From the release announcement:
QuoteIn a fortunate twist of events patching the Linux issues has resulted in an insane framerate increase on both platforms (averages around 100-110fps on our test machines now, before it was 40-70fps.)
To access the new version, you need to opt-in to the beta branch. I would recommend this, as the "stable" version is old and doesn't have the revamped gameplay.
It does seem to be pretty damn smooth.
About the game (Official)
Construct your fleet ship-by-ship by foraging in dangerous asteroid clusters and nebulas for resources and completing quests. Build up your modular base to include all the things a fleet commander needs; refineries, factories, power stations, shipyards and trade docks. Evolve your ship Captains careers, customize your ships using loot savaged from wreckages, become embroiled in action spanning huge playable areas and work across multiple planetary systems to bring order to Shallow Space.
An innovative ‘zone’ system lies at the heart of what we’ve dubbed the ‘Open-world Overhaul’ and through it NPC traffic will trade, mine and fight just as you do.
Pick-up missions to receive rewards in the form of ships modules and blueprints and construct defences, or go at it you own way by mining and trading. You’ll manage forces across multiple play areas all running realtime in a universe teaming with life. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

This sort of thing is always nice to hear and echoes my own experiences. The more platforms/compilers/contexts you can build/run your game on or in, the more chances you have to find new perspectives on things you may not have previously identified as problematic - even when you're using a closed source third party engine like Unity.

I'm still not sure what they mean when they use the term "open world".
The game looks like a space strategy game. Where and how does the "open world" aspect kick in?

Quoting: devlandI'm still not sure what they mean when they use the term "open world".You're not forced down a set path, you essentially do what you want.

That's great to hear. Something more to show to all those Windows trolls sieging Linux threads in Steam. They might profit.

So the games have persistence? I had the impression you played games like in every other 4x/strategy game. Aren't the games session based? Aren't there maps? Is there a universe in which you can travel?

Quoting: devlandI'm not entirely sure what you're getting at. It's an open-world open-ended space game, you build up your fleet and do whatever you want by the looks of it.Quoting: liamdaweQuoting: devlandI'm still not sure what they mean when they use the term "open world".You're not forced down a set path, you essentially do what you want.

Are those actual three dimensional battles I'm seeing, or pseudo?
