Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
Wyvern is 100% correct about the math.
ETA for Imperium, SWP, and Underworld: two-ish weeks. That’s all I can promise, folks. The upside is the update will be “complete”, as in the mods will have proper integration into the new systems, rather than being a barebones update that doesn’t use any 0.95 features or take the 0.95 changes into account.
Given how long DR says it's been since he had good sleep, you're lucky he hasn't keeled over stone dead with no hope of an update ever.
