Hello!

Alpha 0.4.0 brings some new cards and introduces new 'drone' cards:

Launching a drone means that you will spawn a drone unit with a specific attack/defense stat.

By the end of the enemy's turn, each drone will deal damage to a random enemy, equal to its attack.

But for each enemy attack that hits your hull, your drones will suffer 1 damage, reducing the defense stat by 1. 

When a drone gets its defense reduced to 0 it gets destroyed.

Some cards give bonus attack to each drone or use your drones in other ways, from bonus attack waves to kamikaze drone attacks.

What else is new?

• New music tracks and brand new sfx by Martyn Stonehouse
• New encounters, discover locked alien stations, and if you find a key, they will bring rare rewards.
• Space stations now randomly offer more options, from card scraps to selling fuel
• More polish, improved assets and new animations
• Small balance changes, too many to count...
• Expect bugs and some balance issues, since the drone mechanics still need more testing

As we approach the Steam release window, expect the price to go up, so it matches the Steam Early Access launch when it comes. But more news on that later...

Thank you everyone!
