Hi everybody, The fabled 4.8 update which has been in beta for a while has not made it into the production track - which means that it's coming your way too, yay! Now sadly, this will not be able to load saves from your 4.7 based games :( BUT - the good news is that all galaxies in 4.8 (and onward) should be loadable in all future versions of the game! Unless I go totally crazy and turn it into a Pokemon-themed anime FPS game, you never know. Here's the changelog yet again, you may have seen it before: * Added a couple more ships * Sleeper Service to bring back long gone empires * Retro arcade style monsters / empires * Added blacklist to forbid or allow certain ships and artifacts * Tilted empire names option * A bunch of bugs fixed I am certainly already working on 4.9, which promises to include things like a Culture system, the ability to create custom maps from a single image file (those NASA images turn into gorgeous galaxies), a big ol' Dreadnaught, more ways that Morons can screw up - e.g. by getting their artifacts to malfunction in creative ways, an option to block empires spawning from neutral, and many more. Even some performance improvements! Join the Discord to get more updates. https://discord.gg/XVumtY7
