A much-requested feature, Steam Workshop support is now live: http://steamcommunity.com/app/326410/workshop/
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=545193570
Create mods that change everything about the game -- from adding new quests, ships and skills to changing existing ones... and then put them up on Steam Workshop, sharing it with others -- it's as simple as typing /uploadSteam <Mod Name> in chat!

As usual, for a more detailed explanation and full list of patch notes, check the writeup on google docs. I will be answering questions regarding modding, how to do this and that, and will create a better guide for it all in the coming weeks based on your questions (if someone doesn't beat me to it, of course!)
If there's enough interest I may even do a live stream where viewers can ask questions regarding how to do something, and I'd explain, show, or possibly even code it right then and there.
But, until then -- happy Halloween, and happy modding!
