After quite a lot of work, Space Exploration dev 7 is finally out! You can download it from its new site. Major features include:

• Nebulas
• Fuel
• More encounters and specialists
• Many bug fixes
• Contextual help system (can be turned off in settings)

There has also been a lot of code cleanup and bug fixes, which will really help the project in the long run. Next up for dev 8: tactical space combat.

Since we're still very interested in your feedback, we've made a proper website for the game and started up a forum. So if you have any comments or suggestions, or need help with the game, visit the forum.
