With the Travel Menu, you can now refuel, monitor Ore and Fuel capacity, review Squad Status (for the purpose of resolving issues such as needed repairs before battle), and view star information before travelling. You can also access the Mothership (AKA HQ) from the Travel Menu as well.\n

Fixed a bug causing the Automaton magnet ability to stop working.

Hi all,

First update in a while.

Over the past two days I upgraded some visuals and fixed a bug causing Warpkin dodge to stop working.

Asteroids now have rounded textures instead of blocky ones.

Also, the backgrounds for the mothership interior and hangar have been switched out for some better looking ones.

Lastly, a texture bug causing several bold lines to appear on the background while invading space stations has been fixed.

Fixed a bug causing projectiles to come out but not move.

Fixed a glitch causing an extra star to appear at the bottom of the screen and remain there throughout the duration of a battle.

Co-op seemed to be completely broken.
Now, it isn't.

Fixed a bug which caused swapping ships to repair destroyed ships.

Fixed copilot able to move while game is paused bug

Local Co-Op has been added to the game.

Go on a galactic adventure with up to two other players.

Customize your ships with thousands of different skins and millions of different ship and weapon combinations.

Nobody to play with? No problem. Copilots will automatically default to AI control if they aren't being controlled by another player.

Fly with stakes - if your co-op partner gets downed, you will have to repair their ship or switch it for a working one in order for them to fly with you again.

Multiple ships per battle means multiple lives. This means improved difficulty with multiple ships at hand. Fly with copilots who can help you beat levels faster and surpass high scores easier. If the squad leader's ship is destroyed, don't fret; if you have copilots remaining, this doesn't mean a 'Game Over' anymore. Keep going until everyone's ship is destroyed.

Improved Performance - scripting optimizations have improved framerates across the board. Play this game with high frame rates on any potato.

Experimental online cooperative play is being added as well, via Steam Remote Play.
