[feedquote='Everspace','https://forum.everspace-game.com/discussion/4166/update-0-4-2-30747']We've just released a new update. Highlights include enhancements that can be equipped in the hangar, derelict colonial stations, ship color customization and alternative loadouts.
See the complete list of changes below. Please note that Drone Overrides won't work in this version.
Unfortunately we are unable to offer this update on Mac due to several severe issues that popped up after migrating to Unreal Engine version 4.14. We're still working on solutions, but chances are high that we will have to wait for a new Unreal Engine version before we can release the update.
