Finally, improved missiles?! Patch Notes: 2.4.3 Release (20240517)
Overview - fixed some issues
- Fixed - Rebuilt executable which appears to solve Vomitoria occasionally disappearing after spawning in on the 2nd tutorial mission. Added logging in case this still happens. For any incidents, please send me the player.log on Discord. You'll also notice the missile lock periodically relocking, every 30 seconds, which is just the scripting reloading your missile ammo during tutorials only.
- Fixed - Null reference error, when loading a mission file with any actions containing a group selection, in the Level Editor
- Amend - All seeking missiles have better turning behavior but can still miss targets (like small stationary ones)
- Amend - Heatseeker missile no longer used in default load-outs for player campaign faction due to its seeking requirement making it situational at best

A-Spec First Assault launches into Early Access on Steam
Releasing into Early Access, A-Spec First Assault adds a mini prologue campaign designed to introduce new players to concepts and features over 7 missions.
Completing the prologue opens the campaign preview with 3 main and 5 side missions. These are the same missions made available in the demo.
The skirmish gameplay mode provides quick access into combat with abilities to change the loadout and number of ships on a 1 v 1 team singleplayer with AI teammates.
A-Spec First Assault offers a wide range of customization options for each ship. Equip your vessel with an array of primary projectile guns and secondary missile launchers, bolstering your frontal assault. Alternatively, opt for turreted guns that provide wider firing arcs, or adopt a balanced approach with a combination of both. Remember, bigger ships deliver greater firepower and make bigger targets.
Augment your ship's performance with support modules, bolstering its core systems. Enhance agility, top speed, armor, hull strength, fire rate, firepower, and more, tailoring your vessel to your play style.
Buy now on Steam.

Save 50% off Absolute Territory
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays or a good day to you. To celebrate this Christian festive season Absolute Territory is at a historic low price with 50% off.
A few sceptics believe Absolute Territory to be a run-of-the-mill arcade game (point to where you want to go) due to the help of the flight assist computer that is used to correct trajectories. Well, now you can turn it off, removing all velocity limits, and fling yourself off into the deep deep cold of space.
For greater control (and now adding true 6 axis of freedom) a toggle for the throttle to slip it into reverse has been added.
The new controls (Toggle flight computer, and reverse thrust) are not bound, as whenever I release an update with new default controls it breaks players existing control bindings. With that said, if you find you controls are now working, reset your bindings from within the Controllers and Key Bindings menu.
