▶

Greetings Federation Starbase Commanders, Hot on the heels of Officers Unleashed, v0.2.0.2 is preparing to land! In this update, we've tinkered with difficulty, speed, and powers and made some more Quality of Life changes. Your current saves aren't affected in this update: 0.2.0.0+ play throughs are intact and supported. In case you missed it, we released v0.2.0.1 as a hotfix earlier this week, which corrected an officer that was appearing in game without his powers. Poor Zulf and his memory wipe. We appreciate your feedback, folks. Thanks again for all your posts and reports! General Bug Fixes and Enhancements: - Various typo fixes in powers. - Repair Drone Overdrive II and III had incorrect number of uses. - Propulsion Lab now contains Transwarp Drive Improvement activities (improve your fleet's travel time!). - Fixed bug with tasks leaking into other rooms on the starbase. Icky. - Save files can now be tagged with a custom label! Quest/Mission & Economy: - We heard you: The Chimera and its minions now travel much slower towards the station, allowing more time to prepare for its arrival. - The Chruul fleets now travel slightly slower towards their targets. - The Yabblings fleet speed has been increased. - Reduced strength of Spire ground combat squad, as well as other higher level space monsters. Ships/Officers & Powers: - Slightly reduced the damage of enemy Tier 3 ships. - Slightly improved effectiveness of Repair Drone Overdrive. - Supercharge Polarity is once again an AoE attack. Thank you all so much for supporting us during our Early Access! We're working super hard on getting Act 2 and Act 3 out there. As noted in the v0.2.0.0 patch notes, we hope to exit Early Access in the late August to early September timeframe. To New Terra and beyond!

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.
