayer match you wont be able to launch a MP game until you restart the game. This will be fixed by tomorrow or Sunday at the latest. As for the future, I intend to have a patch out either late Dec or early Jan with another new tileset out as its been awhile since the snow level and some more variety is always nice. Right now Im intending to be an Ophioc focused map with a 3 new ophioc units that only (for now at least) spawn specifically on the new tileset. Once that is out I plan to spend about month on a wave defense mode in order to help people farm ore faster, I know this was promised earlier but I seem to keep putting it on the back burner. Once again thank you all for playing, report any bugs either on discord or in the steam discussion section. If I dont respond fast enough feel free to DM/ping me on discord.
