- Patch 1.0.8 - Parallel Rocket Staging, AI vs AI, Combat Pausing, and more! - 17 December 2016
Patch 1.0.8 is out! Highlights: External Discardable Propellant Tanks - Allows parallel (but not tandem) staging rockets. Combat can be paused at will. AI vs AI combats can be set up in the sandbox. Fixed point (unturreted) lasers can be made. Lasers can be frequency quadrupled now. Timers/fuses on nuclear and explosive payloads. Basic sensor inaccuracy now affects all weapons. Projectile shot pattern reworked to be more realistic. A slew of bug and crash fixes. Full Changelist: 1.0.8 - Pause on demand in combat with spacebar. - Parallel Staging: Propellant tanks can be made external and discardable. Added a few stock designs which use this staging. - AI vs AI battles can be set up in sandbox. - Lasers can be fixed point rather than turreted. - Lasers can now be frequency quadrupled by using two frequency doublers in series. - Explosive and Nuclear Payloads can now have timers/fuses set…

- Patch 1.0.7 Released - 8 November 2016
Missile guidance algorithms have been heavily tweaked. Guidance algorithms are now customizable in the Remote Control module. Payloads now have a "Hard Range" and "Activation Range". Modules can be renamed. Module sliders can be edited via text editor. Intercept stats are displayed when you have an intercept. Aerogel has refractive indices fixed, which affects its response to laser damage significantly. Many more minor material changes. And many more minor changes, bug fixes, and crash fixes. Full Changelist: 1.0.7 (11/7/2016) - Missile Guidance Laws have been tweaked heavily, have much better intercept results, especially against dodging targets. - Exposed internals of missile guidance laws in remote control modules, so you can customize your own missile homing behavior. Remote Controls are now customizable. - Removed Controlled Homing. In combat, missile phases can instead be forced v…

- Patch 1.0.6 Released - 15 October 2016
'Pocket' nukes had scientific accuracy issues with their fusion fuel, which should now be fixed in this patch. Nuclear weapons and reactors in general have had a number of small issues fixed. Some custom nukes (and their launchers) may be in error as a result. Ranges in module designer are larger, so you can make propellant tanks and engines much smaller than before. Lots of small errors in ship design/module design and materials are fixed. And lots of crashes fixed. Full Changelist - Fusion fuel density pressure is now an issue in nuclear warheads. Fixes boosted fission nukes behaving like pure fusion bombs. - Fixed a number of typos in material properties (thermal expansion coefficients being off, missing critical values, etc.). - Increased some ranges in module designer. Minimum propellant tank reaction mass is now 100 grams. Rocket engines can be an order of magnitude smaller. - Cor…

- Patch 1.0.2 Released - 28 September 2016
Offline Mode is now supported for the game, as is the option for inverted rotation controls, and using the default OS cursor. Nuclear blasts were incorrectly calculated as too low power, this has been resolved, which should remedy some of the issues with the level Orbital Fallout. Nuclear missiles are also made a little better at hitting the target too. "Supergun" coilgun and railgun designs which were violating the laws of physics have been corrected now. Finally, a slew of crashes and other bugs have been fixed. Full Changelist - Fixed Offline Mode. - Added an option to invert the mouse look control. - Added a graphics option to use the default OS cursor instead of the custom cursor. - Fixed erroneously low ablation for nuclear blasts. - Tweaked core module missiles for better acceleration for hitting, greatly increases their hit probability, at the cost of some added mass. - Fixed a…
