Update #126: Relentless
The 8 new Traits cover Commander, Diplomat Explorer and Scavenger Professions. The new Commander Trait Indomitable grants a ship combat buff, adding +10% Accuracy, +5% Defense and +10% Protection against Crew and Morale Damage/Turn. With a Commander on the bridge, the crew is less likely to come apart under stress. Their second Trait, Motivating, adds bonus +2 Charisma, +2 Wisdom, +1 Initiate and helps them resist Debuffs in crew combat 20% of the time. Notably, +2 Wisdom is equivalent to +1 Initiative. The Diplomat is the master negotiator and works most efficiently in missions and with a wide network on Contacts. Their Trait Honorable increases Personal and Faction Rep gain for completing mission steps by +1 to +2 and reduces negative Rep for mission steps by 1 always. This can stack with Talents as well! Their second Trait, Smooth adds +3 Charisma, +2 Wisdom and reduces the price of Contact Introductions by 15%. Explorers sail the void from end to end, seeking lost artifacts and treasures. Their Overkeen Trait doubles the chance of xeno artifact cards being drawn and grants a +10% success rate to Mission cards. Overkeen's doubling for xeno artifacts works best when there was already a good chance of artifacts to be had, so it is still important to find the best worlds to explore. Second, their Voyager Trait adds +2 Wisdom, +1 Resilience and reduces the time and fuel consumption for traveling by 10%. No one can long haul like an explorer! Finally, Scavengers are the master of hunting out the orbital salvage and finding value in anyone's trash. Junker allows the Scavenger to effect repairs to 2 ship components up to their Repair Skill whenever salvaging an enemy ship or drawing a Orbital Salvage card that gives credits. Second, Roughneck grants +2 Fortitude and +2 Wisdom and a 10% chance to learn about a Salvage Rumor when spicing. While the Roughneck ability can help pick up on random Salvage Rumors, you'll still need dedicated Contacts to keep up with all the options.
For Zealot's Single-Minded Trait, we dropped a +1 Fortitude in trade for a +2 Initiative, beefing their ability in crew combat to hit hard and hit fast. To help Assassins dodge bullets and blades, we've added a +10% Dodge and +10% Parry bonus to their Stalker buff, which only fires when a combat starts with a Captain or Officer in the enemy ranks.
Sniper's has gained a new rank 15 Talent, Trick of the Eye which fires at the start of a crew combat turn. This powerful On Init Talent includes a Stealth buff and helps the Sniper return over and over again into a hidden position from which he or she can use her most powerful Talents. We've also rebalanced One-Shot to have 55% Crit Chance instead of 45% and removed the "Requires Stealth" clause from the On Init debuff, Target Acquired, allowing the Sniper to be more offensive early with their On Init Talent.
With Update #126, we've brought all ship combat purge Talents -- be they ship, crew or both -- under a single cool down banner of 6 weeks. For some, this is shorter and others it is longer. Keep this in mind when allocating your ship combat Talents an consider stacking an extra option or two to make sure you don't run out if you end up in multiple fights. We've also buffed Mechanic's System Flush rank 5 Talent to not only purge ship crippling effects but also include a small buff as well.
Terrox Xeno have had their engines modified to be a bit faster again. With the TERROX milestone, they lost a lot of Speed points and we've restored some but not all of those points. They will be a bit harder to flee and more dangerous at long range again. The Gossip Trait now relies on Charisma to find Rumors instead of a flag 20%. There it is folks :D

We're ringing in the new year by getting back to our relentless pace of updates! Welcome to the 3rd update in 5 days! If you like the constant stream of improvements, please tell a friend and post a review.
With update #126, we've added 8 more unique Captain-only Traits covering the last 4 Jobs and closing out this arc of development. We are very happy with the overall changes which have helped to differentiate the careers in exciting ways without going so far as to remove any of the playstyle options for your captains. A Merchant may be the best trader, but trading is still valuable part of most other captain type's careers. We'll keep balancing and tweaking these as we go.
We've also rounded out the Sniper's Talent set with a new rank 15 Talent and rebalanced a few of their Talents to fit better with the new addition.
On with it!

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.
