Hi everyone, A decently large update. Some really nice quality of life improvements, bug fixes and cosmetic changes (including new ships, new planetary features and new items). Liberation has always been a tight little game and it's cool to get to cram some of the corners with extra details. I can't give too much away as they are spoilers! Liberation is starting to get some good polish going on. I can never promise future updates but after this patch I can kind of see where I would want to go... a few new missions (the foundations are in this update) and more zestiness. If you're liking the game please consider leaving a review or a suggestion on what you'd like to see in an update (for example, someone mentioned VR... that would be cool!) Regards, Luke
