New Game?

After not checking in for a year or so, I suddenly notice everyone is talking about shipnames I don't even remember (Llama, Dodo?) and other stuff.

Is 0.5 really that different from 0.4.0? And does it rock the way I hope it does?

It's very different from 0.4.0 in every respect.

There are a whole lot of differences in the engine between 0.4.3 and 0.5.0, however a large fraction remained the same.

Right now it's just a beta. When the final version is released in the next few weeks as I hope it will, it will be very awesome!

Is there a list somewhere, so I can check out the main differences?

For instance, the mass/inertia thing, does that affect manoeverability a great deal? Or shouldn't I worry about that too much if I'm in a Fighter?

And Cap ships/Cargo haulers, are they regular to fly now?

The news posts on the homepage list out a lot of big changes: better graphics, multiplayer, better physics, some new units.

Things that haven't changed much are campaigns, missions, and related gameplay things.

The mass/inertia isn't a big deal. It only hurts you if you are making a lot of big changes.

Cap ships you have to hack your save game they still handle like bricks in molasses the Clydesdale and OX are the biggest cargo haulers buyable there are also some more target selection options,some added to deal with the increase in traffic.

Enjoy the Choice
