The feature design document for Astra Protocol 3 (working title) is finally complete.
Gloriously typed up on an Amstrad CPC 464, it's too big to fit on a 3" disc, comes in at 32 minutes of cassette tape and over 10 meters of listing paper

Astra Protocol 2 has joined the Steam Typing Fest!
It’s fast, it’s chaotic, and right now it’s 75% off.
Perfect time to dive in.
To warp or not to warp?
We've implemented warp jumps in the Astra Protocol 2 beta, this enables near instant travel to another position in the map, for the cost of overheating your reactor and temporarily deactivating ship functions after the jump.
Astra Protocol 2 fans - we need you.
We're working on some new features and require player feedback.
If you want to jump onboard the latest beta, you can find out more here:
