Hey everyone,
todays Episode will unfortunately be pretty late, so not that much early access for Patrons, as CRS-18 and the Starhopper hover test were in to the office pretty late and I am still editing.
As soon, as I can say anything more precise, I'll let you know first!
Thanks for the patience and have a great day! :)
