Update #174: Merchant's Delight
Searching Contacts was a hit, so we've wasted no time moving the solution into the next most critical list in the game -- the Star Atlas. You can now search the atlas for all sorts of helpful terms such as "mining" to find all mining zones or "population" to find both pop and lux pop zones. You can search for "stash" to find where you have stashes too. But, to the great glee of merchants and smugglers across the galaxy, the best is definitely the cargo type search. You can search "sells explosives" to find any zone that can legally sell you explosives or type "buys crystals" to find a buyer for what you've got in your hold. The search takes Trade Law and Rumors into account as well, so you can now find your next stop very quickly and with great precision!
To help the quadrants where Contacts can gain access to Rare Trade Goods be more evident, we've bubbled them up to the galactic map. Alongside Rumors, Mission and Contacts you can now see a map mark for the availability of Rare Trade Goods, and hover to see exactly which one is available where. Of course, you still need to find a Contact with the Influence, Rep and service to sell you such valuable goods, but the hunt is far simpler now!
We've made two tweaks to the Plague Era -- first counting Kloxian Medical Bays as a type of medical supplies for different Rumors within the Era. Second, due to some calculation issues, some story Contacts in the Era were offering terribly priced missions -- now resolved! If you're looking to get an Introduction from a Contact, you'll find that they are a little more upfront about the destination of the second Contact, not only listing the jump count but the quadrant and system name as well.
- Added search feature for Star Atlas -- search "mining" to find Mining Zones, "sells explosives" or "buys explosives" to find zones that trade explosives, plus combine with filter and sort - Added 4 new filters to Star Atlas to quickly seek zones that have Repair, Upgrade, Doctor or Spice services - Quadrants with Rare Trade Goods available now clearly marked on galactic map and in quadrant hovers - Selling Kloxian Medical Bays to infected zones can now help break Infected Rumors - Contact Introductions now list the name of the Contact's system and quadrant - Improved mission offers to recognize round-trip missions that are only in the local quad - Improved pricing on some of the cargo delivery missions during Plague Era and increased their ability to scale to your cargo/permit level - Fixed issue with Ship Fuel displays in New Template - Fixed bugs that allowed certain ships to move without using fuel

Update #174 continues to hammer on quality of life improvements while we wrap up the next story Eras back at HQ. We've expanded the search feature into Star Atlas as well as adding 4 new filters which can be combined to make finding a specific system, buyer or seller of a cargo type much easier. we've also better marked Rare Trade Goods within the galactic map, improved Contact introductions and tweaked some of the rules for the Plague Era to ensure mission prices are right as well as letting Kloxian Medical Bays get in on the fun.
If you're enjoying the pace of updates, please leave a review and tell a friend.
This should be the last update in the v2.5.x dev family. v2.6.x is NEXT :D

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.
