Hi All, Sorry for the barren week of updates and bug fixes, alas, I have been moving house and been otherwise occupied. In these latest updates, I've introduced some more CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete), which means:

You can now move stuff between inventories - particularly useful if you want to use your ship's inventory for storage whilst using another ship to jump to a different system
You can now delete stuff from inventories - no more pesky leftover resources or spare components or parts you've crafted, inventory deletion allows you to get rid of stuff
You can now destroy ships - This only works if you have more than one ship in a system (otherwise you would strand yourself) - note that by deleting a ship, you also delete the contents of it's inventory, any parts or equipment attached to it.

I plan to (at some point) provide a mechanism for resource recovery (e.g. I'm destroying this ship, and I got 200 copper back, 100 ore, and 20 crystal), but this will be part of a future update and may require you to - for example - visit a ship breaking yard to recover said resources. We've also done minor bug fixes and improvements - including a pesky bug where it was possible for two captains to get the same Captain's Code.

Between Two Stars is a 2D procedurally generated space exploration game. Players take control of a newly constructed Pytheas class starship, as part of a simulation on behalf of the Orpheus Corporation and explore the Sierra Galaxy via their ship's jump drive to discover new worlds and new materials with which to trade, craft and build bases.

Explore

The Sierra Galaxy consists of approximately 500 million star systems to explore, each with different configurations of raw materials to be harvested. The procedural generation means each star system consists of anywhere between one and a dozen planets, with their temperature, mass, atmospheric conditions all determined by their proximity to their star (or stars).

Harvest

Harvest planetary samples by building and deploying probes. Probes gather samples of the planet's raw materials. Every star system has a different makeup of minerals, gases and chemicals - each of which have different strengths and weaknesses, that affect their crafting quality. Some planets are capable of supporting life, allowing players to harvest not only inorganic materials but flora and fauna from the planet.

Craft

Craft better ship parts, such as engines, jump drives, power generators, and comms arrays - or use materials to build new bigger and better ships, or space stations. Need more resources? Build mining and harvesting platforms to harvest minerals in a system whilst you're offline or away exploring.

Trade & Socialise

Build space stations to control a system, and get a cut of the traffic and trade that flows through it. Build marketplaces on your station to allow players to trade the raw materials they find or the objects they craft with one another whilst taking a cut of the credits that change hands. Build better comms array for your ship so that you can receive messages from systems further away and cast a participate in a wider community.
