Pixel

Pixel been adding new holoprojectors and ships! Here’s a Sneak peek!
Rainbow Hotrod balls!
He has also been working with Blue Dwarf to finally get those holoprojector super items back into holoprojector form, so when the next update rolls out expect your super item holoprojectors to be converted into holoprojectors!

MaxWhynd

MaxWhynd has joined us to provide us with some very cool sounds. He’s being working on getting us lots of cool new combat engagement sounds, as well as a few other new sound effects for us.

Auxilium

Auxilium has mostly been working on tweaking the missiles. He’s given the Lancer missiles their old launch ranges back, gave Flare missiles 10 second flares up from 5 seconds as well as the new launch mechanic, and he has improved the way missiles launch to begin with, so there shouldn’t be anywhere near as many cases of missiles missing their target.

He’s also given Junkyard Hydroponics and Extensors a sticky tag, which means you can move them out of a base but you cannot unequip them once you equip them. Hopefully this will prevent anyone from accidentally throwing their entire stack of Hydros or Extensors into one base and crying themselves to sleep.

MicroCapacitor

Through Earthforce’s analysis, statistics show that pirate activity has not been going down at all! Earthforce has lost many units fighting this ongoing battle with many different pirate factions. The scientists at Earthforce Headquarters have been working on a new type of Enforcer that will help put this outlaw scum where it belongs! The Marshal Blueprint will be available in the base on Mars in Sol, Earthforce Headquarters!

Earthforce Overload Prototype
Blue photon has been building Capital ships for a long time. The Earthforce Capital ship line for Earthforce has proven to be very popular. Little did people know there was another ship that Blue Photon wanted Earthforce to produce which has an intimidating inbuilt mining laser! The Earthforce Overload Prototype Blueprint will be available in Beta Antares!

Cherub
Absolution has been a place of exile for many years. A lot of ideas that Bellarmine had were cluttered about after he was sent to hell. A prototype Light Fighter ship was found, which is normally not used by the Absolution. This ship will allow them to pursuit to harm those who injure their space religion more effectively! The Cherub Blueprint will be available in Absolution!

Col Legno

Col Legno is back with us for a bit and will be poking a few bugs out of existance!

Morat

Morat fixed bugs, and is working on other bugs & quality of life improvements adding extraction rates to extractor descriptions.

Jeff

Jeff has posted his design idea for a new battleground-arena area in the Development Notes forum, you can read that here

Ryan

Ryan has been working on a new interface for Space Point purchases, so that they will be available from anywhere instead of specific ai bases. He has also changed account slots to be a flat amount of 150 per account instead of the current scaling system. He also had a lot of progress communicating with Valve for Steam, and a lot of progress was made towards that.
