Starfighter General
Refer Codes in!
So the codes aren't that long. Find it at your command center or triderium reactor. Click the gear icon in the lower left of the screen, aka settings to enter this code. You can only enter one referal code ever, but other promotional codes will go there later.
There are some bug fixes, and maybe some features I forgot to document. ;)
Enjoy.
Update delayed, but coming very soon
There was a bug that was weird and I didn't expect, but I'm gonna fix!
Then I add referal codes, and a couple other improvements.
Maybe get this out tonight or tomorow or next day.
I'm excited to make a MMO, so I'm hustlin some.
Server down for a few hours: Update imminent
The update will have some achievements and referral codes. When you refer someone with your code, you gain 200 triderium and they gain 40. Send codes out to your friends.
There are a moderate number of bug fixes in this one also. We're trucking to MMO version.
There will be 2-3 future updates then we're all in for MMO.
Next Update I want to add: Fleet management. So you can see/upgrade/choose to fly in/recycle ships/assign to squad/unassign from squad. It should end up being very cool. I already know how I want to do it.
Maybe add in random events when you raid.
Then the final update before MMO: Capital Ships. Giant Behemoth battlers who are slow and sludgy and easily evaded or harassed by small star fighters, but if they hit you, you're gonna feel it and they take a lot of damage to take down.
Please wait a few hours and achievements + referrals code patch will be live.

New patch: Leaderboards
click on 123 icon in lower right hand of screen to see your ranking.
There are three leaderboards.
Fleet raiding is your ability to raid bases.
Base Defense is how your base does against raids.
Last Stand High Score is your high score in the Last Stand rated against others.
Try and get #1 and screen shot for posterity. Everyone has a good chance right now.

Major UI patch
We released a major UI patch.
One of the most notable features is targeting.
You can target with tab/Shift+tab in combat.
There is a text that tells you about stations and what they do.
There are UI tool buttons which show you your stats, editor options and controls.
There are misc things cleaned up.
Bugs were fixed on the server.
We're updating more than we were before, but the updates take more time because we have two people doing work and everything needs to be made right.
God bless you guys and gals. And Merry Christmas. That Jesus dude, he's real, and loves ya! Its awesome that God loves ya! Feel loved and cozy this season.

UI patch
Targetting is my next big item.
Then
Player Missions
UI upgraded & future patches
I have a friend who is a good coder, smart, knows UI well, and studies games like this. He is a valuable companion and loyal so I can trust him. Development is going to be 10x as fast as before I believe.
UI is being overhauled
Topics at hand:
1) Story Missions going in
2) Menu system overhaul
3) Tutorial
4) Fleet Management and individual micromanagement and upgrading of ships.
5) Galaxy Conquering Strategy Mode
Hold on, and get your base upgraded to get a head start.

Hotfix
Those mouse bugs we found before Thanksgiving. I got around to fixing a bunch of them. Using mouse as a controller is getting better. I need to make it so you can move your stations with a mouse, and to pan around your base. Right now you can only do that with keyboard/Xbox360 Controller.
Things look very good for mass updates on this game. We will be pushing ahead at about 10x dev pace.
