Hi,
We have gathered information, read reviews and listened to the community's wishes. Therefor we have decided that we will in upcoming patches add, in the following order:
Target Practice (Singleplayer Experience)
Dedicated Servers
Host Migration (Servers won't die when the host leaves)
Our ETA on Target Practice would as of now be live by the end of the month (August). We will simultaneously work on Dedicated Servers and Host Migration, however as Target Practice is of higher priority we can currently give no ETA on these two.
Please feel free to give us more feedback and more suggestions of what you would like to see in Orbital Gear in the future to maximize your experience.
We're always here, we're always lurking.
Best Regards.
