v0.1.0.3 HOTFIX: - Fixed Chimera mission bugs. - Fixed a bug with 'zombie fleets' causing errors on load. As discussed in our patch approach notes, this is a Quality of Life patch: your saved games are intact and won't be marked Legacy.

What's New

- Retreat from Space Combat! In over your head? Now you can tuck your tail between your legs and bug out. However, be prepared to take some damage as you make your hasty getaway. - Alien Factions are now resistant and vulnerable to specific status effects (ie. Chruul ships are resistant to Weapons Disruption but more vulnerable to Hull Breached). - Ship Affinity Bonuses now grant bonus resistance to status effects instead of slightly nonsensical bonuses versus alien races you haven't even fought yet. - You can now rename your Ships! - You can also rename your Green Shirts, for their admittedly short lives. (RIP Cadet Pickles. We barely knew you.) - Greenshirts have gained new and juicy ways to die. Keep an eye out for them! - Trading Cards are now available for Halcyon 6!

General Bug Fixes and Enhancements

- Reduced the difficulty of random Pirate / Chruul encounters while travelling through space. - Time will now resume after you dismiss non-critical popups. - Fixed a bug with Officers having difficulty levelling after Level 4 and 5 while the XP bar showed as full. - You can now zoom out to an expanded view of the Starbase. - Officer barks in combat should no longer delay actions. - That one blown out, kinda loud explosion in combat? Gone!

Quest/Mission & Economy

- Slightly reduced frequency of Chruul Portal fleet spawns. - Slightly increased Chruul Portal spawn rates once all destroyed. - Revamped sector descriptions. - Various and sundry, yet subtle, balance tweaks.

Ships/Officers & Powers

- Increased damage for Shield Disruptor. - Slightly increased damage for Upload Virus. - Decreased resist % for almost all powers. - Slightly reduced Weapons Overloaded damage increase. - Reduced recovery time on Doom Cannon power. - Drone Swarm now nullifies buffs. - Green Shirts have 25% more Health. Have fun out there!

The Game

On the edge of Terran space lies Halcyon 6, a derelict starbase left behind by a mysterious precursor race. Your mission is to reclaim the derelict station and rebuild it.

A mysterious alien force is making a beeline towards Earth and this starbase is the best chance for the New Terran Federation to establish new alliances, research new technologies and otherwise figure out a way to stop the impending invasion.

Using only the resources you can salvage from the derelict station and gathered from nearby star systems, it’s up to you to rebuild the starbase to lead the Terran Republic’s scientific research, exploration and diplomatic efforts on the edge of known space.

Halcyon 6 is a passion project who’s design is inspired by our years spent playing classic games like Star Control, Master of Orion, X-COM, Civilization and new classics like FTL.

Features:

Base Building: spend resources to build station facilities (rooms) to enhance your production and technological capabilities, or build ships to help you control more territory
Exploration: assign your fleets to nearby star clusters, where they can handle emerging enemy threats, do missions for alien factions or secure bonus resources
Crew Management: assign crew to station facilities to greatly improve their output efficiency, or to ships where they can contribute in unique ways to combat, missions and events
Deep Tactical Combat: fight tactical ship or ground battles to resolve hostile events, create a foothold in the sector and ultimately defeat the enemy mothership!
Story Events: based on game criteria like rooms-built, alien diplomacy scores or officer traits/skills, the game will produce story events (often with multiple choice outcomes) that can lead to combat, time-related applied bonuses/negatives, officer attribute changes or any number of crazy in-game stories.

Project Goals

Unlimited Replayability: Each playthrough has players dealing with a new randomly generated derelict station, surrounding galaxy, crew recruits, and alien factions

Motley Crew: Each crew member has unlimited potential for acquiring unique behaviours, traits and abilities, for better or for worse. Making the best use of your dysfunctional crew will be one of the keys to success. Who should be your main Science Officer? The insomniac that works insane hours but has an addictive personality or the agoraphobic mad genius?

Encounters of the Weird Kind: There are 6 alien factions in Halcyon 6 and they are all quite different with varying objectives and personalities. Only your wit and your crew’s skills will help you navigate the diplomatic waters to gain them as key allies or valuable trading partners.
