About This Content

This DLC contains no additional game content, it only supports the many years of free content and features added to the base game since release. The Supporter DLC adds a small Supporter's Badge graphic to your main menu and ship status screen; no in-game effects, locked content or features, it's purely a way to support our studio and the future of Star Traders if you desire to do so.

Since Star Traders: Frontier’s full launch in 2018, we’ve been thrilled to keep the game growing with an ongoing stream of free content updates, more than 250 of them over 6 years (not counting the 90 updates in EA). We’ve often been asked about expansions or paid DLC content, but we believed making content available for free to everyone who bought the game is the better way to do it.

Now, with the game having more than twice (in some areas three times) as much content as it did at launch, some have suggested that we raise the price, but we don’t think that makes sense for keeping the Star Traders community growing.

Instead, we’re launching this Supporters DLC to give those who want to support our studio a way to do so, if you find it worth it for all the extra content that’s been added to the game since full launch:

• RELIC Expansion - all new Orbital Salvage Op and the Scavenger Job and Profession
  
• TERROX Expansion - new xeno ships, components, and crew jobs
  
• INTERDICTION Expansion - added carrier ship types, 3 types of craft and matching Wing Jobs
  
• HIGHFALL Expansion - late game Era determines the direction of the coalition with Dissension or Consolidation story arcs
  
• BROOD Expansion - all new late game Era with new and terrifying Jyeeta alien species
  
• CATALYST Expansion - all new Scientific Intel system, Scientist Job and Profession
  
• TEMPLAR Expansion - crossover storyline with unique NPCs and weapons added
  
• CARTOGRAPHER Expansion - map seed v2 improving all map generation, allowing for larger and smaller maps, new default map
  
• MODS Expansion - added official mod support for the game, including all-unlocks mod version & Steam Workshop support
  
• Many more new ships, gear, crew jobs, cosmetics, professions, traits, ship components, story vignettes, planet art, modding support, and more across hundreds of other updates.

^and this was last updated in January 2023; we've just kept adding since then lol.

If you like the way we do things here at Trese Brothers, and want to support the future of the Star Traders series, this DLC offers a way to show that support.
