I am definitely planning on releasing an update.
Since I want to significantly overhaul the technical details of the mod for 2.0, I originally wanted to finish the game first to be able to adequately balance eg. Stormwalls for spaceships and potential quality effects, but I guess making a public beta version with unfinished balancing couldn't hurt (and new planets are coming out fast enough that "finishing" the game might take a long time).
