Hey fellow space captains,

thanks a lot for your patience regarding this update. We are working on lots of fronts these weeks. This update was focused on the space fight, but there's still some stuff to be done and that leaves some room for improvement. We changed lots of stuff and prepared different game elements for our localisation purposes.

Also we've updated the game engine to its latest version, which was a necessary update regarding all platforms, especially the upcoming mobile versions of Cosmonautica. This update might increase the performance on some levels, but it's also possible that perfomance decreases.
If you experience performance issues of any kind, please let us know, because we're working towards leaving the Early Access stage. We want to improve the game experience, so that you can enjoy longer game sessions without crashes.

We still have lots of cool ideas floating around, but therefor this game has to be succesful for us.
Saying that does not mean that we're abandoning Cosmonautica after we're out of the Early Access stage. It simply means that we are now improving the current game, fix lots of bugs, balance some more and polish a lot. Then we have to evaluate what makes sense to add.

Right now we are aiming for leaving EA by the end of June and we are hoping for your support to spread the word about Cosmonautica and make this game the success we need in order to put out more content.

Have fun playing around with the current update and please report every weird thing you encounter.
