Hi folks and welcome to the last update of 2013 for Pioneer. A really busy year for the Pioneer devs who have tirelessly improved the game steadily over the months. Great work guys! Cant wait to see what they come up with in the new year. And my thanks to you Pioneer fans out there too. Without your support there would be no Pioneer, so enjoy this months build and I will see you all again in 2014. Fly safe Commanders!
