Helium Rain patch released

Hi, We've just released a bugfixing update for Helium Rain. We're aware the game has a number of issues right now and are working hard to remove them as fast as possible. In particular, the end-game balance suffers right now, with very large number of ships and stations. Here is what has been fixed this week :

Fix water not in drop list in the trade route menu
Fix fleet selection in the sector menu
Fix joystick buttons unusable as bindings
Fix joystick bindings not saved
Fix horizontal hat of joystick ignored
Fix virtual scroll registering as a real key in settings menu
Fix docking guides disappearing
Fix spread between Solen and docks
Fix Orca cockpit cut at high FOV
Fix Atlas freighter having damaged cooling at full health
Fix French translation
Fix wrong tech for research stations in tutorial
Fix vertical artifacts in drop lists in the color panel
[tentative] Fix rare crash when selecting docking option

Additionally, we've made the sky slightly more interesting to look at, and added gamma and input sensitivity controls. You can read the full patch notes here. Thank you for reporting these issues ! We're doing our best to make the game as good as it can be.

Helium Rain is a single-player space simulation that places you at the helm of a spacefaring company. Exploration, trading, station-building, piracy are all options. You will need to master both real-time action and long-term strategy: destroying a freighter has a direct impact on the economy, while declaring war will make your spaceflight environment slightly more hostile...

12 playable ships with weapon and engine upgrades
Play fighters, bombers, cargos, corvettes or capital ships.
Realistic economy model
Take advantage of an accurate simulation of space trade to be the most competitive company. If diplomacy fails, blockades are in order.
Fast-paced combat with a Newtonian flight model
There is no speed limit in Helium Rain. You can fly at half a mile a second while aiming backwards !
Localized damage model for spacecrafts
Aim for critical systems in order to disable ships, kill their crew or capture targets.
Procedural contracts, world exploration, technology upgrades
Pick contracts and build your empire.
