Colony updates are slowly coming back online, I'm testing each bit thoroughly before moving on to the next to ensure it works correctly the first time (currently all building, manufacturing, processing, refining, research, size increases and market updates are enabled, tomorrow will see food/water production/consumption switched back on, followed swiftly by the mining operations again).

The new App has arrived in the App store and with it came a server side patch to enable a few features on the iPhone (you can now land at colonies and abandon jobs again). The combat fix is coming, we've identified the problem - worked in a fix (for the next version of the App) and are working on a running fix now (for this version of the app). It's all data related, so we should be able to fix that soon enough.

In other news, three new ships are coming - (sneak peak screenshots :

also just a note to people: if u didn't figure it out, unfrozen means that the first update to the OE app was released, as well as a browser update. the browser update, however, was not the first update. just thought i'd clarify that

Good point. I wanted to release the news ASAP and possibly be the first source of announcement for some players. I forget more casual players would not get the reference to the app update that everyone has been begging for ingame.
