Star Shift has been updated to version 0.52. This update adds the feature of a CYBERNET combat arena. This is basically a combat simulator you can use to gain experience and credits without being a part of the main story.

We also removed the dynamic lighting plugin because we noticed that people who did not have AMD or Nvidia graphics cards were experiencing a lot of lag.
We did however try to emulate the atmospheric vibe of the lighting effect through various tinting and fog techniques. They will improve over time. This should work well though even on Intel GPU/Integrated graphics.
Skills and animations have been improved. Projectiles such as plasma, bullets, lasers, and railguns have been improved.

The year is 2357. Humans have explored the stars and colonized many worlds under the authority of the Earth Systems Alliance (ESA), a government controlled by powerful interstellar organizations. An alliance in name only, it is in reality, a brutal empire.
The Earth Systems Alliance (ESA) is embroiled in a civil war with a faction known as the Novus Federation. They are made up of former ESA colonists, corporations and military personnel who oppose Alliance rule and actively undermine ESA activities.
Both sides have committed war crimes on civilian populations. This has destabilized the balance of power in the region, creating chaos.
