Sector's Edge developer, Vercidium, recently released a new update that added trials and customs lobbies and fixed some known issues. To make your own custom lobby, just enter an empty server and click on “Claim Lobby'' in the options. Custom lobbies can also be password protected, which makes them private and secure. Some rendering issues with snow and C4 have been fixed by the update.
