IFed is dated, it feels dated, and despite doing some work on it recently, I have no plans to maintain it, nor release a major update anytime soon. Until Starsector gains some depth where I feel it's less space fleet simulator and more sandbox RPG, IFed is gonna sit on the bench. I've lost interest in the game itself--there just isn't that much gameplay content; buy ships, buy weapons, find enemy, fight in arena, repeat.
I want deeper politics, meaningful trade, regions of space, a variety of mission types, exploration, faction campaigns w/ storylines, and more. It could take years at the current rate of development. In the mean time, it's ok to let IFed fade into obscurity--at the very least, please don't hold your breath. You'll be dead long before an update comes.
If and when I release something, it's going to be a ground-up rebuild; an entirely new IFed.
