EXPLORE THE GALAXY! The galaxy is a big place – trust us, we’ve done the math! We’ve connected the wires from Stellar Cartography (and Isaac’s bridge station) to the helm, allowing you to go beyond the initial library of space locations and explore the galaxy! Use the long range sensors to explore the neighborhood around your current position, zoom in to other stars, planets (and even moons), and then plot a course and engage Quantum Drive! As part of this, we’ve added several new space locations, including additional nebulae designs, a new Supernova location, other star types, and a new Terre

The reports of our death are GREATLY exaggerated. It's been more than a year since our last release, and I'm sure that's led to a lot of speculation about the status of the project, especially since the PREVIOUS year saw several releases corresponding with the ramp up to New Horizons. In short -- life happens. Several of our team have taken on new professional endeavors within the industry. They are definitely still with us, and help out as their schedules permit...we save the really hard stuff for them! ;) The other thing that happened was the series itself going on hiatus.

MORE THAN JUST A NEW PAINTJOB! The Orville: New Horizons introduced a completely overhauled look for the interior of the starship.

To start the event, simply go to the Quantum Control console on the Bridge and go to the 'Tuhroz Ghul' location.

Also, this is intended to be a single-player event, and we can't guarantee that the event will function correctly in multiplayer, as it isn't designed to do so. We've also fixed some more of the high-priority general bugs in thi
