A month ago, we promised to release the Jericho ships. Unfortunately, for a number of reasons we were unable to keep our promise. Meanwhile the development did not stop and now we have a lot of new features waiting for you. We made a tough decision: We will delay the release of Jericho a little bit and make one big match with a lot of innovations.
So what will be new in Patch 0.6.0?
A new map: An anomaly in the orbit of Pandora.
A new game type: Domination.
Jericho faction and ships.
And some more improvements which will make the game more dynamic and interesting.
Still no skill tree improvement, though, but does this mean that High Rank players with lots of unlocked skills will still crush rank 1s when they’re using T1 ships?
I myself will be one of those moving to Jericho when it comes out, but I’ll prefer to this patch to be applied.
At the moment the priority is on Jericho, but I think the skill tree will follow soon after the Jericho Patch.
Aw, me playing more is really hinging on getting everyone’s skills matched up right. Skill Equality is a big deal for me, it would be a priority on my list as it is a one time deal, once you set it up it is done.
The Patch sounds good but I will be waiting for the skill equalization before really getting back into playing.
The balance depends on the skills and on the ships so there needed to be choice: First fix the skill tree or first adding all factions before starting the fine balance.

Ahhhh, yes I didn’t even think about that. Well I had just barely gotten up so now I am more awake, but yes you are correct that makes perfect sense.
As soon as I am allowed to post it I will do it, but until then you need to wait a little bit:P
Indeed, no problem.
Could you perhaps give us some information about the new game mode, Domination? What does it entail and how it is different from the featured gamemode.
maybe you could show us a screenshot from the new map would be great to see what the devs got on their minds
furthermore, i’ve got one more request about the skilltree: will it be similar (in design e.g.) to the old one or will it be a complete overhaul like design and skill changes?
