Update to Version 0.8.120222
- All NPCs, enemies and allies alike have had their turn rates nerfed slightly to make all engagements easier.
- All VFX have been touched up. More touch ups and additions in the works.
- A few nodes on the WARMAP did not load appropriately. This should now be fixed.
- Great Tower Assault and Fleet Battles have been added to the WARMAP. Great Tower Assaults are to Independent Nodes, what Brigade Carrier Assaults are to Confederate Nodes. Fleet Battles are basically the same, but for space only nodes.
- In the Frontiers Reach Universe, Great Towers are basically old school central defense posts. These have been added as a town to each map and are used in the new Great Tower Assault scenario.
- Instant action which will randomly pick 1 of 3 fighters and then randomly pick 1 of 5 maps to play the Instant Action scenario in. This scenario is pretty fluid but does have hidden objectives to be complete if the player so chooses.
- Some NPCs now have flare counter measures and use them at chance upon missile detection.
- The process of combining mesh artwork in various places throughout the game has begun. This will more or less seal the deal for numerous assets and level and render them unchangeable unless under the most dire of circumstances.
- How gravity affects starfighters at lower speeds has been changed and should make it easier to fly at lower speeds and through tighter spaces.
- Numerous bugs and tweaks have been made to the main campaign missions to better tell the story and to smooth out the experience. More are in the works.

This Friday I am releasing the full first campaign which is now 25 missions in total. This campaign spans the bubble of human habited space and should help familiarize additional mechanics and characters. This might seem a bit much, but it's important for what comes after. The WARMAP in this new setup will have more of a smoothed out introduction into normal play with the WARMAP being more of a sandbox you can play with in some senses.
Nerfed turn rates on all NPC fighters.

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.

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 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.
