Is this game still being worked on? New stuff and features and such? It's too good to not develop further.

This is definately one of the roguelikes that REALLY deserve more publicity.

It's still being worked on. In fact I have set aside this weekend to do so.
But the world in general just didn't want me to work on it for a while:
2 HDs crashed, within a week, both times taking the most current code with them.
Prospector is now on my USB Stick, so it should be safer if i don't loose it. :)

And then I did this:

And that ate a little time as well

Giving myself a deadline of next tuesday right now.

Great to see this is still being developed.  ;D
Gotta say this is one of the better roguelikes I've ever played, and definitely the most enjoyable one of its genre.

Keep up the good work.

Well it is almost the only Space Roguelike that actually tries to feel like a Sci-fi without becoming a space opera.

I can't believe I haven't posted in here yet, this game is awesome.

The only thing that I think is not very nice is the fact that usually one alien can kill off even a well armed crew, what adds to that is that I don't think I've seen a single easy to kill alien!

also, spoiler on how to be more awesome, I hold no responsibility for whatever part of the game I ruin for anyone who reads it.  :P

keep up the good work!

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Sadly, Google Image Search for "Space Oprah" does not yield anything hilarious.

I think I found a bug.

So I'm going along in my awesome Merchantman making bucketloads of cash, and then pirates attack. So far, no big deal. I shoot down two in as many shots, and then I press capital A to check my gunner's stats. The encounter suddenly ends. And, yes, there were more pirates around.

All this new stuff is great, by the way.

Thats a wierd one, xotes, since I just found out that space combat doesn't allow (A)wayteam ... though i have seen before that spacecombat just quits, and have yet to look into that a bit more.

Not a bug per se, but the company gave me a contract to map a planet with an ever-changing surface. this seems a little unfair.

Anyone know how exactly to mod this game other than changing the default ship stats.
Like add new items, ship modules, creatures, etc...
