1.08b Hotfix Patch2016-06-15*Fixed an issue in non-english builds where components wouldn't properly appear on other ships as loot (i.e. Pirate Lords). Note that any existing ships in your universe will be unchanged, but new ships will properly get loot drops if appropriate (they're still quite rare). To 'clear out' ships, you can use a jump drive to jump to another solar system and back, which will repopulate the regions. *Fixed some minor German translation issues.

Rebel Galaxy Patch to Version 1.072015-11-171) Saves do not generate backups unless the playtime is >10 minutes - that way people won't accidentally obliterate their backups if they get a corrupted save from Steamcloud or some other vector, and then hit 'new game'. 2) Many delivery missions have had their ambush ranges altered so you have more reaction time, and in some cases the number of opponents has been reduced 3) You can autodock by touching the station even if a cargo is nearby 4) Certain 'rack' ship scaffolding models have been reconfigured so that their targeting centerpoint is better located. 5) Fixed some incorrectly hostile traders in a mission 6) You can 'stealth-dock' at

Rebel Galaxy Patch to version 1.062015-10-29Some more niceties for Escort missions, a crash fix for dx9 mouse mode, and hey, you can reverse now in a pinch. Very, very slowly. 1) If you have throttle set to zero and pull back (brake) you will engage a slow reverse 2) Random escort missions now do a pre-check to cull out any flightpaths that lead through planets. (hooray!) 3) Fixed mouse hover crash in dx9 on tactical menu if hovering over the gold selected button 4) Mercs will now properly restore their tactics on load 5) Escortees in escort quests don't get engine impairment due to damage. 6) cargo that somehow gets positioned 'inside' your ship will still tractor properly 7) Bribes i

Hotfix to 1.0412015-10-24Fixed 'fast turret' issue at moderate to low FPS Bribing militia officials with super-high militia faction rep now properly advances the conversation.

Rebel Galaxy Patch to version 1.042015-10-23Here they are! 1) Tons of escort mission improvements. Escorted ships will blow the crud out of any asteroids in their way. Your ship also won't noodle off into the distance if they react to damage from other ships. Also, escort missions are always to outposts - not stations just on the other side of an annoying planet. Lots of good stuff. 2) Can disable camera shake from the launcher if it makes you ill 3) Fixed a rare mission-related crash 4) Nasty Surprise mission doesn't have as huge of a Faction penalty 5) Antimatter drive mk1 and EMP Nova weapons aren't available ( they weren't intended to be for sale, and EMP Nova doesn't even work!) 6

Rebel Galaxy Patch to version 1.032015-10-22Found and fixed erratic Commodity Market crash (and there was great rejoicing!) Special thanks to a certain OTG Wraith who found the repro steps. Missions do not update their events while you are mid-jump. There were some extremely rare cases where some important ones could fire and you wouldn't see them as a result. If corrupted/garbage saves exist in your save folder, they will be ignored, rather than crashing the game at startup. (Windows Only for Now) Saves now have several new safety features, both in the way they are written ( a temp copy first, which is copied to final), but they also create a backup of the PRIOR save, before overwriti

In Mac windowed mode, your mouse cursor will become visible when it exits the window, and re-hide upon re-entering (fixes an issue where mousing over the dock shows your mouse, but we can't detect it) Mac turret mode control improved for mouse/keyboard users.

Fast mouse mode has had various improvements and tweaks in order to increase precision and responsiveness. XP machines sh

Small Launch Day Patch2015-10-20Two quick tweaks! 1) Ingame in M/KB mode, ESC always opens the pause menu, even if you remap ESC to another control, so that you can reset your keybinds without having to delete the keybind file. 2) Cursor clipping is now enabled by default in Fullscreen and Windowed Fullscreen modes, as long as the game has focus.
