Hey Everyone,

It's been a while since our last update so we thought it about time to let you know what we are currently working on!

Some of you have already seen the screenshot of the promised turret building mode on twitter. For all who missed it, here is another peek at it :)




While the update is coming along nicely, there is still some polishing left to do and we've been working on bugfixes for 0.17 as well, since we released our crash reporter on the beta branch.

Next we'll tackle coaxial weapons which you'll also be able to design yourself, using the turret building mode. Additionally, there are going to be a few changes to the ship building mode: Starting with the Combat Update II you can optionally pause the game when you're building in single player so you can focus on your designs without interruptions from pirate attacks.

Besides these features, you can also look forward to a rework of collision damage, that will make it feel more natural.



Until then, have fun!
