Ahoy there Trailblazers!

This update introduces some special guest appearances from the space-friends we made during our Kickstarter run. Say “Hello” to Brick M. Stonewood from Starr Mazer and Moonman from… well… Moonman! We’ve also added a few more encounters and away missions, a helpful help screen, and balanced the game a bit more. As always, we’d love to know what you think, so don’t hold back. Tell us what’s on your mind. Thanks for playing!

Patch Notes

Crossover Craziness!
- Brick M. Stonewood from Starr Mazer has signed up with Galaxy Force. He may be a contractor, but his results speak for themselves!
- Moonman has been sighted lurking around on a nearby planet. Embark on an Away Mission and help that grinning fella!
Away Missions
- Two new Away Missions! All current star maps have been updated so that you can check ‘em out.
  - Note: the art for these Away Missions have not been finished, so don’t be confused if we’re telling you you’re on a spaceship and you’re still on a planet.
Encounters
- Four new encounters added into the loop with fancy arts!
Officer & Redshirt Bridge Animations
- All Captains, Officers, and Redshirts are now tricked out with props and animated! Check ‘em out on the Bridge and the Away Missions!
Balance Updates
- Critical Successes are now more rewarding, considering how rare they are.
- During Encounters, you can no longer pick options that you have no resource in.
  - E.g, if an option risks food, and you have no food, you can’t do that anymore!
- Captains and Officers stats have been rebalanced.
  - A few characters had duplicated stats, and we’re working on trying to have an even stat distribution.
  - We are still aware Attack is the least represented stat! We’ll be addressing that in a future update.
Added a How to Play Screen
- This can be accessed from the OPTIONS menu at any time!
- Let us know what you think, and if there’s still anything that’s confusing!
Sound Effects
- Added more sound effects for various UI elements and animations. Space was never so loud!
Various Bug Fixes and Tweaks
- Squashed small bugs, fixed typos, introduced new typos.

Dare to travel the absurd and dangerous Orion Trail, where only the luckiest, bravest, and most stubborn captains will make it all the way to the end. Come face the terrible and weird Synapsion Brain Beast. Cower before the pedantic might of Baxxtor the Instructor. Submit to the overwhelming cuteness of the three eyed Warp Weasel. Become famously incredible or incredibly dead!

Ultra Cool Space Features

A high-stakes and hilarious journey through the strange, stupid and terrifying locales of the Orion Trail!
Choose your crew, name them after your friends, and watch them die! Heroically! Or, you know, maybe they’ll survive. Anything can happen!
Tons of random encounters, each with a variety of options and outcomes. You’ll probably never encounter the same thing twice! You might, though.
Away Missions! Send an Officer (with a few of your invaluably expendable Redshirts) into the fray. The rewards are great, but so is the risk…
Carefully manage your Resources: Food, Fuel, Hull, and Redshirts. Curse loudly as they’re whittled away.
Play to your strengths! Each captain, and officer provide different bonuses to increase your chances of success.
Succumb to the chaos of the Probability Drive. You can rely on your Crew’s abilities, but there are no certainties in space.
