Release Candidate 1.0.3, currently available as an opt-in Beta, will be promoted to the default branch next week. This version fixes a number of bugs, adds some minor quality of life improvements, adds several new anomalies and missions and provides a bit more direction for the player during the mid to late game.
It does not mean the end of development, but it does mean barring any unforeseen issues that the game should graduate from Early Access into general release before the end of the year, as promised. Expect an announcement of the exact date soon.
This is a save-incompatible release, but if you're in the middle of a game, don't worry-- as always you can continue playing by switching branches as described here.
You've finally made it out of the academy and have been given your first ship to command. Sure it's just a light shuttle, but you've got to start somewhere, right? Suddenly "somewhere" is stranded in an unknown galaxy surrounded by hostile aliens and no way home.
Explore the beautiful and mysterious open-world of Starcom: Nexus. It's a universe where you'll battle or befriend strange alien races, discover ancient artifacts, research powerful technologies and build your ultimate starship.
