Good news! Update 4.7 has arrived along with macOS / OS-X support! Now that support on all platforms has been restored, we're going to swap the old Alpha and new Beta builds around as we're a little conscious that people are missing out on the good stuff. So in other words: If you were testing the BETA simply switch the build back to normal! [img=http://shallow.space/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/sspace-2016-10-20-20-23-53-53.jpg][/img] Managing multiple groups is now very easy by using TAB / Shift + TAB We're seeing mainly evolutionary progress this update with the promised additional fleet management tweaks bringing the chapter of unit groupings to a close. We also have a few tweaks as suggested by the community but the real work has gone on under the hood to prepare for resource collection and logistics which will be switched on in 4.7.1. As is now the norm; expect a flurry of incremental updates/hotfixes over the course of the next week as we continue the race to complete the short to medium term objectives. Please do keep pointing out the bugs and we'll continue to squash them!
