Its been a bit of a hectic start over here, but we are overcoming the first hurdles of the steam release.

Bug Fixes:
• Fixed a major cause of progress loss.
• Improvements to server stability.

Quality of Life: We have made a number of changes this weekend, as I am sure most players have noticed.

Most noteably:
• Servers now have local chat-rooms, and wont be affected by global spam.
• Server list is now better sorted to find games easily.
• Moderation tools have been added to deal with problematic players.
• The first player to join a game becomes the 'host', and will control adding AIs and kicking players.

Balance Changes: Wave Gun (Push and Pull): 500 Range > 750 Range. Damage to 8. The wave gun was in a rather conservative place, due to a series of changes before release. These changes should put it in a better place, where it will be easier to dirupt enemy formations, chase down enemy ships, and counter enemy rushes using the weapon. Thanks to all players who stopped by and tried the game, and we are sorry for a bit of a rough start. More players showed up than we had planned for, the response so far has really been incredible.

In Istrolid you design your own unique spaceships from a large number of parts to fit your strategy and play style. With no set units or factions you are free to create a fleet where each ship has its own balanced strengths and weaknesses, from basic fighters and bombers to hulking battleships and speedy destroyers.

Challenge your strategies and stretch your creativity, perfecting your spaceships' designs before taking them onto the proving grounds of battle. Jump straight into tense fights for territorial control where you maneuver your ships to best use their energy, ranges, firing arcs, turn rates and firepower.

Conquer an entire galaxy in the single player campaign, where you collect the parts you need to build bigger and meaner ships. Use them to defeat increasingly tougher and more complex opponents. Test the strength of your designs in multiplayer combat, fighting solo or with allies. Face custom AIs with their own fleet lineups or even design your own AI that fights by your side.

Are you ready?
