It is with great pleasure that the Vega Strike Development Team announces the release of Vega Strike 0.6.0 and VS:Upon The Coldest Sea 0.6.2.

Join our protagonist Deucalion in adventures around the universe as a bounty hunter, mercenary, or merchant flying through the stars. Meet the deadly Aera and mysterious Rlaan. Battle with the Confederation. Run alongside Pirates. Or just buy and sell as a merchant while you explore. The universe and adventure are yours.

What’s changed?

Since our last release in 2012 of Vega Strike 0.5.1 we’ve made a few minor changes for 0.6.0. With a mostly new development team leading the way we’ve updated the dependencies to work on the newer systems, and fixed a few necessary bugs in the process. Development has also moved from our old home at Source Forge to our new home at Git Hub.

Want to help out?

There’s a lot to do. We’re working diligently to update Vega Strike. Version 0.6.0 is just our first step, showing it can still be done. We’ve already got several releases planned in the process of continuing to update our dependencies and fix bugs; you can see our Road Map. We need everything from coding, story development, art work, documentation, and even just generally helping the community.

The development team is active at Gitter.im and we’d love to hear from you.

You can also find the community at the Vega Strike Forums.
