Version 0.96 came out a few days ago, and has a few improvements over .95b. A few things for others to know: You can't change ships in the game at the moment, saving all your cash in the hopes of buying a better ship is pointless. You can get mods that give you know starting ships, installation is _very_ easy, and it's worth it. The game universe changes every time you start a new game. I've got a game that's a good way in, and I'm enjoying it alot, it gets very difficult once you leave Commonwealth space, the locations to repair, offload loot, and purchase improvements starts dropping down considerably the closer you get into uncivilised space (appropriately). I will be starting a new game with each version released, he always adds enough new content to make it worth while it seems. For instance he will be adding multiple path ways, ability to buy ships in game, and heaps of other things. Ceo-
