Update #96: Widening Net
Despite the best efforts of the faction militaries, the Hunna Collective's revolutionary effort continues to eke out an existence of the edge indie zones and harsh wilderness environments. With Update #96, your Star Trader captain can chose to become further involved with the shadowy, violent revolutionaries. We've added 8 new mission types to help support the Hunna, mostly in the form of dropping off a variety of dangerous or high value goods to their camps in the wilderness. It is a good place to start and opens the door to all kinds of more pro (and anti!) Hunna missions in near term updates. Notably, any Contact who has the Hunna Agent Trait will also start cycling these missions into their set.
We have heard a lot of feedback about the challenge of re-hiring basic crew (Pilots, Navs, E-Techs) as the best you can get out of a spice hall is often level 1 to 3. When your crew is already level 20, this can be a hard pill to swallow. With this update, we've now cycled more of the core jobs into Contacts, allowing you to possibly recruit these characters to your crew at as high as level 8 or all the way up to 11 with the right set of Rumors or Contact Traits. If you're looking for E-Techs, find an Intelligence Officer or Archivist. For Hyerwarp Navs, check with a local Spicetender, as the navigators are known for their love of the spice hall. Finally, Flight Academy Provost (Alta Mesa only) now hire Pilots instead of Quartermasters. We've boosted the Starport Boom Rumor now to all provide Engineers in the spice hall if you visit the faction holding. And one more -- Science Officer Contacts have gained the ability to hire out Engineers as well. Overall, its an exciting set of changes, making core crew more accessible and also widening the total number of Contacts offering the Recruit service which is fun for all.
Both the Aeternum Vindex and Scout Cutter ships have received improvements through their components in this release. We've increased the Navigation, Pilot and Safety Rating on 2400 Mass Void Engines to reduce critical accident damage. This will allow both ships to take better advantage of their Speed, pass more tests and overall be more effective in travel, combat and operations.
We have now added confirmation steps along the way throughout the Faen storylines when you are about to take a major branch. The power players in the Faen court are jealous and some will not brook you working with other members of the court. At these points when you are about to limit your future options for the story, we now have helpful warnings in place to allow you to weigh your decision accordingly.

Following our roadmap publish, we are now hammering down on the content expansion goals and marching toward our next big feature addition -- Salvaging Orbitals and Wrecks. With this update, we've added a new mission giver type as well as 8 new missions -- you can now start to actively support the Hunna. There will be a lot more coming in this department on both sides of the line. We've made some exciting changes to further widen the availability of Contact recruits and different Job types, improved some M2400 ship engines, and caught up with the most requested fix for the Faen storyline -- confirmations on branches! It's a big release with balancing, new content, bug fixes and more.
If you enjoy the relentless update pace, leave a review and tell a friend!
Support the Revolution
Despite the best efforts of the faction militaries, the Hunna Collective's revolutionary effort continues to eke out an existence of the edge indie zones and harsh wilderness environments. With Update #96, your Star Trader captain can chose to become further involved with the shadowy, violent revolutionaries. We've added 8 new mission types to help support the Hunna, mostly in the form of dropping off a variety of dangerous or high value goods to their camps in the wilderness. It is a good place to start and opens the door to all kinds of more pro (and anti!) Hunna missions in near term updates. Notably, any Contact who has the Hunna Agent Trait will also start cycling these missions into their set.
Wider Recruitment
We have heard a lot of feedback about the challenge of re-hiring basic crew (Pilots, Navs, E-Techs) as the best you can get out of a spice hall is often level 1 to 3. When your crew is already level 20, this can be a hard pill to swallow. With this update, we've now cycled more of the core jobs into Contacts, allowing you to possibly recruit these characters to your crew at as high as level 8 or all the way up to 11 with the right set of Rumors or Contact Traits. If you're looking for E-Techs, find an Intelligence Officer or Archivist. For Hyerwarp Navs, check with a local Spicetender, as the navigators are known for their love of the spice hall.

We've boosted the Starport Boom Rumor now to all provide Engineers in the spice hall if you visit the faction holding. And one more -- Science Officer Contacts have gained the ability to hire out Engineers as well. Overall, its an exciting set of changes, making core crew more accessible and also widening the total number of Contacts offering the Recruit service which is fun for all.
Mass 2400 Balancing
Both the Aeternum Vindex and Scout Cutter ships have received improvements through their components in this release. We've increased the Navigation, Pilot and Safety Rating on 2400 Mass Void Engines to reduce critical accident damage. This will allow both ships to take better advantage of their Speed, pass more tests and overall be more effective in travel, combat and operations.
Faen Branching
We have now added confirmation steps along the way throughout the Faen storylines when you are about to take a major branch. The power players in the Faen court are jealous and some will not brook you working with other members of the court. At these points when you are about to limit your future options for the story, we now have helpful warnings in place to allow you to weigh your decision accordingly.

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.
