I think this will be the last version for a while, while I work on the sequel to incorporate big improvements. I know exactly what to do for it so it should be ready early next year, price has not yet been determined. If you have a suggested price, please tell me. There will be more missions released eventually, just not yet.
Thank you to everyone who helped improve the game, and to everyone who enjoyed it.
SBMS v1.19b8 Released
Version v1.19b8 has been released. Patch highlights are:
Navigation Room now has more data on locations
Moved the visuals for intercepting enemy transmissions in-mission up so it wouldn't overlap with older messages
Mission Briefing room looks nicer and can use spacebar and enter to skip messages
Aquila and Reaper tech, and an Aquila unit are now offered as mission rewards
Fixed Alliance Hoverplanes Tech now giving the player access to building more of them
Missile Turrets now only fire one missile when ordered to attack and have an ability to switch to continuous mode
Added Disruotion Field heavy missile to the ship optional heavy missiles list, so you can build them as an extra ability for Praetors
I'm debating having the next patch be the last one, and having all new additions (unless theres something this version clearly needs) into a heavily updated new version of the game that I hope to price at 5 USD and regional equivalents. If I haven't addressed an issue that you think is necessary or even just would be very nice to have, please tell me in the game's Steam forums so I can add it ino the next patch before working on the paid version of the game. This free version will always remain free and will get new content, but, I feel there are some major changes that would better go into a new game.
Thank you to everyone who's helped improve the game, but more importantly to everyone who's enjoyed it.
SBMS v1.19b7 Released
Version v1.19b7 has been released. Patch highlights are:
Mission Menu now uses the player's selected menu colour
Remote Missile Silo now has proper tooltips for each of its missile weapons
Units with non-standard weapon types now have a button image
E-mail text now takes up more space to fit it all in, scrollbar fits properly inside its bar and you can use the mousewheel now, e-mails have tooltips, fixed internal e-mail read status not being saved
Fixed Missile Target Acquisition tech crashing the game, updated description
Added Disruption Field missile to the Remote Missile Silo
As a final note, saving internal e-mails might mess with your save files. If you have any issues, you can edit them yourselves, and please tell me if anything does go wrong.
SBMS v1.19b6 Released
Version v1.19b6 has been released. Patch highlights are:
The game now starts in borderless windowed fullscreen mode. This should fix the black screen issue for Windows 10 users. Again, please don't post negative reviews based on a bug unless you plan to change it once the bug is fixed. If you have Windows 10, please do not use true fullscreen mode.

Added aircraft abilities in the Aircraft section of the Library.
Version v1.19b5 has been released. Patch highlights are:
Potential black screen bug fixed for certain graphics cards on Windows 10 users. Please send feedback if it has not been fixed. As a side note, please don't post negative reviews based on a temporary bug unless you plan to change the review once it is fixed.
Speed ability finished for Mainbase.
Dragboxing selects enemy units properly so their stats are shown.

Fixed game file showing 0 mb to download. Sorry for the inconvenience, but you can go play it now!
Game file at 0 mb.
[Edit: Maybe fixed, please confirm for me if you try to download it]
Apparently for everyone except myself and Steam the game downloads 0 mb and cannot be played. I'm looking into this, if you have this issue, please contact me at slizergames@outlook.com, at http://slizerbms.wordpress.com, or through Steam. Please include your operating system and computer specifications if you can. If you are comfortable with it, please also indicate your country or region. Sorry for the issue.
