There's a new astronaut here, and his name is-
Dave
He is an animated 3D model and skin created by Keaton Pursell (aka Omnimmotus) http://twitter.com/Omnimmotus
Dave is your default skin in the world of Starmade, but he may also be replaced with other skins (including custom helmet skins.)
He also has a beautiful new world of textures to explore, thanks to Tom Berridge (aka Kupu) the creator of Starmade's official new texture packs.
Dave isn't alone in this lustrous new iteration of Starmade, he has a crew! You can now hire crew member NPC's from stations. Although your limited to 5 active NPC's you can give commands to at once, you can have more in reserve aboard your ship. (This is still an early stage for NPC's, and theres plenty left to add, so if something seems in need of improvement, rest assured, it will be addressed.) Be warned, NPC's can die, and theres no way to respawn them currently.
In addition to the new crew in this next patch, Schema has added;
***NOT CURRENTLY IN GAME***
This content is in the upcoming patch, it is not a part of the download you may be getting, that is from a prior news post schema snuck in, you only uploaded a hotfix for some bugs in the current version. So, again, sorry but this is not anything you can currently access in the game.

In addition to the new crew in this next patch, Schema has added;
- A new AI panel - To better control your AI minions.
- The Fabricator tool - Seriously, who even uses picks anymore?
- Docking Beam Fix - Cockpits can now function as the dock beam origin block (in addition to the core.)
- Signature fetching - Another optimization, the client will ask for whole regions and server will send back a bit map of what segments are 100% empty, so the client then only requests non empty segments to load.
