Welcome back, Star Traders! We have not forgotten about our captains plying the void, tirelessly seeking their fame, riches or the glint of a xeno ship in the dark of space. Don't drink the Water-Fuel, we've got updates!
We're excited to announce "The Summer of Star Traders" which intends to return to form on updates and expansions over the upcoming summer months. The team here at Trese Brothers has been mighty busy with Cyber Knights: Flashpoint, where came up with a self-imposed challenge to complete 7 major roadmap milestones in the month of June. We just wrapped up #5 (steamhappysteamhappysteamhappy) so we'll count that as a win, and we thought why not doing it again? So the gauntlet is thrown - let's go for an awesome Summer of Star Traders updates.
We are looking forward to hearing your feedback, on Steam or on Discord, about what you'd like to see added to the game's arsenal of equipment, ships, missions and mini-games. The Summer of Star Traders won't have any specific focus besides "more Star Traders" because we plan to add a few exciting things to as many different systems as possible. Oh and some new artwork for both characters and ships will be coming!
To get things going, today we've got posted Update #345!
Vengeance Class Mk3
First, a new Ship design for players -- the Vengeance Class Mk3! A rearchitected version of the classic Mk1 hull, this 7000 Mass ship is an excellent platform for customization. Suitable for both combat and orbital operations, the Mk3 offers a high number of Small and Large components allowing for more weapons and more large utility. This ship is not yet in the hands of the AI. If you fly it, please let us know what you think.
Salvage and Exploration
We also made progress connecting even more types of Rumors to Exploration and Salvage -- this update brings some of those as well. In this update we're adding some risky reward type boosts. These Rumors already impact the nature and severity of the Risk deck, but now they also boost some pretty good Reward cards. Exploring Xeno infested planets is dangerous, but it can also lead to unexpected treasure. These new connections stack with other Rumor conditions -- so a Xeno Spores Rumor on the Planet and a Resource Rush Rumor on the Zone can both exist simultaneously and provide double benefits.
Issue Clean up
We also fixed some reported issues with the ships "Acheron Battlecarrier" and "Mortifor Carrier" and "Dreadnought Battlecarrier" which will apply to any of those ships purchased in games after v3.3.103 is deployed. For backwards compatibility reasons, the legacy versions of these ships will remain unchanged. Finally, we completed some ship component clean-up, notably fixing the "Flamebreak" Torpedo. Any ships with this weapon will be fixed by this update.
v3.3.103 - 6/28/2024
- New Ship, "Vengeance Class Mk3" ("Return of the Revengeance") - When exploring on planets plagued by Pirates, the chance of a valuable stash is doubled - When exploring on planets plagued by Xeno, the chance of XP rewards is doubled - Fixed Ship Weapon: "Flamebreak Torpedo" (Size 1, 2RP) - Fixed Ship Design bugs in "Acheron Battlecarrier" and "Mortifor Carrier" and "Dreadnought Battlecarrier"

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.
