The expedition into deep space continues with Kerbal Space Program's latest update. Squad has released the latest version 'Beta Than Ever' today as a free update for existing players. The developer is calling this the first official beta release, bringing the space exploration game a step closer to its final release.

The new version of KSP will focus on the Kerbals, offering upgradable skills. Taking Kerbals on missions will increase various stats, such as advanced piloting, science gathering, and spacecraft repairs. Other features include a refined craft editor, new biomes, and new Mk3 SpacePlane parts. Squad is also continuing its outreach to mod creators, fully implementing Brian 'Arsonide' Provan's "Fine Print" mod into the game as a main feature.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
