There are only a few days left in this year's Steam Summer Sale which boasts the best price for the year for Star Traders: Frontiers. The bridge awaits, captain!
We're constantly working to improve and expand the game and Update #270 hits those notes with new mission content, new rules for orbital ops, fixing a bug in the latest "Fractured Factions" storyline and a series of bugs with Jyeeta Era missions. A lot of the work in the last two months has been to expand and round out mod support for the mod creators in the on-going beta and Update #270 is no different, prepping the way for modders to create their own proc-gen missions. If you like the pace of updates, please consider leaving a review and telling a friend -- especially during Summer Sale!
For a different flavor of Trese Brothers sci-fi, check out Cyber Knights!
Update #270 adds 2 new mission types of the game -- an extended roving patrol mission with a lot of options about where and when to patrol and a diplomatic mission that mixes both negotiation, escorting a passenger and delivering cargo to get the deal done. Internally, we've prepped the game engine for modders to add new missions but to make sure we put the system through all of its paces, we'll be adding a series of new missions over the next few updates, specifically looking for mission types and sequences that are underserved or could have more interesting variety, such as the combo of diplomacy-passenger-cargo.
We've also made a change to how cargo delivery missions affect Rep. If you're delivering cargo to a faction that isn't the one who offered the mission (working for Cadar, delivering to Thulun) you will no longer lose Rep with Thulun.
Fractured Factions and Jyeeta Fixes
For some paths through Fractured Factions storyline, the special faction-specific ship story component was never appearing. We've now fixed that bug for new captains and for captains who have passed through the storylnie. Within a few years, it should show up next time you visit a Cadar world.
This update catches up on a bug introduced by the internal modding work we've been doing for the mod creators. During the Jyeeta Era, some of the missions were no longer turning up Jyeeta opponents. This has been resolved!
Mutinous Orbital Ops
Your crew will now refuse to engage in any orbital operations once it nears mutiny. In some cases, it was possible to run orbital ops nearly endlessly without landing on a zone. You can still do this if you are excelling at the card game -- finding ways to increase Morale, steal fuel, etc -- but if things are falling apart, you'll now reach a bottom out point where the crew refuses to keep going.
Genetic Sequencing
We've fixed an issue reported with Scientist "Genetic Sequencing" Talent where it was producing more than the maximum of 10 Scientific Intel. Sorry! Nerf!
v3.1.73 - 7/2/2021
- Added new "Nomadic Defender" mission type, long trip patrol - Added new "Mercantile Negotiation" help mediate a contract and then seal the deal with a cargo delivery - Cargo missions no longer damage Rep with target faction - Added prevention of all orbital ops if crew is at mutiny levels of Morale - Fixed bug in "Fractured Factions" that could prevent new ship components from appearing - Fixed issue where some xeno story missions -- such as Jyeeta Era -- could turn up human enemies - Fixed issue with Scientist "Genetic Sequencing" producing over maximum Scientific Intel
It's Friday and it means that it is time for a new Clan Challenges to begin! When the new wave of battles starts, all clan members group up, combine their efforts and do their best to win more battles than the enemy to guarantee themselves a win in the stage of the Challenges.
As usual, the challenge consists of 3 stages, and you do not bound to start from the first one - you can choose which one is more interesting to you and start with it. Clan Challenges will begin today at 4 p.m. GMT and finish exactly in a week - next Friday, at the same time.
For receiving a necessary amount of victories your clan will receive a nice reward, this time, the prizes are:
Before yesterday’s update, the Northern Wind Battle Path Shop had been suffering from several issues, including lags and items that wouldn’t be transferred properly despite you buying them. Aside from the actual compensations, which we are still partially working on (some of them were paid out during the last maintenance), we’d like to offer you a small gift to express our regret over the problem.
In MY.GAMES Market, you’ll find a crate with 3.000 Battle Coins, which is yours to obtain. We apologize for the inconvenience and, as always:

We recently started adding new features that allow you to interact with the characters. The first one was the boob jiggle functionality that we all learned to love. The new functionality we just released allows you to grab the girl’s hips and thrust them. Currently this is only possible in PC but we are working on a VR equivalent for this feature. So go ahead and give it a go.
Unleash your inner beast! Don a beast form, team up with allies, and battle other wizards in an attempt to capture points and control the Avalon map. Earn incredible rewards like Gold Beastmoon Idols, Lunari, Beastmoon Seeds, and much more in the process!

Hell would be sad without women 👩 Although some believe that they will end up there. cause of them.. Others say that it is because of a woman that sin is, so why can you meet men in hell? 🤔 Sounds like a soap opera? Well, part of it is - human history is convoluted like the love of Adam, Eve, and our chief Lucifer! 😈
So in Hell Architect you will meet women 🔥 The extremely cruel ones, like Elisabeth Batory, for example. As one of our legends, it will have an impact on the gameplay - here it will spoil something, here it will fix something, just like an intriguing woman!
Actually, why is Elisabeth Batory in Hell?
Apparently, he owes his wonderful beauty and intelligence to mystical treatments... bloody treatments. But was it really so? Only Lucifer knows that! 🩸🩸🩸
