- Distant Worlds – Erik Rutins of Matrix popped onto Quarter to Three and shared some Let’s Play videos from Das24680 and Larry Monte showcasing the game, to watch while we wait for the next expansion. ;)
- Strike Suit Zero – Thanks to Grave for letting me know that Born Ready Games is looking for folks to test the game’s mod tools over on Steam.

- Star Trek Online – There’s a new dev blog post about dilithium.
- Endless Space – The official game forums have some info about the next expansion.

In related news, there’s a fun DOS Screenshot Challenge which includes some classic space games (the site also has tests for Amiga, Sega Megadrive and the ZX Spectrum). The Concept Ships blog has some great art from Rico Kersten. Finally, the Arcen folks are selling the soundtrack to A Valley Without Wind 2, which is pretty cool.
That’s it for today folks. Thanks for visiting, and have an awesome day!
