EA Update v0.3.0.30 Released


We now have the new docking connector structure to help you build your station. This is a cheaper wall like item, that you can use to expand the outside of your station. You can attach turrets, solar connector and walls to it. But the main use will be for ships to dock at and use you facilities (repair bay next up).

Also note have split off a couple of productions items into new services category.

Full changes:-

  • New docking connector structure. Help updated.
  • Life support and droid maintenance moved to new Services build menu.
  • New docking overlay added.
  • Fix: Main menu scenario message missing.
  • Fix: HUD alignment in builder mode.
  • Fix: Load game, button wasn't been reset on select.

EA Update v0.3.0.24 Released


Just a quick hotfix for save game issue. I've obviously got my save slots full and overwrite worked, but not a save in to an empty slot. Doh!

Sorry about that peops ːsteamfacepalmː

EA Update v0.3.0.23 Released


UI update for the title & pause screens. Should hopefully be a lot clearer, with less chance of confusing players. As previously mentioned, I should be able to add more options easier now (i've started a discussion on that). That's just about it with this update. More actual gameplay additions next up!

  • New title/pause menu UI.
  • Gameplay Options - Edge Screen Scroll.
  • Fix: Return from station builder, use of help then return to pause menu.
