Alpha 17 - Spaceships are back on the menu!

Hey gang! Happy Thorium Thursday!

Especially happy if you saw the last newsletter and saw that Thorium Nova alphas would be delayed for a little while. I'm happy to report that the delay is over and Alpha 17 is out now!

Lots of great new features, and I'll write more about them in the future. For now, here's a quick list:

• Sound effects
• Background ambiance
• AI Ship movement improvements
• New App Kiosk
• Headless server
• New sensors system and card
• Improvements to Pilot joysticks
• Improvements to how contacts appear on the sensor grid
• Major refactor to eventually enable [REDACTED]

That's all! Download it for your platform here: https://github.com/Thorium-Sim/thorium-nova/releases/tag/1.0.0-alpha.17

If you run into any issues or have ideas for future features, feel free to get in touch by replying to the newsletter email, sending a message on Discord, or filing an issue on Github.

Until next time! 👋
