Release notes here. Lots of good fixes and tweaks in this one! There are finally random AI types that you can select in the lobby (Random Easier, Random Moderate, Random Hard, Random Brutal, Random Any), which is a long-requested feature that the first game had. The lobby now also sorts the AI types by difficulty…
It’s nice to do a beta when needed, but it’s also nice to keep that period brief. We found a number of problems in 1.015 that we fixed and pushed in two non-version-incrementing releases that we just wrapped into the older release notes. Release notes for the new build are here. They’re very small by…
Sometimes when we introduce changes that are sufficiently large, we like to run it through a beta branch first. This is one of those releases, with the changes to the Outguard. We’d love it if lots of folks would give this a try, so that we can feel confident bringing this back off the beta…
Release notes here. This one has a lot of cool stuff that should make more playstyles viable. It may make the game a little easier than we want, but one step at a time. Balance Swinging Your Direction A Bit For Once Next release will have some exciting changes to the outguard that StarKelp has designed…
Release notes here. Lots more stuff, and there was an intermediate hotfix build as well in here. Main new things: The AI now writes you a chat message as well as giving you the voice taunt. So if you have sound off, or voice off, or just have trouble understanding it in the din of battle……
Release notes here. This is a big one, in terms of having a lot of items. They fall into six main categories: Continued UI polish. Some experimental changes to group-move from a new volunteer dev. Tweaks to the Intel screen and some new beginner objectives for ARS, GCA and flagship capturing to teach people that those…
Release notes here. Relatively small release, and honestly the largest improvements are to the metal flows detail screen. But something about hacking, and in particularly spire archives, always makes me think of this scene from Star Trek TNG. “I just love scanning for life forms” pops into my head in daily life much more often than…
Release notes here. Lots of stuff in this one! Also, there’s a new interview with me and Rob chatting over at the eXplorminate’s podcast, if you’re interested. There’s a new option under the debug settings that lets you forcefully change the difficulty of the AIs if you want to, after having already started the game. Later…
Release notes here. Some players have noted that they’re able to deep-strike way into enemy territory with what feels like too little response from the AI. So… now the AI has a new AI Reserve force (in new campaigns only) that it can bring in to help defend its planets when it detects you deep-striking. A…
Release notes here. Duplicate Ship Lines In One Fleet The marquee feature in this build is that you have full freedom with your fleets now to combine the same ship type into multiple slots of a single fleet if you want. Aka, if you have three lines of snipers or bombers, you can just slap those…
