Update #325: Who shall Captain?


It's Update #325 for Star Traders: Frontiers with some new QoL features requested by the community! This week, we've added new quick randomization options to new game to help you find your perfect Captain persona, added a confirmation button to ending the turn without any action in Ship Combat, saved Mutinied captains from themselves and fixed a number of hot-topic reported bugs.

If you like the pace of updates, please take a minute to leave a review, share the game or just post some feedback! Feedback goes straight into updates :D


New Game Randomize


With Update #325, you can now rapidly randomize your Captain's name and appearance. The randomization will keep to regular outfits (without mix-and-match legs and torso) and currently does not add any accessories. Personally, I'm loving this new addition as a way to find a cool looking and sounding new captain with some speed clicking.

Let us know how it works for you! Should we add it to the main roster as well?


Skipped Turn Confirmation


In ship combat, if you happen to hit End Turn without putting in any orders – no Talents used, no weapons fired, no craft launched and no move orders issued – you'll get a once per combat confirmation dialog to ensure you really want to skip out. If you do choose to continue anyway, we'll leave you alone and not ask again. If you want to correct a mistake, then the confirmation will reappear if the mistake is made again.

Thanks to the community for always pressing us to improve the game!

Captain Mutiny Talents


There was a bug with Captain Mutiny Talents that was counting Captains out of using their own Talents to quell mutinies if their Morale was very low. That is a lot less fun for Pirate captains and the like! This is now resolved and your Captain will always be able to use their anti-Mutiny Talents regardless of their low Morale. A captain never joins against themselves in a Mutiny … and if they do, they've got bigger problems.

Nine Blade Cut Debuff


There was an issue where Nine Blade Cut's debuff was getting cleared by Talents that remove Buffs. This is now resolved.

We also fixed a bug with Disarming Sabotage not finding weapons in some cases.
