Astrela Starlight - Year One
Astrela Starlight is one year old! It has been a long year, with many changes and additions every week. The first three chapters of the game are fully playable, with the fourth well on the way. Many unplanned additions based on player feedback, especially the combat trials that are separate from the main game.

This week's release contains some changes in preparation for chapter 4. Other than a few new locked jump gates it is a fairly minor update.

Thank you to all of our early adopters out there, look for more updates!

Reengineering - Update
The Engineering control panel has been completely rebuilt. The power flow system has been merged into the Engineering panel giving the player a complete view of ship's systems and where power is going.

Also this week, two more combat trials, now allowing the player to get the Cetus level five ship, the Tempas. Several other bug fixes.

Chapter 3 - Avar Space
Chapter 3 is here! The entire Avar campaign is now playable. If you previously completed the Saurum campaign, just go back to Sloar and continue on from there. The Avar campaign adds much more depth to the story, and also give the player the ability to build planets and other celestials.

Also this week, a single system was added for combat trials. Some retrofitting was done on the previously released systems.
