The future updates during Alpha will be focused on building up towards the Multiplayer beta targeted for this summer. Survival Singleplayer wont have a whole lot of attention, but there will likely be small additions as new features are built for multiplayer. Once multiplayer is in beta, the attention will turn back towards singleplayer.

There will be many changes/additions in the future updates, the below are just the key required features that will be definite.

  • Alpha 1.4: User friendly mod support and multiplayer building/flying
  • Alpha 1.5: Multiplayer galaxymap, ftl jumps, and survival
  • Alpha 1.6: Multiplayer login/register accounts
  • Alpha 1.7: Multiplayer ship and player damage (PvP)
  • Alpha 1.8: Multiplayer laws, bounties, and ownership
  • Alpha 1.9: Multiplayer Crews, companies, fleets, and premium bonuses
  • Alpha 2.0: Multiplayer station shops and trading
  • Multiplayer beta 1.0!
  • Beta: Multiplayer computer systems (Radar, jammers, shields, ftl drives, etc.)
  • Beta: Fully completed planetary landing/exploration/oxygen/gravity/generation
