Update #332: Duranium Gleam
Powerful new salvage crew armor has dropped with Update #332, boasting a straight +4 Initiative buff. This level 8 armor is rare and hard to find but it wastes no time, go straight for speed over protection.
The gleam of Duranium coating never looked better, with 2 new Coatings now available. At Duranium Coating II and III, are capable of reducing ship damage during orbital operations - Patrol, Salvage, Spy and Blockade - by up to 40%, Now adding extra points of Armor and Shielding each, as well as 5% or 7% Void or Radiation Res, these are now some of the most all-arounder defensive components you can purchase. They do not come cheap and demand a medium slot but are powerful additions to your ship's protection as well as orbital activities. Along with their price, all components that are made out of rare and excotic metals, such as - Duranium, Ferrochronmium, Iridlaentine - all now demand higher Starport ratings (6, 7 or 8) to match the types of worlds where such things can be processed.
High level enemy who are flying for a faction military may now appear in the Acheron Battlecarrier, kitted with craft and all of its bristling weaponry and defenses. Beware, a new powerful super-carrier is on the lose in the void to give your high level captains a run for their spice.
As one of the flagships of the Thulun navy, we've upgraded the starting components of the Leo Battlecruiser to use even more Thulun specific components. As the component list continues to expand, there are more and more components specifically from their faction to round out an entire ship. The Leo Battlecruiser, the pride of the Thulun naval shipyards.
Black Markets have gained a number of useful boosts in Update #332.
Cyber Knights: Flashpoint, our stealth & squad tactics heist RPG, launched into Steam Early Access and how is marching to Update #30 as it battles through its ambitious public roadmap. We've just completed the three major roadmap milestone with the Hacker's Nest, Proc-Gen Missions for endless play, and Custom Difficulty (and the ability to change difficulty during play). If you're looking for a story rich, squad-based RPG, take a minute to follow, wishlist or try Cyber Knights! All support for Cyber Knights ultimately results in a brighter future for Star Traders, so hope youll check it out and spread the word! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1021210/Cyber_Knights_Flashpoint/

New Crew Armor
Powerful new salvage crew armor has dropped with Update #332, boasting a straight +4 Initiative buff. This level 8 armor is rare and hard to find but it wastes no time, go straight for speed over protection.
Duranium Coating
The gleam of Duranium coating never looked better, with 2 new Coatings now available. At Duranium Coating II and III, are capable of reducing ship damage during orbital operations - Patrol, Salvage, Spy and Blockade - by up to 40%, Now adding extra points of Armor and Shielding each, as well as 5% or 7% Void or Radiation Res, these are now some of the most all-arounder defensive components you can purchase.

Acheron Sighted - Beware!
High level enemy who are flying for a faction military may now appear in the Acheron Battlecarrier, kitted with craft and all of its bristling weaponry and defenses. Beware, a new powerful super-carrier is on the lose in the void to give your high level captains a run for their spice.
Leo Upgrade
As one of the flagships of the Thulun navy, we've upgraded the starting components of the Leo Battlecruiser to use even more Thulun specific components. As the component list continues to expand, there are more and more components specifically from their faction to round out an entire ship. The Leo Battlecruiser, the pride of the Thulun naval shipyards.
Black Market Power Center
Black Markets have gained a number of useful boosts in Update #332.
- Charisma now has an even bigger effect on access cards in the Black Market, increasing the impact of the Attribute by 50% and is particularly effective at reducing the chance of the worst cards in the Market
- We're continuing to further connect Black Market to Rumors so have again boosted and improved its card set during UCF Riots, Pirates, Ion Storms and Spice Festivals Rumors. Such Rumors can basically guarantee that there are excellent Access cards in every hand.
- Finally, if a Contact is granted additional Influence due to a Black Market card, there is now a special simulation rule that may allow them to take an immediate Contact action. This can help further empower the Contacts through which you are reaching the Black Market as they may assassinate an enemy, purchase a powerful Rumor, spread that Influence out to their allies or more

Command your ship and crew as a space pirate, merchant, bounty hunter, and more in Star Traders: Frontiers – an epic space RPG. 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.
