Space Impossible BETA 13 Pre-Release has arrived. Ship buying and selling has been added. Respawning and post-player death improvements are in. Ship hacking is in. A bunch of new netcode optimizations are in.
You can now buy ships from certain stations, just look for a ship with a frame around it and hail it. You can now sell ships to Scrappers for money or faction, be sure to bring a tractor beam.
It has been a long time coming, but player death and respawning has been improved. You can, and will still probably die, but where you respawn, and what choice of ship you respawn with has been significantly improved.
Player hacking ships is now a possibility. Using the hacking tool while in the spacesuit can allow captains to take control of a vessel, assuming they live long enough to complete the hack.
Finally, a good look was taken at network performance and a number of networking messages have been optimized to reduce total network message count, and significantly improve performance in a number of areas, especially when highly trafficked by other ships, AI or player.
As usual with a Pre-Release, the final BETA 13 build will be released once we're happy the state of the game is bug free, sometime probably next week.
If you would like to check out this pre-release build all the usual things apply, it will have problems (some of which we know about) and universes created may not be compatible with the final release. Let us know your thoughts via the forums or on our discord.
