Update #125: From the Front Lines
With this update, we've added 2 more unique environments to the set -- a unique and beautiful radiation outpost and a molten world wilderness. As we keep rolling out more and more of these, we are excited to see multiple variations now backing almost every type of environment and habitation level (wild, outpost, large urban). We'll keep adding more!
Across 4 more professions we've added 8 new Traits to give these captain types far superior abilities that help hone and focus career paths. As each of the four has crew combat Skills, they are come with one Trait focused on crew combat abilities and another focused on their other roles in the wider galaxy. Assassins are the exception to the rule as they are so heavily crew combat focused. They now gain the On Edge Trait which grants +1 Strength, +1 Fortitude and +3 Initiative to improve their combat stats. Second, their Stalker Trait comes into play on the first round of any combat in which the enemy team includes a officer or a captain. In this case, the Assassin immediately gains the Stalker Buff for 2 turns, which grants both Stealth Mode and +15% Critical -- they are ready to strike immediately! The Bounty Hunter has gained Born Hunter which increases _2 Resilience, +10% Accuracy and +2 Initiative to help them hit faster and harder in battle. Their second Trait, Relentless fires whenever they complete a mission step that requires an Edict and grants additional credits, additional Rep bonuses and a small amount of XP for the captain alone. Military Officers have gained Conditioned which helps round out their overall combat strength with a bonus of +1 Quickness, +2 Fortitude, +10% Armor and +10% Accuracy. Their second Trait, Protector, gives them unique bonuses in Orbital Operations. Whenever they encounter a mission step that relies on Blockade or Patrol orbital operation, they gain a bonus that sets the mission card's start success rate up to 30%. Second, if any orbital card grants bonus Rep, they gain +2 to +4 additional points. Finally, Zealots face their challenges head on and never waver. With their Single-Minded Trait they gain +1 Fortitude, +2 Resilience +10% Damage and they never suffer Morale Breaks in battle. Never retreat! Their second trait, Warhawk, increases their impact on any Conflict Score by +3 to +4 points and they also gain a small amount of personal XP upon impacting a Conflict. This set brings a new level of unique abilities into the game and we can't wait to deliver on the remaining 4 Professions!
We've updated the #124 Traits a bit -- Lawful now helps reduce hostility of Bounty Hunters instead of Explaorers. We also adjusted Spy "Infiltrator" to add +2 Wisdom, +1 Charisma instead of +3 Charisma. Finally, we made some changes to the Trait mutation rules to ensure that these Captain-only Traits don't bump up against any other Traits that seem overly contradictory.
In other news, we increased cooldown of Crew Dog's "Failsafe Protocols" to 9 weeks from 3 weeks. We also fixed a major bug with the Arbiter storyline where Estelle would refuse to give you a third mission in some circumstances. We renamed 3 crew armor and 2 ship weapons to avoid some naming overlaps.

Happy New Year, captains!
We're excited to ring in 2019 with the ongoing sale (25% off) and a big new update. Update #125 focuses on the new Captain-only Traits for those captain types that are ready to enter crew-combat -- Assassin, Bounty Hunter, Military Officer and Zealot. We've also added more art, fixed some of the newly added Traits from #124 and balanced, tweaked and fixed many other things.

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.
