Client rebuild update: what's done, and the road to launch. It's not in order, just a snapshot. More versions will be posted as things get done. 🙂 #indiedev #gamedev #devupdate #stariumxcv

Ships are built at shipyards with industrial units, exocredits, and blueprints. Each type with its own equipment and stats.

These are the Gervian assault and escort ships: commanding + dominant. 🔥
