Update #89: Bleeding Edge
We have fix a huge pile of bugs. Too many to list in the change log, though we have listed the most important ones. We've fixed a set of story bugs, including the fact that for some players, the vatborn boss was not appearing.
First up, we've added new eyewear accessory. This military targeting headset might include a vision kit or a link to your firearm to enable targeting assist. It looks good on soldiers, it looks good with hats, it looks good when you're winning too.
In the great game of the factions, intel can be king. For those Contacts who don't naturally offer to buy Intel, we've now added a new Contact Trailt: Data Hound. Any Contact with this Trait has a voracious appetite for Intel and will buy it at a +15% price. We've also adjusted the Techno Addict Contact Trait to grant a +10% Intel price bonus as well. In both cases, you only get the bonus if the Contact Trait is not hidden.
We've heard a lot of great feedback in the last 5 days and are moving quickly on as much of it as we can. Update #1 includes 2 new Talents -- one for Diplomat and one for Spy -- that allow these professional negotiators or professional sneaks to reduce Reputation loss when doing missions of their specialty. The Spy's Stealth Op Talent will reduce Rep loss if you use the Stealth Skill to complete the mission while Diplomat's Adept Mediation reduces Rep loss if you use Negotiation in a legal fashion (not bribery). We've also adjusted how the Pirate Menacing Demeanor Talent works so that it only reduce Rep loss in a similar fashion -- any time you use Intimidate or bribery during a mission.
A shout out to the community bark thread here on the forum -- we've leveraged those suggestions to add another 50 barks to the game, short commentary given by the crew whenever encountering a rumor. We've also loaded another big batch of legendary stories from our KickStarter backers into the stories told in the spice hall -- hover over storyteller alerts to see the extended versions!
We have made two important bug fixes that are going to cause balance changes for players. We fixed a bug in orbital ops (spying) that was allowing the use of over 100% Skill dice. This was much to the players advantage and ship damage and crew damage cards are going to be more dangerous now. We also fixed a bug in ship combat Talents that restore HP and Morale which was causing them to fail to heal the most wounded first. So, this fix is greatly to the player's advantage.

Welcome all new captains, the frontier awaits! Thanks to everyone who has stepped onto the bridge of their spaceship and given the order to rise up into the void. We've had a banner weekend here and are now ready to get back to business of expanding and improving the game. This will be Update #89, and it's a doozy. We had 88 updates in Early Access and in order to be able to reference updates ("we added that in update 62") we're not going to reset the count.
Also, we'd like to dedicate this update to everyone posting feedback and leaving a review. It wouldn't be so awesome without your help!
Bug Fixes and Patches
We have fix a huge pile of bugs. Too many to list in the change log, though we have listed the most important ones. We've fixed a set of story bugs, including the fact that for some players, the vatborn boss was not appearing.
Military Targeting Headset
First up, we've added new eyewear accessory. This military targeting headset might include a vision kit or a link to your firearm to enable targeting assist. It looks good on soldiers, it looks good with hats, it looks good when you're winning too.
New Intel Trait
In the great game of the factions, intel can be king. For those Contacts who don't naturally offer to buy Intel, we've now added a new Contact Trailt: Data Hound. Any Contact with this Trait has a voracious appetite for Intel and will buy it at a +15% price. We've also adjusted the Techno Addict Contact Trait to grant a +10% Intel price bonus as well. In both cases, you only get the bonus if the Contact Trait is not hidden.
Diplomatic and Stealth Missions
We've heard a lot of great feedback in the last 5 days and are moving quickly on as much of it as we can. Update #1 includes 2 new Talents -- one for Diplomat and one for Spy -- that allow these professional negotiators or professional sneaks to reduce Reputation loss when doing missions of their specialty. The Spy's Stealth Op Talent will reduce Rep loss if you use the Stealth Skill to complete the mission while Diplomat's Adept Mediation reduces Rep loss if you use Negotiation in a legal fashion (not bribery). We've also adjusted how the Pirate Menacing Demeanor Talent works so that it only reduce Rep loss in a similar fashion -- any time you use Intimidate or bribery during a mission.

Bugs that Rebalance
We have made two important bug fixes that are going to cause balance changes for players. We fixed a bug in orbital ops (spying) that was allowing the use of over 100% Skill dice. This was much to the players advantage and ship damage and crew damage cards are going to be more dangerous now. We also fixed a bug in ship combat Talents that restore HP and Morale which was causing them to fail to heal the most wounded first. So, this fix is greatly to the player's advantage.

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. Will you fly as a pirate terrorizing shipping lanes, join the solar wars as a military captain, or track targets across the stars as a fearsome bounty hunter?

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.
