Re: When Is the update?
We should see it drop either later this week or next week if all things are going accordingly (and as of right now, they are).
Re: When Is the update?
The update had a slight delay. While it was meant to drop before the end of the month, the team is working hard on ensuring all loose ends are wrapped up and working as intended. I'd be surprised if we didn't see the update drop within a week, two weeks tops.
The developers themselves may have more to say on this delay, soon. Thank you for your patience!

Re: Future Ship Unlockables in new update
I'd like a "Science Vessal" type of ship.
Something like shields that recharge slowly even when being hit, and can't use the normal primary/second weapons (other than enhancement ones) but instead has its own more support oriented weapons to use with drones or something. And high energy, to use that one item that explodes using energy.
Something large, yet can also use the Scout's cloak.
Maybe fast turning, but weak inertia dampeners, so it has a weird mix of maneuverable yet heavy feeling.

Re: Differences of faction view
Will there be a warship of their own?SPOILERS AHEAD
Also, is there another faction to be added after defeating Gorc on the future update?
Admiral Gorc is a Warship of their own, with the ability to launch Enhanced fighters, fire a Thermal Laser and move around the battlefield. Unless you're talking of more warship-like ships, in which case that's entirely in the hands of the developers and would not be revealed until the time is right. Personally, I think it would make more sense to create additional fighters and corvette-sized enemies to add variety to the current gameplay loop and leave the warship-type ships as they are. We'll see, though.
Another faction might be over-complicating the current formula; I think it's unlikely we'll see another faction in future DLC. But who knows, with new ships, gear, locations and story content it's possible we could see a new powerful group trying to lay claim to the Beltegrades after Gorc's defeat. It's another one of those questions that are in the hands of the developers; just have to be patient to find out!
Re: Differences of faction view
I just can't help but wonder about that.. In the future, will there be a Warship of their own version or is it replaced by another?SPOILERS AHEAD
The Colonial Warships are trailing the player because Admiral Gorc is trying to find and destroy all of the clones, likely searching for the clone-creation facility as well.
After Gorc is defeated, the Warships no longer follow the player because his plan has been dismantled. Only the Okkar Forces pursue. Why? Because the Okkar had prior claim to the Beltegrades before the war, so now they are tasked with policing the place from threats. As a CLONE created by a CLONING PROGRAM thought to have been SHUT DOWN since the war, you are a major target to the Okkar in the Sector.
But there's more to this story, it seems...we'll have to wait later this year! ;-)
Re: Warship Destruction
I think the developers have been pretty clear that they want the warship to be indestructible as a way to force the player our of the sector when the time is up.
I can however see the potential for something special like the "ancient weapon" being the only thing that can damage it. It would be an interesting gameplay mechanic but only as a very unique circumstance.

Re: New Story after Battle
Sector 13? Where did you hear that? Actually there are no plans for the game getting additional sectors. The current plan is to integrate additional features into the main game loop (7 sectors). But nothing is set in stone, really.Probably referring to the Kickstarter concept imagery.
With that said, it is important to distinguish the concept work from almost two years ago with the implemented work today. 13 Sectors may have sounded great back them, but it's implementation now may end up becoming unnecessarily repetitive and difficult without enhancing the overall experience.
Re: New Story after Battle
Having six Sectors paces the game really well as far as playtime expectations, which hover between 30 minutes and 2 hours per run. Adding more Sectors could really extend this time out.
With additional content, I think IF we were to see additional Sectors added, it would be quite minimal (maybe 8 Sectors plus a final Sector, for instance). But we'll see what happens!
