Wow, 1.003 feels really awesome!

I know it's just a single patch, but it really feels like such a major improvement! Docking missions are now actually kind of difficult in that you can't just sit there and take all the shots, nor can you just spam abilities. Also, the new Burlust 'turmoil' mechanics are very, very interesting for the whole galactic political scene.

So, seriously. Kudos to ArcenGames for keeping the love going with this game. I'm certainly having a blast!

Awesome, thank you!  More great stuff incoming tonight that I think you'll like.

The solar system really came to life with 1.003
Never had such an incredible game in the previous versions. I can build science outposts in almost negative months!
The new ship types also made the combat incredible. Having Skylaxian Battle Carriers and Acutian Executors face off against each other while both try to destroy my outpost is a whole new kind of bullet hell.
Haven't tried the AFA cleanup mission yet since I'm not in a hurry to start the federation, is that still 20 ships vs 1 without those allies the description mentions?

@Ljas: Not sure if sarcasm or seriousness.  Can you clarify?  As for AFA cleanup, that is something we'll get to today, thanks.

...Alright, that did come off as a little sarcastic, now that I reread it. The intention was to say that everything's suddenly awesome.

Oh, good then!
