In-game event18 Jan 2026Gyroscope Control UpdateThis update focuses on onboarding: a new in-game Help window and a fresh tutorial flow make it much easier to learn navigation and ship operations. Along the way we also added gyroscope control, navigation and docking polish, and input improvements so everything feels more reliable. Navigation Tutorial System A new tutorial guides you through the basics of navigation step by step, from understa…In-game event2 Jan 2026Navigation Plan UpdateThis iteration introduces the Navigation Plan system, enabling autonomous orbital maneuvers like docking, orbit changes, and interplanetary transfers. The crew now handles autopilot selection and maneuver planning autonomously. 🌌 The Navigation Plan System The navigation system has evolved significantly! We've introduced a comprehensive Navigation Plan system that enables your ships to perform…In-game event13 Oct 2025Supply Ship UpdateWe’ve completely overhauled the SupplyShip: handling is tighter, stages are fully integrated, and Crew Capsules now manage oxygen and food just like on the main ship. Low-altitude operations are more stable than ever thanks to the new Surface Mode, while the polished time and astronomical systems make every mission precise and reliable. The New Supply Ship The SupplyShip handling has been compl…
