Alpha 6.0b Preview Updated On Unstable Branch

Alpha 6 is very close now, with more finalized testing being completed which means more features in terms of the power armor being enabled. You can now scramble fighters in this update as well as order them to dock back with the ship. The launch and dock graphics are not completed but the functionality is mostly there. The combat aspects and bonuses are still disabled while testing is completed.

As soon as Alpha 6 is released all current save files will be invalidated. Many attempts were made to stop this from occurring however a major issue with saves has been tracked down. In order to address the issue the structure of the save needs to be fixed which was resulting in issues primarily regarding crew members interacting with the various items on the ship.

If you want to assist with the game and ensure future updates continue make sure to review the game provide feedback in the forums and let me know of any issues!
