Greetings Star Commanders, This is a patch moving towards Alpha 8 addressing our major bugs. We have also switched to Unity5 so we will be looking for any unexpected issues from that. This would include assets not popping up in the right place, white boxes and pink boxes where the asset path has changed. We have gone through the game multiple times but we may have missed some. To get on the betatesting branch go to your library, right click on Star Command Galaxies, go to properties, click on the "Betas" tab and select the "betatesting" branch. The game will auto-update!
