Everything shipped since v2.0.9 — a launch-month cleanup rolled into one release.
Out of beta
The beta labels are gone, the app store link points where it should, and the game now has a proper credits screen. Thanks for flying with us this far.
Combat & mines
- Minefields now name the captain who laid them — in the moment, and in the feed.
- Mine strikes are reported as attacks, not bad weather.
- Escape pods work the way you’d expect: a pod is a respawn, defending yourself earns the protection it should, and post-battle immunity actually covers everything it claims to.
- A rare double-report on NPC kills and a bounty-payout accounting bug are fixed.
Ports & trading
- The Port and Starport screens are now one Station Directory — one dock, one door.
- Bounty offices live at the faction capitals, where they belong.
- Per-transaction purchase caps are gone.
- Planet trading posts got a real storefront, and your cargo’s cost basis follows it properly through storage and sales.
Quality of life
- Victims of an attack are told about it.
- Filter chips wrap instead of scrolling.
- Sector headcounts count the captains you can actually see.
- Admin announcements can now reach you in-game as a toast.
Seasons ahead
Groundwork shipped for seasons of any length — sprints to marathons — each tuned so progression fits its span. Current galaxies are unchanged; you’ll see this in action when the next season begins.
Under the hood
Platform hardening, deployment security, real production monitoring, and config safety rails in the admin console. Less visible, more reliable.
