Making some good progress on adding some trader variety (will update work in progress shortly), but have noticed a couple bugs that cause game crashes whilst working on this. We don't want that, so little update with those fixes!

• Fix: Trader no longer used landing ramp animation, when docking at an airlock.
• Fix: Repairing ship, might not have correct type on selection, giving wrong type to cost calculation.
• Fix: Structure update on delete, may not have type after instance deletion.

"Welcome commander to your first non simulated mission. You are in control of our mining startup station, which has just reached our licensed territory in this sector. Mission begins now."

Deep Space Outpost is a sci-fi base builder with resource gathering and base management. Create your space station, mine asteroids for resources and make your mission a success.

Features:-

• Build your own space station tile by tile. Start with a small startup craft and expand to achieve your mission.
  
• Current game modes:- sandbox, several scenarios and station builder.
  
• Gather resources by mining asteroids or capturing passing meteoroids/scrap. Refine into building materials, water, fuel and oxygen.
  
• Manage your power production and usage. Watch out for solar storms and electrical damage.
  
• Build defense turrets to protect your station from space threats such as pirates and meteoroids.
  
• Trade resources by bartering with passing trader ships.
  
• Job management - Prioritize worker droids to repair, build, transport or deal with emergencies.

We want to expand this list greatly, take a look at the Early Access section for details of our roadmap and Steam discussions to see what we're currently working on.
