- Terran Development - 14 May 2020
Terran’s development plan has been derailed as you may be aware. The team have been progressing with planned updates that have at this point come to a complete stop. We will not waste your time with excuses and reasoning why that is the case, only to say that we have taken this opportunity to step back, assess and plan a way forward. With that said Heathen Engineering have not shut down and will not abandon the game nor the players that have supported it. We are not yet in a position to announce our future plans for Terran but want to let you know that we are here, and we are working away. We will not be communicating on the state of Terran again until we have some news for you, and we will be available on the forums - happy to answer any other questions we can. In the meantime, please be safe, wash your hands and we hope to see you again soon.

Station mechanics have been changed and will no longer force an attack. Stations now slow and damage hostile fleet elements over time giving defenders more time to react. Sight has been changed such that you now require line of sight to see enemy fleet elements and system detail. Warship…
