Save 40% and Update #211: Cards and More Cards!
All of the 5 new high powered cards arriving in Update #211 are linked to Rumors. First up are set of 3 that appear exclusively in Salvage as rare cards but that provide some significant bonuses above the normal. The new "Major Score" card can drop a stack of up to $100K Credits into your account, providing a new major way to rake in the bank while salvaging. But it doesn't end there with the "Riches Untold" offering a reward of up to $200K from a single card. Both are rare, and "Richest Untold" obviously the rarest of the bunch but that is the name of the game in Salvage -- high risk, high reward! Beyond material wealth, "Spice Memories" card drops a whopping 800 XP onto a small subset of your crew. With this extra focused XP, this can easily result in an immediate level gained in the earlier game! In those quadrants that are under the dangerous quadrant-wide Rumors of Radiation Storm and Xeno Fleet, there are new reasons to risk entering these areas. Any orbital operations (Patrol, Spy, Blockade) now have a chance of including the rare "Enviable Breakthrough" card that grants 400 XP , shared across a small subset of your crew. The new "Web of Conspiracy" card can uncover 3 to 6 Rumors in a single turn, as your captain uncovers some bigger scheme. This new card can appear as a rare card for Spying during any conditions, but will appear in Patrol and Blockade during either Radiation Storm or Xeno Fleet Rumors. Finally, because it can't all be good news -- in the presence of a Radiation Storm or Xeno Fleet Rumor, you can also draw the "Horrific Damage" orbital ops card which can destroy up to 4 components completely. This is a nasty card ranking at -5 and worth warning that it's skill tests are hard to beat if you lack a Talent. Be careful to avoid or knock this one out with a Talent!
We've made some further tuning improvements to the risk and reward weights in Patrol, Spy and Blockade to push planets and zones more into their focus niche. Those zones that were good for Spying are likely even better for it -- so its all the more important now to go to places that are good targets and not just spy anywhere. In Salvage, we've also rebalanced some of the drop rates for weapon to help players find a wider variety of armaments as they salvage.
Of course, we're also celebrating and sharing our next title: Cyber Knights: Flashpoint. Take a minute to peak and punch that Wishlist button! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1021210/Cyber_Knights_Flashpoint/

Welcome all new captains! We're kicking off a week of updates in celebration of all of our captains -- old and new -- who sail the quadrants. It's a great time to spread the word by telling a friend or leaving a review as Star Traders: Frontiers is 40% off for the next 6 days and nights.
To start the week off, Update #211 kicks off the week with a host of new high risk and reward cards piling into orbital ops and salvage.

Venture forth into a massive open universe rich with the lore of the Star Traders. 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.
