Early Access Build 805 Now Live on Fasttrack

Our latest FastTrack update came up at the end of last week. We've made big improvement to how commodity trading is done, much easier to meet Energy demands. Maybe it's too easy now. We've also done a major rebalancing of early game space units. Also added a new facility to help defend your homeworld from pirates in the early game.

We've also done a developer live stream to talk about these recent changes.
