Hello Everyone,

I wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that we are releasing tonight another improvement patch on the game. I'll let you check the release notes for more details.

Some of the biggest issues that we addressed:

  • AI scout fleets and other weird fleet compositions
  • Both Fighters and Bombers should be more deadly
  • Reworked some Strategic Resource requirements
  • Fixed the infamous MAC crash during retreat
  • And many many other fixes and improvements!


Of course this is only a beginning, there are many things we still are working on as we discussed earlier like:
  • The ship design interface
  • AMAS, our AI and its way to explain why it does something
  • We are working also on some performance improvements. We are already did some great stuff there, we are still checking the consequences on the game's stability.
  • And we are trying the game on all the mac we can get a hold off to reproduce some of you being unable to start the game in some mac systems...


A big thanks for all of you, for your feedbacks and helping improving the game everyday.

cheers!
