I've put up a beta that adds a number of new modules and re-balances others. You can try it out by right-clicking on the game in your Steam library, choosing "Properties", then going into the "Betas" tab and picking "Beta" from the drop-down. Let me know what you think of the new modules and changes - do they make the game more interesting? Are they well-balanced?

New Modules

Ballista
Front Turret and Back Turret
Sponson
Aerial Charge
Torpedo Bomber

Balance Changes

Planes have more damage and HP
Aerial dragoons are faster
Gatling guns require more crew and are less accurate
Heavy turrets are better
Bombs are less accurate
Lift curve has changed - harder to make high service ceilings, easier to make very low ones

Notes

The sponson and torpedo bomber modules will get their own techs. None of the stats on the new modules are final. Oh, and one last thing - there's now a "no command cooldown" option, available in single-player and multiplayer, combat and conquest. For all your high APM micro needs.

Design steampunk pixel airships out of functional modules and conquer the skies!

In the game, ships are viewed side-on, and their modules are operated by individual crew members. During combat, players give high-level commands to a small fleet, positioning their ships, ramming and boarding others. Ships and terrain are fully destructible: they can catch fire, explode, break apart, and fall. Players can also compete against one another in Internet and LAN matches.

The ships are highly detailed, teeming with sailors moving around at their individual tasks, like an ant farm or a cut-away drawing. The player's choices in ship layout are crucial, and an important part of the game is exploring the design space of different airships and their matching tactics.
