Hi there!
We're back from our summer vacation and we started working on Alpha 10 this week. We'll be posting an update here in the near future of some of the stuff we have coming. It's still early days so cannot say much about a timeline. Looking at the history new Alpha version iterations have been around 6-8 weeks of development time. =)
Thank you, so glad you like the game and thanks for the great feedback! =)
Awesome, glad you like the game =) To whomever wants to write stories we would love to read them as well. Feel free to write stories here in this subreddit as much as you please!
Read moreI really like the addition of these space hazards, they add an interesting dimension to decision making. Do I focus on turrets for anti-pirate work, or shields and scanners to better survive solar flares and meteorites? Do I risk going into a nebula and meteorite combo system to mine a critical resource? How long do I want to risk staying in a solar flare system to grab resources from a derelict?
My first exposure to a solar flare system was rough. I destroyed a pirate ship and stuck around to capture the crew and loot the ship. I was about half way through looting when the first flare hit. It wasn't too bad so I continued looting as there was some good stuff over there. Got hit a second time and this time was bad. Finally got the ship patched up enough to leave and a third flare hit even worse than the second. Had to vent most of the ship to stop the fires and smoke. The crew had to work overtime to get the minimum repairs done as quick as possible so we could escape. I w...
Awesome, just the type of effect one would want to see from the new feature, affecting many areas of decision making and creating interesting choices regarding designing ships as well.
Great. Keep up good work.
Will do! =) Thank you.
Are the game saves compatible?
Should be, although there might be some small glitches. The assembler has changed in size to be a bit smaller and might cause a hull breach, but if you get it repaired it should be all good =)

You guys are doing a stellar job.
Many thanks! =)
Try rebooting the game and see if that fixes it!
Awesome, thanks for taking the time to write this! =)
This is why I'll keep reiterating that the hazards that cause fires will always be a bad idea. It may not have been meant as "punishment", but it sure feels like it.
In my humble point of view I see a problem to solve in a situation like this. Could someone die? Sure, they might, but by drafting and using only the most healthy and energy filled crew members could easily also lead to no deaths. Would someone dying be a big deal to me personally? Not necessarily, and perhaps that is also the part of where differences lie between players.
To me: I see a problem I can solve, using the tools in the game. The fire inside the console area can be put out by getting the crew members out of there immediately and closing all vents on the doors to the room, the fire can be contained, oxygen will run out and the fire will die on its own. The room is perfect for that =)
Will the room be filled with gas after this? Sure will. I would Put space suits on and crew members fixing/operating consoles and jump the hell out of there to lick my wounds in a more calm sector.
Shane, Ffion, Narci can be drafted and the storage fire put out. They a...
