I took a short break from working in general (modding included). 2025 was extremely stessful (pretty much non-stop work) and i needed a break.
There are plenty of ideas and plans for the upcoming updates and I intend to continue the work somewhen next week.
Generally I have in mind to release the 2nd part of the Coaltion update next and maybe a test environment for the Black star update (not 100% sure how I am going to distribute it yet).
I probably will have an access restricted release for testing purposes and will share content step by step when its ready.
There have been noticable issues with the server anticheat and the launcher in 2025. I will also try to figure out whats wrong with that. It is pretty hard to figure out why stuff happens on the server and why players get kicked/banned for unknown reasons. I basically will try to clone the server to a test environment where I can test various scenarios without interupting the original server. This probably will also help me to make changes much faster without the risk of messing up stuff for regular players. I hope that I can sort this stuff out by the end of this month.
There has been some feedback regarding rebalancing specific ships recently. These changes will roll out with the Coalition (part 2) update.
Hmm, what else... System rent system will reset later this week. (one system was already paid by accident last year -> going to consider this of course).
