NEW FORUMS!
The new Epic Space: Online forums are live and are completely integrated with the main game universe! We've spent most of month tweaking, testing and finalizing the system.
Head over to http://EpicSpace.net/forums and check it out.
NEW! CONTROLS TUTORIAL
A new tutorial exclusively covering the controls has been added. It'll only appear for pilots under level 2 or if pilots decide to reset their own tutorials. (Via the Game Settings)
Alternatively, if you're already an expert, dismiss the tutorial at anytime.
GALAXY MAP TWEAKS
The Galaxy map now shows your current location and the primary locations of all resources. The Arrid Expanse: Tritanium, Cordite. The Glenn Nebula: Ice, Aluminum. More locations to be added!
Press M to bring up the Galaxy Map or approach any jump point in game.
NEW SOUND EFFECTS
"BZZZZZZZZZZZ"
New Ship Engine and Docked level sound effects have been added! As a result we've toned down some of the music so everyone can experience it. Adjust the settings in the Options menu.
UI TWEAKS
- The image of the ship and it's level color display correctly in the hangar bay.
- Various tweaks have been made to the tutorial missions system in support of our ongoing "New Player Support" campaign.
- Removed the ceasefire note on Character Creation Interface.

- The PDA can now be resized (Experimental).
- Players are now clearly notified when they level up their character or ship.

- When docked, and if there is any inventory in your ship, a message will pop up letting you know.

CHAT: DISCORD INTEGRATION
