Hello Executives,

I am excited to finally release the Faction patch for everyone to enjoy, it has been a very long and trying few months but it has been well worth the wait.

The new patch includes loads of new ships, tech, buildings, music and play styles including:

Industrial: Cannons, nuclear power, clones, large powerful ships, these are for the companies who like to crush anyone standing in their way.

High Tech: Lasers, fusion power, robots, sleek expensive ships for those who prefer a balanced clean way of winning.

Spy: Pulse energy, solar power, cyborgs, stealthy ships, spy plants, teleportation, for those who prefer to undermine from the inside rather than full out assaults.

The patch also adjusts some of the gameplay mechanics such as how the power works, how to assault stations, patrols, shields etc so please read the in game help and tool tips too although no need to do the tutorial again as that only shows the very basic concepts of the game.

The reason for the patch was to not only to open up the tech tree as there didn’t seem to be much point for example having 3 different versions of the same weapon if everyone just went for the lasers or missiles, but also it opens up so many possibilities in terms of gameplay, ideas and not having everything look the same.

There is of course a lot more to do and plenty of balancing with the new tech which I hope you will continue to help me with not to mention the bugs that need fixing. Current known issues are the loading and saving is still experimental, some buildings still need updating to the new look, handling low quality network connections during multiplayer games,some path finding issues in regard to sending units around the base and the AI doing some strange things, all of which I will address in the near future.

Once things are settled again I hope to give Executrons more things to do, an in-game encyclopaedia of all the units and buildings, continue work on the protester mode, add even more tech and hope to eventually add a single campaign if people still want one.

Please feel free to join the Discord channel which is a great place to chat about the game, find people to play with and make new friends, the full change log can be found there in the Announcements section.
