Description:
C: >-
<p>Explore other star systems. Earn money by trading, carrying passengers, or completing missions. Use your earnings to
buy a better ship or to upgrade the weapons and engines on your current one. Blow up pirates. Take sides in a civil war.
Or leave human space behind and hope to find some friendly aliens whose culture is more civilized than your own...</p>
<p>Endless Sky is a sandbox-style space exploration game similar to Elite, Escape Velocity, or Star Control. You start
out as the captain of a tiny spaceship and can choose what to do from there. The game includes a major plot line and many
minor missions, but you can choose whether you want to play through the plot or strike out on your own as a merchant or
bounty hunter or explorer.</p>

Releases:
- version: 0.10.10
type: stable
unix-timestamp: 1729900800
description:
C: >-
<p>This is a stable release, focused on fixing bugs and making some other small improvements.</p>
<ul>
<li>The biggest change this release is the removal of the "hold fire" command, added in 0.10.9, because of bugs associated
with it that could not be adequately resolved prior to this release.</li>
<li>We hope to have addressed those issues for the next release in a few months.</li>
</ul>
<p>This release brings one new feature:</p>
<ul>
<li>The addition of the "silent jumps" and "silent scans" attributes, which allow ships to jump and scan without playing
any sounds, not even the default ones.</li>
</ul>
<p>Some other changes are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Particularly large capture defense values on some outfits were reduced, to work better with changes to capturing
mechanics in 0.10.9.</li>
<li>Fixes and improvements to various Incipias, Remnant, and Successor missions.</li>
<li>Updated landing messages for some star sprites to improve accuracy.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can find out more in the changelog.</p>
<p>Special thanks to the 18 people who contributed to this release!</p>

description:
C: >-
<p>This is an unstable release, containing big changes that may introduce new bugs.</p>
<p>This release includes two new groups of systems, each with their own faction:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Incipias, who live in gas giants and have not yet achieved faster than light travel.</li>
<li>The Successors, in the south, an amphibious race.</li>
</ul>
<p>Some other notable additions and changes to content and mechanics are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Formation flying for fleets and escorts.</li>
<li>A new mission chain for the Gegno.</li>
<li>Changed boarding mechanics to better balance boarding attack and defense.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can find out more in the changelog.</p>

- version: 0.10.8
type: stable
unix-timestamp: 1719014400
description:
C: >-
<p>This is a stable release, focused on fixing bugs and making some other small improvements.</p>
<p>These changes include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixed various crashes, including ones that could occur when sorting ships or when using the flagship outline or
new cloaked settings.</li>
<li>The flagship will no longer move through wormholes ahead of escorts when using fleet jumping.</li>
<li>Reduced the difficulty of the battle in "Wanderers: Mind 6".</li>
<li>Added a gamerule for controlling the disabled fighter projectile collision behavior introduced in v0.10.7.</li>
<li>Illegal mission passengers can now be detected by planetary security. Previously, missions with only illegal passengers
could never result in a fine.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can find out more in the changelog.</p>
<p>Special thanks to the 13 people who contributed to this release!</p>

- version: 0.10.7
type: development
unix-timestamp: 1716595200
urgency: low
description:
C: >-
<p>This is an unstable release, containing big changes that may introduce new bugs.</p>
<p>One of the biggest changes is a rebalance of all ship masses.</p>
<ul>
<li>Alongside this is a 50% increase in thrust, turn, reverse thrust, and afterburner thrust across the board.</li>
<li>While newly instantiated ships have higher masses, ships already in save files will now be considerably faster.
Have fun!</li>
</ul>
<p>Some other notable additions and changes to content and mechanics are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Various new short mission chains, including one involving the Wanderers and Mereti.</li>
<li>The changes to initial velocity and acceleration of missiles in v0.10.0 have been reverted.</li>
<li>There are now many new uninhabited planets and stations in human space.</li>
<li>Disabled fighters and drones will no longer be hit by stray projectiles; only weapons fire that specifically targets
them.</li>
<li>Missions can "mark" systems of importance without requiring the player to visit them, and leave them marked after
the player has visited.</li>
<li>Mission triggers and conversation actions can do various new things, including playing music, giving the player
debt, and applying events immediately, instead of after at least one day.</li>
<li>The firing arc for a turret hardpoint can now be limited.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can find out more in the changelog.</p>
<p>A special thanks to the 42 people who contributed to this release!</p>
