Release date: 09/25/26.
New Features
GENERAL
- Added many new commands to the F2 menu, and a
help command to list all commands.

- Passenger chairs in the Arges and Steropes are now usable. Players now visually appear to be sitting when seated.
- Implemented many new admin commands. Use the

SERVER
- The server now supports Linux.

Optimizations & Performance Improvements
GENERAL
- Completely reworked the Networking System, allowing significant optimization.
- The game will now perform significantly better when loading a large number of vessels and/or entities.
SERVER

Improvements
GENERAL
- Added a 5-second countdown on the Disclaimer screen so the game can continue loading without player interaction.
- Hacking tools will now only be consumed when necessary.
- Server ping measurement is now more faster and more accurate.

ARGES
- Repositioned the Cargo Bay turret for better coverage.
- Added a Gravity button to the Cargo Bay.
- Repositioned the Bridge's environment panel.
Bug Fixes

- Fixed the Quest System requiring the player to relog to advance after completing tasks.
- Fixed the game crashing at launch when there is no internet connection.
- Fixed being unable to disable Distress Calls in certain cases.
- Fixed doors getting randomly stuck in some cases when the Manual Override is used.
- Fixed doors getting stuck closed if you get near them after they begin automatically closing.
- Fixed issue where items on the floor would sometimes disappear or not properly interact with other objects.
- Fixed issue where items thrown from EVA into a ship could act strangely.
- Fixed the Favorite Servers list in the Main Menu.
- Fixed the Locked icon on the Servers list.
- Fixed a glitch allowing the infinite use of a hacking tool by dropping and interacting simultaneously.
- Fixed internal doors closing too soon in some cases.

Other Changes
GENERAL
- Removed the Ceiling console of the Arges' Bridge as it is now unused.
- Disabled a behavior changing the color of the "distance to target" text to red when closer than 100m. This is likely a legacy behavior from a scrapped idea.
Known Issues
- Invites to cryopods can be unreliable and have visual glitches; a relog will resolve the issue.
- It may be required to hold shift to become stable after automatically aligning to the warp vector.
