Ahoy me space hearties,

first of all Cosmonautica is nominated for the German Developer Award 2014. We're pretty excited and are looking forward to the award show in Cologne.

Next up just a little reminder for our dev blog, where we'll put more stuff and give you more insights over time ;)

Now to the important part, the update:

You could see it already, but it wasn't ready with the last update. Now you are able to choose the uniforms of your crew members and you can give your ship a name!
So here's the complete list of what made it into this update:

• Customizable ship name (limited to 16 characters)
• Choose predefined uniforms for your crew
• Thought bubbles above your crewmembers describing their current mood / needs
• Take loans in the NODE interface under “finances”
• New ship: A massive and pricey cargo freighter awaits you in the shipyard

Besides smaller bugfixes, this are the improvements in this update:

• Time runs slower at spacestations and faster in fastforward now
• Improved scripting functionality for quest and random events
• If you cancel a mission and have a second with the same name the second one will not be canceled, too
• Selection of crewmembers and rooms in your ship has been improved
• Now the pirate ship is accessible in all game modes in all shipyards in the second and third ring

Leave us some feedback in the comments or in the Steam discussion boards. We really appreciate your input and value your opinions. Enjoy this update and please spread the word about Cosmonautica :)
