Greetings captains of Gemini!

The highlight of the update is the new bounties system that creates the foundation for the Deadly Dozen DLC. Check out the Bounties in the Personal Log screen and hunt those buggers down! Just make sure to bring some friends along... Check out the details in the update change-log below and expect more content coming in future updates!

If hunting down criminals is your thing, don't forget to check out the new Deadly Dozen DLC! Here's what it brings:

DEADLY DOZEN

As the dust of recent conflicts settled, so came to light the emergence of a new system wide threat: The Deadly Dozen. They are a roaming gang of once-solitary criminals that have banded together under a mysterious leader to capitalize on current galactic turmoil. The Deadly Dozen have pitted themselves against all other factions and have quickly risen to prominence with acts of extreme violence and abolition of local laws. They are well-hidden, well-trained and scattered among Gemini in localized terror cells. Even though the call for someone’s life or capture is a barbaric method of governance, desperate times call for desperate measures, so the factions in turn sent out a call: "Bounties have been placed for the capture or demise of the twelve leading members of The Deadly Dozen and all captains are welcome to end their oppression."

KEY FEATURES

Hunt down 12 new Bounties
Capture and fly 3 new unique ships: the old Korkyran Premonition, the highly-requested Helios and the deadly Imperial Perun carrier.
Acquire a new Warmaster or build new, devastating Carriers for your warfleets

UPDATE 1.100 CHANGE-LOG

Added the Bounties system
- The Personal Logs has a new tab called "Bounties" where you can read more about each target.
- The key is to see in which region a bounty target is active.
- Get in that region and look for the bounty's lackeys. They belong to a special faction called "Liberated".
- Beating the lackeys into a pulp will reveal the hiding location of their "boss".
- Kick the boss in the proverbial behind and claim the reward.
Added full support for additional downloadable content (the technical bits work similar to mods).
Added the DLC section to the game launcher.
Added a couple of new player portraits (both male and female).
Carriers buffed to make them more usable.
