Ceres (tuxdb.com)

Here is the latest patch for Ceres. Lots of updated. The biggest is probably the formation changes. It's still a bit of a work in progress. But the ships, when grouped, will select a designated leader and try to stick to him in their assigned formations. Only the leader will receive the player move order. All others in group will try to move to their formation point in relation to the leader. Swiftly changing directions for the formation can lead to some collisions, so be careful. The ships will weave and bob a bit when trying to maintain formation. Patch notes.

Updated : Crew after capture increased from 3 to 5. Should make captured ships easier to control after capture.
Updated : During precision move, ships and other objects will show height line to move plane.
Updated : Formation movement. Still a bit buggy, but better.
Updated : Ship A.I: Plasma weapons, attack range updated.
Updated : Cetus carcass in Khaos cloud is now indestructible.
Updated : Barca Class Cruiser weapon slots updated.
Updated : Barca Class Cruiser salvage internal modules updated.
Updated : Command module II duplication corrected. Fixed : Selected language being switched to English when entering Venus area.
Fixed : Hydra Battleship Class Executioner cannot be captured. Makes the game too easy.
Fixed : Crew number is now properly calculated when replacing a bridge.
Fixed : Construction exploit fixed.
Fixed : Recon drone addition / removal fixed.
Fixed : Tsesarevich class A.I corrected.
Fixed : Plasma damage now correctly registered to the source.
Fixed : Sarpere class ships can now be sold.
Fixed : Formation disappearing on load. The game will now reset the formations.
Fixed : Energy calculation corrected for energy systems while damaged.
Fixed : Mission Sleeping Beauty; Cruiser respawn fixed.
Fixed : Mission Slumbering Beast; Cruiser Capture will not result in faulty save game.
Fixed : Turrets now retain their assigned color when loading.
Fixed : Armor percentage drop when loading or entering a new area.
Fixed : Mission status saving issue.

As for the Linux uses, I've added two separate versions for both 64 and 32 bit executable. Hopefully this will fix the game issues. I hope these fixes will make playing Ceres a smoother, enjoyable experience. :)

The solar system is ravaged. The Earth is gone, shattered to pieces. Nothing remains but a huge ring of rocky debris. Nobody knows why the Gate malfunctioned. It was built to connect our world to other stars, but only a handful of colony ships were sent away before disaster struck. The Gate is believed to have unexpectedly connected to the wrong star -one just going nova. Torrents of gravitational waves flooded our solar system and the Earth was immediately obliterated. The Gate then started connecting to random stars, spewing ashes from dying worlds, radiation from younger suns or even drawing in alien lifeforms. The solar system began to change.

Humans and their machines live on: pockets of civilization have gathered into warring factions. Many adventurers roam the cold wastes in their spaceships, defying death and perils unknown -there are countless tales of monstrous machines and alien creatures preying on hapless ships. Real menaces or mere fantasies ? Who can now part the myth from the ever-changing reality ?

In a world where humans, monsters and machine-gods fight for survival, something will eventually have to give. You play the role of a young adventurer, who just got his hands on his first spaceship, and is determined to make a name for himself. A routine scouting mission turns out to be something much greater when you encounter an A.I. called Ceres.
