In seinem Blog verriet Cliff Harris, dass ein Update für Gratuitous Space Battles (auf Version 1.29) zur Verfügung steht und sich das Spiel selbstständig auf die neue Version aktualisieren wird. Folgende Veränderungen bringt der Patch mit sich:

The changes are thus:
1) Fixed a number of typos (thanks david!)
2) Game now automatically creates a new almost-empty default design if you delete every ship design, to prevent empty design list crash.
3) The range circles are now also shown on the currently dragged ship on the deployment screen
4) Fixed display bug where the tooltips over the deployment screens ship blueprints didnt take race and ship bonuses into account.
5) Fixed crash bug when changing races before you have ever viewed the choose mission screen.
6) Fixed bug relating to messages corrupting or not being deletable.
7) Tweaked the expert fleet for the multari mission to make them harder.
8) Added a new rebel ship hull -> The Midgard frigate.
9) Made the startup online message check multi-threaded, to speed up startup times.
