Good morning, it's October 3rd, 2026.
The pattern this week is two releases in two days that change how players move, what planets look like, and whether the browser build starts cleanly. Version 2026.10.2 was the forecast release, version 2026.10.3 is the climbing release, with no protocol or terrain generation break.
First, traversal is now grip-based, not just solid-or-not. In PR 2198 you jump at a wall and keep pushing to hold on, then climb up, down and sideways, with pull-up over the edge, fatigue shown through slowdown, view shake and breathing rather than a HUD meter, plus gloves and claws as suit modules. That pairs with…
Second, orbit now promises what landing delivers. PR 2180 builds planet views from live planet data, with ambient weather simulation per system, cloud shells, fronts, lightning, and matching glyphs on charts and maps. The same push shows in smaller fixes: engine plumes align to real engines instead of the rear door…
Third, browser startup got hardened. PR 2196 fixes ghost images with a black clear camera, holds single-player behind the loading screen until game data is ready, and compresses the JSON download, while PR 2167 keeps update dialogs above the…
