…We've just released a new update. Highlights include functional cockpit displays and the addition of a mysterious alien race, referred to as "The Ancients".
You can see the complete list of changes below.
We're able to offer this update on Mac as well, however with a slight delay of about 8 hours as something went wrong during build process. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Version 0.5 and 0.6 fell off the back of a gigantic space truck, if you're wondering. Kidding aside, a lot of comments indicated that version numbers were often being associated with completion percentage (though they're really just numbers to us), so we've decided to play along and go with version 0.7 - as the inclusion of the functional cockpits, the Glyphs and the Ancients are all big additions and we're fast-approaching full release.

…Hello Everspace Community! We're almost down to ONE WEEK LEFT for the full launch.
@ROCKFISH_Andihas some important information regarding joystick controls at release:
Before buying, please be aware that the game currently does not support joysticks. We will start working on joystick support right after release.
Also note that only XInput controllers are fully supported (XBox controllers and the likes). When playing in VR you will have to rely on a controller.
We know that there are many space game fans out there who own joysticks and might be wondering why there currently is no support. Please consider the following:
- Unreal Engine 4 does not offer native Joystick support in version 4.14 (which we are currently using) and we are a fairly small team of 12 people, with until very recently only 3 coders working full-time on the game.
- Everspace was specifically designed for mouse and keyboard. It is the

We're currently busy migrating the game to Unreal Engine 4.16, adding more controls options for VR and implementing the long-awaited Hardcore Mode. While doing so we received a few alarming reports about a problem with the very last mission of the game. It must have found its way in with the last hotfix - so we decided to branch to the old code base and hotfix the hotfix.
Here's the tiny little list of changes for this patch:
- Fixed very last mission not progressing correctly
- Fixed Predetermination glyph incorrectly removing all jump suppressors
- Fixed very last mission not progressing correctly

…Attention, Pilots!
A major expansion is approaching fast (scheduled for end of October). It will feature a new player ship, the
Colonial Sentinel, a medium fighter class ship, which will impress with some sophisticated electronic warfare capabilities and a special shield, featuring twice as much capacity as the standard model. You will also be able to use a plethora of new weapons, devices and consumables to fool, distract, and defeat enemies in new ways.
All-new factory space stations add further gameplay mechanics to the game experience, by offering special on-the-fly services, like refining and converting resources, upgrading ship capabilities or minor repair jobs. Furthermore, you will even be able to pay the Okkar Homeworld a visit. Along your journey, you will also encounter new story characters, who will offer individual questlines.
More details about the content and the pricing will follow soon.
