August release
Missile Code Rewrite
We are working on new programming code for all missiles and bombs in the game (fired from capsuleer ships, citadels, POS batteries or NPCs)! This should have no effect on the functionality of missiles, aside from fixing the odd bug or two. Instead, this rewrite is a (necessary) investment into the future with clean code and optimizations.

Contracts in Citadels - work in progress
Contracts in Citadels are a work in progress, only few details are left to be finalized (for example the case when you lose access as Citadel got destroyed). That said, on the test server it is already possible to create a courier contract to a Citadel by dragging the link for a Citadel (from structure browser or asset window) into the destination field of the courier contract.


Issues, Troubleshooting, and Support
Bug reporting is important
If you discover a bug or something that isn't working as it should be, please use the in-game bug reporting tool for reporting. You can easily report bugs via the F12 in-game support menu.
