Next patch
« on: December 15, 2018, 05:04:34 AM »

I saw that changes to colonies are coming. Will that be a small balance patch? Or a large patch with more content?

if history teaches us anything, its to not expect a patch for nearly a year. at least not in the sense of what a "patch" is for this game. something that ends up adding a TON of content. as well as bug fixes and all the other trimmings that come with normal patches.

You won't be able to refit fighters and bombers at all. They're designed/balanced around having a particular set of weapons and would be very broken if you could change it. Which ones you pick for your fleet -out of quite a few that are available- is the choice here, not how they're outfitted.

I'd say 0.9.1a will come pretty soon-ish, somewhere in early 2019, but that's just gonna be mostly balance and bug fixing with maaaaybe something new. And then 1.0 whenever it's ready with general polish, end game content and other things Alex had planned.

Yep, that seems about right.

That doesn't look possible, unfortunately. Lots of stuff to do and I'm also needing to spend some time dealing with hardware/PC things.

Nexerelin mod pretty much solves most of your desires. It will likely be out by the end of January,
