The Beta test is mostly completed. Thanks to all the testers who have submitted findings!
I will package the Early Access Version today and distribute it for Phase 1 to VIP Patrons. Here are the updated release dates:
The screenshot shows an item I had to create for item database consistency. In V0.5 it is only a "Vanity Item" (500,000 Cr) for your ship ;) as the Hyperjump and next star system will come in a later version.
Also a screenshot from the final combat screen (with lock on widget to track your selected foe and attack him with spacebar mashing...)
