Pioneer is a space adventure game set in the Milky Way galaxy at the turn of the 31st century. The game is open-ended, and you are free to explore the millions of starsystems in the game. You can land on planets, slingshot past gas giants, and burn yourself to a crisp flying between binary star systems. You can try you hand at piracy, make your fortune trading between systems, or do missions for the various factions fighting for power, freedom or self-determination.

Hi Folks! The dev team have been busy this month creating cool new stations, have a peek in the Images section for them ;), do check them out along with a load of fixes and improvements. A big one is great improvements in the frame rate with high visual settings. So do play about with it and see what you think. As usual here is the Changelog for this month below. There is also a request to anyone out there who could help with contributing work to this wonderful project.
