Weekly Friday Update Release of Version 0.3.050721

In this weeks update we bring more changes to artwork with a number of new asteroid models that will be used in space environments. Additionally a host of fixes have been made to minor things that where affecting gameplay on a wide scale. Behind closed doors our lead programmer did a bunch of development and testing on expanding the core mechanics for the player. These new mechanics include a more robust collision detection system and resource management for fuel and weapons. - Fixed issue that caused the third person UI to not show up. - Fixed an issue that caused primary weapons fire from the player to not affect capital ship vital components. - Fixed an offset of the S-27 Wildboar main cannons. - Fixed an issue that had the UI elements rendering in the aim scope. - Fixed an issue that caused the new UI elements to interact with NPC starfighters and capitalships. - Fixed an issue that caused missiles locks to persist even after the target had been destroyed. - Fixed cannons artwork not showing up on some starfighters. - Reimplemented crash collisions. - Added ability to hit Escape to bring up the configuration menu when on the bridge of the Heliosiren. - Fixed an issue that would stop the player from being able to rebind keys properly. - Fixed bug that could cause terrain to fall below acceptable resolutions for visual presentation. - Fixed a bug that caused the Boost button and the secondary weapons fire button to use the same default button for controller. - Replaced the Keyboard only configuration with the HOTAS configuration (We will revist the keyboard only configuration as soon as possible). - Fixed a performance bug that was the result of a keybind not working properly(This resulted in the removal of mouse look for mouse and keyboard functionality, we will revist in the future). - Added warning tone and markers to missiles. - Added catapult launch and capture animation. (This may later be used to increase difficulty of landings.)

Pirates of Frontier's Reach is an arcade flight combat game set in the Frontier's Reach Universe. A universe where humanity has taken it's first steps into the stars and begun to establish colonies across hundreds of worlds from the most habitable to the most hostile. Players will assume the role of a fighter pilot serving in the privateer fleet of the Republic of the Frontier Worlds where human's from every culture and tongue have come to seek opportunity and an escape from the overbearing authority of the Sol Confederacy of Planets.

The Gameplay of Pirates of Frontier's Reach will see the player skip the long trips between locations and drop right into the action. Taking on Sorties players can test their loadouts against a swarm of enemies of a single type. While on Patrols players can pilot their starfighter around areas filled with obstacles and secrets where barnstorming will be the only way to get the prize. And Campaign missions will keep the story moving forward and unlock new and interesting starfighters and weapons for the player to use.

The Starfighters of Frontier's Reach are old and rugged but more than a fit for the jobs they fill out in the frontier worlds.

Pilots Serving in the Privateer Fleet will have the ability to fit different weapon systems to their starfighters to meet the needs of each mission they take on.

Outfit Your Starfighter and tweak performance parameters within various ranges to achieve the desired performance you want out of a starfighter.

Fly From the Cockpit or Third Person Perspective and experience a difference in both the game difficulty and immersive value. The choice is yours!

The Future of Pirates of Frontier's Reach is one in which I will use the automation tools I've crafted over the past few months and plan to refine in order to deliver weekly story driven content for the community to engage with.

The Multiplayer of Pirates of Frontier's Reach is currently not being planned at all but the future is a crazy place so things may change.
