OK, so since my last news post I have been busy working on lots of mainly small things. But I have been working on a missions revamp for a while now that should hopefully add loads more variety - basically im making a mission editor that I can use + some trusted players. Its about half way done. I'm also working on another 2 non playable races that will be for high level players. + also 3 more star systems. Ive been trying to get a linux version running, but its not there yet.... OK, so highlights of the recent updates: SF:DG now bundled as part of the game - For the uninitiated. Starfighter: Infinity is a sequel to an older game: "Starfigther: Disputed Galaxy". This was a browser based game that has been offline for many years. Now if you go to the extras page via the main menu, then you can play it (single player only). This is mainly just for historical reasons, and it wont be supported. It is just PC for now, but I will maybe add it to Mac later A bunch more random events. A cool one is a "Boss Fight" where 2 non playable race bosses will show up to do battle, if you keep out the crossfire then you can probably get some good loot. New Race: Sheenites - A cool race with some cool loot. Based on the classic Flying saucer look with some retro weapons - they are a great fit for the tone of starfighter and have some interesting devices to allow you to fly your ship in different ways. Solarions have had a facelift + a new ship to come. Also Dartians have some cool new devices that use mined Nickel to power them Here are all the change notes from recent updates.....
