ALPHA 11 Pre-Release 3 is now available. This release adds many more missions as well as improved rewards and some bug fixes.
NOTE: Due to fixes to mission save data, universes made in ALPHA 11 Pre-Release 1 will NOT load and will cause and error. Please make a new universe or try loading one from ALPHA 10 instead.
This is a pre-release build so all the usual things apply, it will have problems (some of which we know about) and it may break your universe.

Take the helm of a starship as you explore, blast or trade your way through the cosmos in a procedurally generated sandbox universe where every tile matters.
