You can now access internal dev builds via Steam BETA. See the DSS page for more info.

We’re still working through some issues detected during our pre-deployment smoke test. Since the next patch after this one is a major patch which focuses on the AI controlled defense systems, we want this public build to be as stable as possible, so that we don’t have to release another out-of-band update. Hopefully we can get this patch out early next week.

We’re gearing up for the first set of GEN 7 updates which include more bug fixes, lots of tweaks, cleanup etc and the groundwork for enabling the weapon systems on the carrier and stations.

The known issues page has been updated with recent bugs we’re tracking and the changelog has been updated with the latest items coming soon.

With the new character models already completed and in the previous updates, the weapons (we’re redoing all of them) updates are also in full swing; and will start being added to GEN 7 patches going forward. The M117 combat rifle is coming up next.

There is also a new dev blog in the works which gives more updates on the development, recent decisions made for the project etc. It will be out later this month.

It’s PUBLIC!

We have done some MAJOR changes to the networking kernel to make things better, smoother etc. There may be some additional tweaks needed as things move along.

We also fixed a slew of bugs, and made several tweaks.

This concludes our GEN6 builds.

We are now moving into our GEN7 builds starting with the next build. If minor patches are needed, we will push those out. Aside from that, the next major GEN7 build is scheduled for sometime in the Summer. The most major part of the first GEN7 build, is a major tweak to the fps mechanics so it feels better, less “floaty” etc.

Also, now that dev is winding down to the last mile, the final roadmap for the game will be posted in the coming weeks. This will help give an idea of what is coming up next, when we expect to do the first public release of the game etc

SUPPORT BULLETIN

If you haven’t read the latest support bulletin, please take a moment to read it because it includes some very important information related to Windows 10, optimizations etc.

I believe that this is the final version which, barring any major issues, will be the public build we release next week.

It has been awhile, but it is a major update that goes beyond what is visible in the changelog. We made some drastic improvements/revisions to the underlying networking kernel as you will see.

We’re now gearing up for GEN7. More on this next week after this final GEN6 build goes live.
