VO 1.8.303 includes:

- Fixed crash when logging in, mostly on the Android version.
- Improved scrolling vs. panning on small screen Android devices such as phones.
- Improved usability of a couple of menus on small screen high resolution Android devices.
- The Purchasing menu no longer shows that mobile free-play accounts are in Trial mode.

Some smaller, iterative fixes we wanted to get out there, while we're still working on the Big Stuff. Some of this development has taken longer than expected over the last couple of weeks (such is the life of software development), due to changes, tweaks in design, bug-tracking and so on. But, overall we've been making good progress, and the work is all the better for the additional time. Expect a few things:

* We're still experimenting with the mobile business model. This is a big one. More to come on that.
* Infrastructural changes are in the works, to make the game server scale even better.
* Additional polish to the early game, as well as a lot of other common cases. As many as we can hit in a short period of time.
* Improvements to station and national defenses, strike forces and the like, to improve balance in some situations. There will still be No Safe Place, but the implementation of that gradient may be tweaked a bit.
* Upcoming new release announcements.
* Lots of other things (yes, content drops, Trident stuff, bot stuff, other stuff).

That's all for now, we'll post more detail as it becomes closer to release. Have a great weekend, everyone.
