2 New Outfits

We're excited to be embarking on another run of art for Star Traders: Frontiers. After launching 7 years ago? Impossible! you might say. Inconceivable! you might say. But you can't stop it, it is too late, the art and the outfits are coming. Thanks for all the support, the badges, and for checking out our next game. For you - we do updates.

Repair Cost and Time Maximums

We completed an analysis of the ship component set and have put in some maximums and dampening curves for the repair cost and time per 1% of damage for all components. Some weapon sets - specifically high level missiles and gravcannons could take insanely long to repair. Other components like Large Fuel Tanks had way out of band costs to repair. The adjustments help keep everything within some expected ranges, while still allowing for a wide range of high and low points. We look forward to hearing your feedback! Generally, your ships are going to be a little cheaper and faster to repair, but you'll only really feel it if you had some of the wild components installed.

Story Cleanup

With the help of a modder on Discord (who has anonymous in their name, so I'll leave it at that), we've been making some cleanups to the game's data, effect linking, typos in quest logs and tweaking some of the timing in the game's story events. We really appreciate the dedication and are happy to reward it with the first update with a lot of their suggested changes integrated.

v3.4.31 - #368: Armored Space

- Added 2 new outfits to the game - armored in space! - Improved curves for repair cost for the most expensive ship components - Reduced outsized repair times for Level 8 and 9 Gravcannon and Missile Launchers - Improved timer structure for Pit Fighter V storyline - Fixed mislinked effects that could show incorrect name when looking at buffs - Fixed typos and incorrect names in objective logs

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?

• 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.

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.
