Will a new update come out today?

Updates happen when schine feels they are ready to release it, typically not a moment before.

I think the dev build might still have a few release blocking bugs but I haven't exactly checked the tracker recently. Today is as about as likely as tomorrow, or the day after or maybe the day after that.

To answer your question, no one knows. And only schema likely knows how close we are to releasing the next update.

Schine has a release schedule of every two weeks on a friday, they just missed the last one as the update wasn't nearly ready. So yes, today is more likely than any other day. To answer the topic, probably, if it's in a releasable state.

lol from what I've seen on the dev build we're nowhere near ready for an update. >_> Things are still imploding all over the place.

Wasn't last friday the skipped day? If so, next week will be more likely.

I would not be so sure :p we will see.
then again.. It would be nice to have that one week to really make it good

Noticed something we're also missing the orders that let us tell the AI to go mine asteroids, planets, stations, ships, etc. >_>

Last release was Jan 30th, which makes the 'skip' release on Feb 13th.
So, as far as the regular schedule is concerned, the next release should be today or tomorrow.
Unless they skip again, which I would be ok with since they will probably make up for it with another devblog or some such.
Either way, we should get something soon.

(I'm assuming timezone wackiness for the Friday/Saturday discrepancies)

There are still a lot of bugs with the new features..so I wouldn't hold my breath

i hope they wait at least one more weak to make it even better

Not even their stupid heat block to stop explody sun.

Just hope they hold that fleets back till the majority of bugs are fixed.

I had a good bug last night, teleported to my ship from my station and ended up in space about 200m from my ship!

Greetings once again Citizens! Here's an update for you that will hopefully answer some questions.

We have worked hard the past two weeks to bring fleets into StarMade. Unfortunately, all the fleet work we have started to implement is not ready for release yet. The backend is fully implemented, and it’s already usable, but we would feel uncomfortable releasing it in this state, especially since the testing team didn’t have much time to try it out.

You can expect a release soon….

This to me says that it's a large update that will break the two week update schedule for an indeterminate amount of time. We just have to wait, keep the ear to the forums about what's happening in the dev builds, or jump on a dev build to help with bug squashing. To be honest, this would be something that if released early just to match with the two week schedule would be quite a big mistake.

Just know that things are in the works to tie together all the "Random" features we gained during the two week update cycle

Actualy we never know if the devbuild is fully updated.It might be that the did not upload yet so we will wait and if aanyone sees a dev ask them.

This update could also be the nightmare of many server hosts. Not only can players have incredible big ships, now they can utilize unlimited amounts of them. Servers like GenX where you can build big ships with little effort will suffer for sure.

lol I could just see massive fleets of huge ships flying around nuking anything in their path. :P

At least the mining will wait a little longer after the fleet update, so servers can have some time to bounce before another big wave of ships...

lol the fleet update is going to make it easier to move ships into position to guard places that's for sure. Just need some easily spammed guard ships and attack ships ready and I'll be good to go.
