We're still here. Working every day since our last development blog, the Iron Armada development team has been toiling away working towards the ultimate release of our game. This newly released version is the pre-release for our first non-early access release of the game. There will still be some bugs, and a chunk of more work to be done... but with your help, we are now nearing the first completed version of Iron Armada.
If you would like to read more, you can visit our website to read the full development blog.
What is included in this new version of the game?
Single-player missions and autonomous drones. Players can now construct and fight against autonomous drones in offline single-player modes. These drones also work in multiplayer matches, meaning that cooperative and PVPVE modes are also entirely possible.
Pressurization and airlock mechanics. Players now need to ensure that ships are airtight. Ships can be damaged and entire decks can be depressurized. Players can survive off of emergency oxygen reserves for limited amounts of time... but managing a ship's hull integrity is now of new importance.
Advanced logistics and docking mechanics. Players can now store resources in tanker ships, and transfer resources to other ships using docking bays. Docking bays can also be used to tow other ships, or even house fighters when the fighters are not being piloted.
Torpedoes and advanced weapon mechanics. Players can now construct torpedo bombers, and fire slow (but powerful) physics-driven rocket weaponry. Additionally new explosive, armor penetration, and weapon deviation mechanics will continue to make combat even more interesting.
Voice communications, squad mechanics, shipyards, and more. This update includes a significant number of additional features not listed here. To read more make sure to visit our website development blog!
Remember that this is the beta release for our upcoming full release of Iron Armada. Issues are still expected, and bug reports are much appreciated. However we hope that you will enjoy the new features that we have worked hard on, and once Iron Armada is fully completed... we hope you will appreciate the time we've put into building this game.
Hopefully I will see you on the battlefield again soon.

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to go over our development meeting schedule, that is completely open to the public, so you can stay up to date (and even have an influence on) our weekly development cycle!
Hello everyone! Today I wanted to do an exclusive development blog about pricing (and the future versions of Iron Armada) answering many questions the community has asked.
Keep in mind, before anything else, that Iron Armada is currently an early access game. I cannot stress enough... that if you do not enjoy Iron Armada in its current form, you are not obligated to purchase it what-so-ever. We totally support anyone watching and waiting, to wait until the game meets their expectations before they buy =)
However for our loyal early supporters: the people who truly believe in our game... and want to help us succeed, your purchase will go directly towards helping this game develop. Drakeling Labs never did any Kickstarter, or any other crowdfunding project for this title... because we believe in letting players choose to support a game, based off of its current build... not off of vague promises of a better game.
So with that said... please remember. If you would like to support development, you can purchase the currently available Pioneer's Edition of the game... and participate in our early alpha builds (and receive the full game at launch.) However if you would otherwise like to wait... until the game is further along in development, before you commit your money... then we entirely encourage you to do so!
With that out of the way, let's answer some questions =)
Hello everyone! We're constantly updating and building Iron Armada, and we like to incorporate our community into that process! Every few weeks we like to poll our players on what feature they would like to see next! In addition to our regular updates of fixes and upgrades of course =P
