With just five days to go before the start of early access to their new ship, the Corsair, Gutamaya has started its marketing drive. We have a look at the specifications, and take one for a spin.

What's the silliest outpost in the Galaxy? It used to be easy to answer that question, but with the coming of Colonisation, there are a surprising number of new candidates for the title. Let's have a look at a few of them.

Gutamaya plans to launch its new rocket-ship, the Corsair, on Tuesday 8th April, and it's promising something that will make both its own Clipper and the Faulcon DeLacy Python into yesterday's news.

Brewer Corporation is trying to put things right. Having announced last week that system economies rely on the supply chain being clustered round a single landable planet, Brewer says it is now investigating ways to expand what it describes the "route to market" to encompass facilities elsewhere within the star system.

Brewer Corporation says that it has been struggling to get all the newly-commissioned starports and outposts online, and that some of the space stations built this week won't become fully operational until next week.

Brewer's fleet of colonisation support hubs has finally been deployed, after a delay of several weeks.

Colonisation is back, and some important new fixes are on the way. The Distant Worlds 3 people want to colonise Orion, and there's a new, "improved" Hutton Orbital for the most dedicated pilots to visit.

The partially-suspended colonisation trial is hailed as a "remarkable success". There are growing signs that there may be Thargoids living among us. And we get some bare metal paintjobs for the four new ships.

We visit the Lantern Light starport, which is orbiting a neutron star in Lalande 25224 very, very fast.

Colonisation of new systems remains paused, but there's better news for System Architects who already have a system, as the first colonies come online.
