Things have been rather quiet around SE:SS central lately, so I thought I'd just reassure you that I'm still alive, and so is the game project. I haven't been working on it in an attempt to finally cure this chronic wrist-and-shoulders problem, but work will resume!

To tide you over, here's a preview of the new Fleet HQ. The model's only partly done, as there will also be an inner docking ring, and more detail on the modules:

As you might have seen on Twitter, I have managed to do some work for SE:SS dev 11. This is not to say that I'm perfectly well again, but physiotherapy means I can now afford to do a little work again, with more to follow soon.

So in celebration of this, have a look at a new spaceship, the Thellurm Ember. It's what happens to the salvaged parts from a destroyed Phoenix. They're small, slow, and weak, but better than nothing in a fight. But a single well-placed shot can easily down them:

So the launch of dev 10 went really well: The feedback I have received has been overwhelmingly positive, and there seem to be only a few minor bugs that should be easily straightened by dev 11.

Unfortunately, my RSI has if anything worsened, so I will be absent from the Internet - and indeed, my computer - for the next eight days. I need to fix this before I can deliver dev 11, never mind the final version!

That being said, rest assured that I have been reading all your feedback, even if I haven't replied to any of it, and will continue doing so.

Nor will I be idle in this next week: I'm taking all my notes with me into this computerless land, with the aim of plotting out the remaining encounters for the first episode / expansion pack.
