Any idea when we will see the next update come out?

LOL... such eagerness. We're still twisting MM's arm to add things. Hang in there. If he'll do a few more things we'll have a really great update for you in a few more weeks.

But it has to seem bug-free, as well. Just 'seem' of course. We know that someone else will almost certainly find bugs once it's out. But any obvious bugs we notice have to be fixed. So, there's no way to give an estimate on the date of the next patch.

"We're still twisting MM's arm to add things".

Well your at it, how about twisting real hard to get him to add a 'Damage Type' to the CompEnhancement.txt line so we can have 'armor skipping' mounts etc

Thanks for the reply, Baron.

I'm really looking forward to some of the changes/additions and fixes listed in v1.68 - 1.72 thus far.

If he succeeds in adding multiple damage-types for weapons I think the damage-type mount will be doable. But it's also a question of how many other things he has to do, like fix bugs.

I would love to see an option where I can transfer supply from one ship to another. For simplictiy sake it would be enough if this is an human-only (no AI involved) option.

A second thing which would be fine are weapons with area-effect

And a third thing would be the possibility to create components which can create science points or intel points or can modifiy these.

Another fine 4th thing would be a spaceyard designed for building units only (like troops or fighters etc)

I know, why don't we replace all the components in the text file with one generic "Component", and then by means of an incredibly complex CompEnhancments file and hundreds of mounts this component can be used for everything.

Sorry, just got a little carried away there.
