Update 1.1 is finally here, featuring the Minotaur Bomber as a new unlockable ship, as well as another secret ship that could be incredibly useful if the President of Space's daughter needs rescuing... It would take an incredibly skilled half-man, half-dog to be able to find it though. There are a few new weapons:

• The Railgun needs to be charged before firing, but when fully charged it can deal massive damage and penetrate multiple targets in a line.
• The Heavy Machine Gun provides a massive amount of firepower and uses almost zero energy, however it runs through ammo quickly and has extremely short range.
• The Phase Bolt Cannon slowly fires long-ranged bolts that will persist after the initial impact and potentially hit additional targets.

There is also one new and one re-worked weapon mod:

• The Auto-Targeting upgrade allows homing weapons to automatically acquire targets without need for a lock, and can even allow them to switch targets if the initial target is destroyed before impact.
• Quantum Packing is now Quantum Phase Packing, and it allows projectiles to penetrate and impact multiple times.

And some more general updates including:

• The Compendium has been updated to feature explanations of all the weapon stat icons.
• The background grid now properly fades out at the end of a level.
• Fixed an issue where all the previous level's elite ships were replaced with the current level's elite ships.
• Performance improvements.
• There have also been some changes to fonts, and to weapon balance.

I hope everyone enjoys all the new toys! There were still a few things I wanted to include in this update such as a photo mode, but that isn't quite ready still so it will have to wait for a future update. And please, if you know anyone you think might enjoy this game, let them know about it! If the game gets 10 reviews from people who purchased the game then Steam will start to recommend it to other people. If you purchased the game and haven't left a review, it would be a massive help if you considered doing so! Best wishes to all of you, and I will see you soon IN SPACE! -Scott
