Quick Update - January 2019
Hello all and welcome to 2019!
I've been busy working on the next big update for Fleet Star V - Steam Workshop integration!
Fleet Star V was designed so users could create their own ships and campaigns. The next step is to allow all players to share their creations on the Steam Workshop.
A lot of work has been completed, and there is yet more to be done before the next release.
Many thanks for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing your creations soon!

Update 1.1.1 Now Available!
Major
Can now repair ships manually, rather than waiting for ship to be repaired gradually at end of each turn. Be carful as this will use up double the material! Look for the [REPAIR] button on the ship report!
Minor
Settings file will now be automatically copied over to your 'C:\Users\USER\Documents\Fleet Star V' directory. This will be copied from the BaseSettings.xml file in the game directory.
Campaign screen - stops notification behind close report button from being clicked when closing report.
Tooltip writing colour modified from white to 'thistle'. This makes the tooltips easier to read against a backdrop of white text.

Steam Issue Resolved
Good news! Steam have fixed the issue with users being unable to add Fleet Star V (and many other games) to their carts.
Thank you for your patience!
Next Update - Tutorial
Hello everyone!
Thanks to everyone who has played Fleet Star V and taken the time to provide wonderful feedback!
One of the points raised was the lack of a tutorial to assist with the campaign map and battles. The next update (scheduled for later this week) will include a brand new tutorial section.
Thank you all for your continued interest in Fleet Star V. Your support is greatly appreciated!
Important! Steam Issue
Steam has an ongoing issue. Users are unable to purchase many games, including Fleet Star V.
Myself and other developers have raised this with Steam. We have not received any word on when this will be fixed.
I apologise to all those who want to buy the game but can't right now. This is as frustrating for you as it is for me!
I hope this will be fixed soon, and I will post another announcement when Steam have fixed the issue.
