Okay, so I know I've been hush-hush over everything, but I thought I'd give you all a sample of what I've been working on.
The new expansion is called the "Unknown Regions", it will be a massive area of space, with new locations, technology, and high level AI (bots/NPCs), and should offer players a bit of a challenge. The package will include: new graphics, new technology (weapons, and ships), the story will also be expanded upon.
The client update SHOULD fix the Contraband problem. Another thing I am addressing is I will be adding a cut/copy and paste feature into the game, and you should also be able to scroll through chat. The BIG hold up on the client though is the equipment. I am adding in my Mk. 3 equipment, and it's being a pain in the ass, I've got it showing up in the shop, and it being added to you ship, but a bug in one of the thousands of lines of code that I gotta find isn't letting it modify your ship values. So, hold tight and bear with me, I'll have all this done and released just as soon as I can!
Thanks,
