Greetings Captains!
We know it’s been a VERY long time since we had an update. We have been working in the lab every single day on making Star Command an amazing experience and we are ready to start rolling out beta.
We just put the Beta on the (surprise) BETA branch for testing. We have done our own internal testing as well as some test with streamers to squash as much as we could. We are going to be using the beta branch to roll out more bug fixes, improvements and gameplay tweaks based on the feedback we are getting from our analytics and in the steam forums.
If you do download the beta please feel free to post your feedback in the beta forum that we have started here.
So whats new? Everything.
Below are some of the MAJOR areas of new features or drastic improvements.
Completely rewritten support for low-resolution screens. The GUI overall should be much more predictable and stable.
Added 9 new classes to the game: Engineer, Tactical, Science, Handyman, Scout, Doctor, Machinist, Soldier and Hacker.
Brand new crew job menu for choosing your crew members career path.
New perks menu for upgrading your crew members
New crew desires. Your crew will continue to want to grow and acquire new things like beds, art and other unique items and experiences.
Over 15 new missions.
Over 15 new weapons, items and upgrades.
New stores, new vendor missions, new stations.
Star Command Report Card: receive bonuses based on your daily performance and pay your crew their daily paycheck (or don’t…)
Completely revised happiness log and events. Crew should be much clearer on what they want and what you need to do to make it happen.
New indicators for helping you decide what each crew member should be using.
Healing and repair automation.
Countless cosmetic improvements to every area of the UI.
Brand new options menu brings the game to the 21st century.
We also have hundreds of bug fixes, tweaks and other improvements that we won’t bother listing here.
To be clear, we are aware of many bugs and will continue fixing these until we roll out the full beta in December.You can see our current Trello list of things we are working on here. This is always available to the public and you can see our daily/weekly/monthly progress.
We hope you enjoy the progress and we can’t wait to roll this out to the general public when it is ready.
Enjoy!

Star Command Galaxies is the ultimate starship simulator. Become Captain and recruit your crew, build your ship, explore a randomly generated universe and battle alien ships across the galaxy.
You start from humble beginnings in your very own shuttle, taking on various missions at starbases located on the galactic map. As you complete your tasks you will earn money, xp and equipment to help you hire new crew members and purchase a larger ship. Continue cleaning the stars of the vermin that inhabit it including zombies and space pirates.
With your success comes more challenges. Keeping your crew happy is critical to your success. You must keep them fed, well rested and entertained or they will pick up new "quirks" to their personality. A good captain will see their crew earn "perks" - personality bonuses that will help you battle your foes.
New enemies will arrive to challenge you and your crew and it will be up to you to create the ultimate vessel to defeat them.
Star Command Galaxies will be regularly updated with new races, missions, planets, equipment, ships and much more!
