The list below is a summary of most updates, additions and fixes since the last update post, this is not an exhaustive list. Features appearing in the post below may not necessarily be in their final state and may change in subsequent updates.

What a busy month this has been, we've seen the release of several new systems including the Territory War System, the Cartel Armories and large improvements which will hopefully make the game more dynamic going ahead. I've also started several small advertising campaigns to try to improve the community player count.

Continued thanks to the amazing community who have continued to support the game and to support me directly, with their feedback, suggestions and Subscriptions/DP purchases. You all make it possible to continue this hobby.
