Version 0.1.1709.13 - Steam Workshop integration for ship designs

This update brings easy sharing of ship designs through the Steam Workshop and some related smaller changes. The workshop integration took significant amount of work, but it should now work pretty well.


  • Ship blueprints can now be downloaded from Steam Workshop using the common item subscription system. Game restart is not needed to add subscriptions.
  • Player-made ship blueprints can now be published to Steam Workshop from the ship blueprint browser in Fleet & Ship Editor screen.
  • Added function to delete blueprints from the the ship blueprint browser in Fleet & Ship Editor screen.
  • Added option to exclude a blueprint from auto-generated fleets. It is accessible in the "save as" dialog for blueprints. You need to resave your existing ship designs to include them in generated fleets.
  • Ship blueprint browser in Fleet & Ship Editor screen now automatically refreshes when a blueprint is saved.
  • Added icons to ship blueprint browser that indicate if the blueprint is player-made or downloaded from Steam Workshop.
  • Some other small fixes.

Version 0.1.1708.26 - Quality of life improvements

This patch brings few smaller features and improvements based on player feedback.

  • Implemented selection groups feature for battles. Select units and press ctrl + number key 1-0 to set group. Then press the number key to select ships in that group.
  • Changed camera panning keys to be WASD by default. The new default is not applied automatically. You need to rebind or delete bindings from you settings file.

  • Added a camera panning speed setting to settings screen.
  • Replaced "Version" column in ship blueprint browser wtih "Author" column to make finding your own designs easier.
  • Added game version display to main menu.

Influence development at the community discussion forum

I have now opened a new discussion forum in the community hub called "Development polls for game owners" where I will host polls and discussion about feature prioritization. Only game owners can see this sub-forum.

The first topic for discussion and voting is "Release cycle / frequency".
