Hello everyone! Version 1.17 is now available! It is focused on bug fixes reported by the community and a few changes based on feedback! Translators: Use the In-Place Language Update feature in the Edit Language menu to update your existing translations! This will make changes to the translation.tsv file in the folder. When the file has been updated, you should continue editing on that new file going forwards. If you have any questions feel free to let us know. Changes
- Changed the internal logic of PiBot defensive mode to make it more usable and effective in ship combat
- Main turrets are now affected by the turret charge speed stat like other ship turrets
- Main turrets now show the timing bonus damage percent on screen when relevant
- Surviving "Special Training" during the Fluffy Biscuit sales competition will now zero out your Fluffy Biscuit reputation and remove your faction alignment
- Dialogue text size for the NPC dialogue window now scaled with the UI scale setting
- Controls menu now has an option to adjust mouse scroll wheel sensitivity
- Exosuit environment text is now run through the localization system (ex. HIGH TEMP, ACIDIC)

PULSAR: Lost Colony Linux [1.81 G]
Team up to operate an advanced starship and explore a randomized galaxy falling into chaos. Each player assumes a role aboard the ship: Captain, Pilot, Scientist, Weapons Specialist and Engineer. Coordination between your crewmembers will be essential in order to survive the perils that await you.
Control the various stations that run your ship. Reroute power between ship systems, scan alien planets for lifeforms, run powerful programs to change the tide of battle, or start up the warp drive to escape a conflict you cannot win. The strategies you use are up to you—or your Captain.
Embark on missions, investigate abandoned stations, and scavenge for components that could aid you in your voyage. Teleport down to the surfaces of alien planets, where you may face extreme environments and dangerous creatures. Trek across the galaxy, and discover what lies on its fringes.
PULSAR: Lost Colony is our attempt to create a fully cooperative space-faring experience, because it’s one of the games we've always wanted to play.
Not at this time. We are planning on integrating one in the future, however we want to make sure most of the ship systems are finalized before building it. If you want to learn about how to play and use the various ship systems, you can click here to view the manual!
Yes! This is our written permission to do so.
We like using the term simulation because it helps convey the fact that each starship is a large collection of systems and mechanics working together and reacting to its environment. However, this is a game first and foremost. Because of that, we aren't afraid to go outside the realms of reality if it makes the experience more enjoyable. This is not a 100% realistic simulation, it's a game with simulated elements.
PULSAR was designed from the ground up to be cooperative in nature. None of the mechanics are prepared to handle the specific challenges of PvP combat. We believe that this focus on pure cooperation will enable us to create an experience that is unique and feasible by our small team.
We are focusing on a multiplayer experience at this time. We do offer AI crew bots that can take over unfilled roles, but they are very much a work in progress. The game is very teamwork heavy so the recommended experience is with multiple people. If you looking for a more complete singleplayer experience, you may want to consider waiting until the AI is fully developed.

The game is currently under development. New systems and mechanics are still being added and tweaked, and there is not a large amount of in-game content to see yet.
If you prefer to play more complete games and have no desire to be part of the testing / feedback process of a game in development, we highly recommend waiting until the game is more complete before considering a purchase.
