PATCH NOTES August 25, 2017
Just finished up a nice big patch for everyone tonight! Includes a lot of fixes to some very annoying things you all have been experiencing. We are now diving head-first into the Ships screen to completely rework that and make it much more user friendly in mid and late game. Thanks for everyone's suggestions on this subject, I think what we have planned will really help!
Saved games from previous versions are incompatible with this patch
-"wait for full load" issues are fixed, it now loads the ships that have been waiting the longest
-Loading a save game will no longer break ship icons
-Profit graph fixed to be accurate
-Added more financial graphs comparing you and the competition
-Removing the current stop on a route doesn't break the game with huge cash payments any more.
-Changing cargo rules should be more predictable, there were some cases where they weren't saving previously.
-Lots of multiplayer connectivity issues resolved.
-AI should now better prioritize reliability for long travel distance routes.
-AI should now consider larger ships more often
-Multiplayer chat window greatly improved
-In multiplayer, on client computers, moons of non-colonized planets should orbit better now.
-Planets and moons now orbit about half the speed they did previously
-Reduced spaceport size requirements for multiple ships
-Re-balanced multiple ships (cargo size, system speed, prices)
-Updated to Unity 2017
-Reduced the number of AI companies in predefined games to 3 for easy, 2 for normal and hard, and 1 for unfair
-Enabled loading a save game in multiplayer (still laggy for most clients after a reload however, we're working to correct this)
-Fixed lots of multiplayer bugs
-Improvements to AI companies
-Fixed news items not being saved
MAJOR KNOWN ISSUES:
-Ships screen and UI in general is very unintuitive later in the game. We are working hard to make it simpler to manage large companies. Expect big changes to some UI windows over the coming weeks.

-Ships should no longer turn around before even passing a planet in outer solar system.

Updated Development Roadmap and September 7th Patch Notes
Interstellar Transport Company - mt_worlds
Now that all the launch craziness has finally settled down some and most of the launch bugs have been taken care of we're starting to transition back in to heavy development mode. Our internal roadmap has been reordered some and we have already begun work on our next projects. The first of these being a new ships interface. The old one is just not up to the task of managing hundreds of ships. Below is an early sneak-peek of the new ships screen in development!
Expect the new ships screen to be done in a week or two!
In addition to the ships screen, we are also working on localizing the game. Currently we are up to 14 languages. While most of them use Google translations, about 95% of text in the game has been localized.
Current Development Road Map
Here is a short glimpse of some of our roadmap as it stands now:
-Localizations
-Interface usability improvements for large companies (ships / routes screens mainly)
-Notifications system rework including notification filters and clickable notifications to be taken to the event
-Initial modding support
-More cargo types including luxury cargoes and weaponry
-Map modes and reports to visualize supply / demand and other factors easier
-Politics and Factional relations (politics patch)
-Route waypoints, interstellar obstacles and very late game warp gates
-New play-through tutorial to explain game better
-Techtrees and research
-Stocks and IPO system
-VR Support
-Ranked multiplayer mode (we have moved this to the end of development to hopefully bring in a large influx of people at full launch for this feature)
And finally patch notes from today's patch which just went live!

14 Language translations now available! Some new ship screen elements 9-18-2017 PATCH NOTES v0.1.6
Interstellar Transport Company - mt_worlds
Hey everyone! We're so happy to bring this patch to you. It is the beginning of a couple of very big projects that we think will do wonders for the game. First of all, the ships window has been changed drastically, you can now assign ships to groups and filter ships by type, route, group, and cargo bays. This will make managing fleets much simpler in mid and late game! However, this is only half of this project. Next we will be allowing you to sort the ships, providing you some graphs to view historical performance data for your ships, allow you to select and edit multiple ships at once, upgrade ships with a couple of clicks, and also hide your competitor ships. Expect to see this all in the next couple of weeks.
The next thing we're excited to bring you is localization for 14 languages. While most of the translations are simply translated through Google Translate currently, it should be playable and we will be improving the quality of the translations over the coming months.
Below is a list of the languages we currently support:
-English
-French
-Spanish
-German
-Italian
-Korean
-Russian
-Dutch
-Portuguese
-Chinese
-Japanese
-Danish
-Finnish
-Norwegian
-Swedish
September 18, 2017 v0.1.6 PATCH NOTES:
-New ships screen (more functionality to come)
-User defined ship groups
-Ship filtering
-Better background coloring on some scroll view elements for better readability
-AI improvements and bug fixing
-Fixed fonts not being all from the same set for some languages
-More Localization and Translations improvements
-Fixed delete save game not working
