Running a day late on this update. Has been a busy week. Anyway, to the update.

With this update Modding API has been implemented into Space Engineers. This will open up new possibilities to modders and allowing them more control through C# scripts.

A new fighter cockpit made by “Darth Biomech” has been added to the game, as well as re-loadable missile launchers for small ships.
