Update #13: Sharpen the Blade
A significant balance change is included in this release for Boarding Talents. While in the past, only the Boarding Talents for the 4 crew members who boarded the enemy ship were available on victory, we've opened this up to a wider crew selection if you are at Range 1. In this case, any crew member on the ship can use a Boarding Talent, giving much more utility to the Mechanic and E-Tech Talents. Of course, you do have to close all the way to range 1, so get your Twitch Surge ready, boarders! You can still board with Talents like the Gunners and Bounty Hunters from farther ranges, you only your 4 boarders can use Boarding Talents. We've updated the crew selection screen based on player feedback to get the HP and Morale bars visible for the selected crew, making choices to swap out easier when you have wounded among the auto-select set.
In a few areas with this release, we've smoothed out the curves or cut down on RNG. Travel events in the early game have been smoothed out to be significantly less impactful. We've also removed RNG from the healing Talents, which were causing some reports that they were not working.
We've rebuilt the dialog showing details on a Quadrant in the Quadrant map as well updating the main status screen in prep for the upcoming ship component and upgrade UI rebuild. The on-going war for tooltips continues, and we've pushed in 16 new ones into the status screen stack. We are moving on toward new game now and will be annotating those screens to the dickens.

A huge thanks goes out to all of our Captains for your generous feedback, suggestions and bug reports. The lively and engaging community here, on our Discord and across all our channels is dumping more Water-Fuel into our metaphorical Void Engines. Order another round of spice beer, because we've got more updates!
Before launching into the fun, I hope you'll take a minute to share STF with a friend and leave a review. We promised a relentless pace, and we're burning the engines hot to deliver. Many thanks for helping to share the game.

Choose your path by assembling and commanding your custom crew and spaceship in a constantly evolving galaxy torn by internal strife, political intrigue, and alien threats.

First there was the Exodus – when survivors of a great war left the ruins of the Galactic Core behind in search of a new home in the stars. Scattered worlds were claimed on the fringe of the galaxy. Each pocket of survivors held on to their isolated set of worlds while trying to rebuild under the great law of Shalun. Three centuries later, technology has brought them back together again. Discovery of the hyperwarp has bridged what was once unimaginable distances between far-flung colonies, long-lost families, and political factions.
With that reunification has come great economic prosperity. The hyperwarp reestablished the transportation of cargo, goods, and technologies between the quadrants – but it has also brought great strife. Political rivalries have been rekindled, blood has been shed in age-old feuds, and the fires of war have been stoked. Amidst the political infighting, a ruthless revolution is rising – and the fervent explorers of the hyperwarp have awoken something that was better left asleep.
Great conflict is a time of great opportunity. For you, an aspiring Star Trader Captain who has just been given your charter, now is the time to capitalize on that opportunity.

Our very first game, Star Traders RPG, took hundreds of thousands of gamers on an interstellar adventure. The success of Star Traders and its overwhelming positive reception helped to launch Trese Brothers Games. It was the adventures of our community’s star-crossed captains that put us on a trajectory to share more of our worlds, ideas, and dreams through digital games.
We set out to capture the loneliness, bravery, and camaraderie of people living together in a spaceship sailing across the stars. It’s time to take the helm and breathe life into the these stories, characters, and stars.
It is with great pride that after the release of four other games in the Star Traders universe, we’ve created a sequel to the original Star Traders RPG. We reached out to our fan base of Star Traders Captains with our latest KickStarter campaign and pitched our ambitious plan for an all-new open world sci-fi RPG.
Step onto the bridge of your starship, take to the stars, and create your own story in Star Traders: Frontiers. Instead of being our first foray, we have brought all of the knowledge and experience to our latest and by far most ambitious project.
- Explore a rich, open universe: Discover endless procedurally-generated galactic maps, meet unique characters, and take on enemies to conquer the galaxy!
- Become an intergalactic captain: Take on the role of a spy, smuggler, explorer, pirate, merchant, bounty hunter, and more (21 jobs total)!
- Customize your own spaceship: Choose from more than 300 upgrades and build your very own vessel to venture across the vast reaches of space.
- Assemble and tailor a loyal crew: Assign talents and equip specialized gear for every spaceship crew member.
- Experience an ever-changing narrative: Decide to make friends or foes with other factions and influence political, economic, and personal vendettas.
