Hello all! It's certainly been a while. This last year-or-so has been incredibly busy for me, mainly real-life stuff that's kept me away from game dev, but I've been able to put together a release for you all. Not one as big on content as I'm sure you'd like, but at least I'm not dead! Also, I've included a set of Steam Grid images so that any of you running the PC build as a non-steam game can spiff up your library.
I've added the ability for NPCs to pilot the Zulfiqar and the Omicron. I've also added support for NPC pulse lasers, so there's a couple of fun new ways for other ships to kill you - so you may need to approach some fights just a teensy bit differently!
I've also played around with some post-processing effects - the game now implements a fairly fast bloom shader. I've also added an option in the settings menu for disabling it if you don't like it or if it gives you any performance issues.
