0.9.7 is now live for anyone who has opted into the "beta" branch. This is an unstable release, with many new features and likely some new bugs as well. Major changes include:
- A new area, the Ember Waste, populated by a new faction and new space-dwelling creatures.
- A "logbook" with brief, automatic summaries of important missions you've completed.
- The "Outfits Expansion" reduces your ship's cooling if you install too many.
- Turrets have limited turn rates and can each choose and track targets independently.
- The game now moves at triple speed when caps lock is on (e.g. to speed up travel).
- Pirate "raids" now depend on how well defended your fleet is, not how many freighters you have.
There are many other changes, as well. For a complete list, see the
