Chris Roberts' Cloud Imperium Games released a batch of new screenshots and videos showcasing some rather interesting upcoming elements for the game.

First of all, we get a batch of screenshots from update 3.0, which will introduce the game's planetary tech. Alongside the screenshots we also get a video showcasing of the schedule for the update has been determined, giving an interesting look at the workflow of the studios under the Cloud Imperium Games umbrella.

The detailed schedule can be found here, and we learn that the currently estimated release date for 3.0 is on June 29th.

On top of that, we also get a new episode of Around the Verse, focused on the Javelin class of playable destroyers, of which you can see a rather impressive video at the 11:17 mark in the second video at the bottom of the post.

Before you head downstairs to enjoy the assets, including some really impressive images of the game's upcoming planets, do keep in mind that the author of this article is a backer of the game.

Now that we paid homage to full disclosure, check out the screenshots and videos below.
