I'm excited to share version 0.8.6-beta, which incorporates feedback from the public play-test over the last two weeks. It includes:
Pirates! "The only way to stop them for good is to find and destroy their bases" (and get the booty).
More and better ancestral virtues, such as Cryo-tunneling: "Colonize frozen planets without a colony ship".
Planet resources degrade if you over-exploit them: diversify your production for long-term sustainability.
See the changelog for a full list.
