More massive changes under the hood, the game looks more vibrant as a result
We learnt a few lessons in the transition to 5.1. To address issues with the Linux build we needed to upgrade the core game engine to Unity 5.4.2 - this sadly broke a lot of the shaders and it took over a week to tweak and adjust, and get things back on track.
During that time, Update 5 had introduced some issues but by that point we were too busy with the upgrade to issue hotfixes. In future we're going to do more in-house testing before updates are released slowing things down a little but we'll also put online a 'bleeding edge' BETA branch for those happier to dive into the unknown.
As a result of the Unity upgrade there's another host of performance improvements, particularly on lower spec hardware and we've used the opportunity to brighten the game and give it more contrast so details such as hull customisation aren't lost to overpowering colour grading and darkness.
We've also fixed the bugs reported in Update 5.
As you can likely see, we're not quite done with that yet and will likely spend the next few days tweaking the visuals and bug hunting before continuing to add new features.
Cheers especially for your patience and for all the support and feedback!

[ 2016-11-12 11:03:44 CET ] [ Original post ] What you will be getting
Construct your fleet ship-by-ship by foraging in dangerous asteroid clusters and nebulas for resources and completing quests. Build up your modular base to include all the things a fleet commander needs; refineries, factories, power stations, shipyards and trade docks. Evolve your ship Captains careers, customize your ships using loot savaged from wreckages, become embroiled in action spanning huge playable areas and work across multiple planetary systems to bring order to Shallow Space.
An innovative ‘zone’ system lies at the heart of what we’ve dubbed the ‘Open-world Overhaul’ and through it NPC traffic will trade, mine and fight just as you do.
Pick-up missions to receive rewards in the form of ships modules and blueprints and construct defences, or go at it you own way by mining and trading. You’ll manage forces across multiple play areas all running realtime in a universe teaming with life.
Additional Key Features:
- Procedurally generated zones, loot and quests
- Emergent gameplay
- Ship movements using NVIDIA PhysX engine
- Enhanced abilities system
- Directional shields and subsystem targeting
- Flexible unit groupings
