Alpha 13 is now available. This ALPHA sees the addition of Jump gates and Wormholes, regions you can now rarely find that allow for near instantaneous travel across vast distances between systems. Alongside the addition of these transit points we have added the ability for star systems to be thrown into conflict. System conflicts can be started with new "Chaos" missions allowing the player to start a war with another faction inside a system, once started the system will alter and "conflict" missions will be available. Once enough conflict missions for either side have been completed the system will be handed over to the victor and regions will slowly be taken over. For a full list of all the additions and changes as well as how they all work please check out the forum post here forum post
