Stellar Warfare News

We're currently working on adding various languages to Stellar Warfare. In the meantime we felt like a balance patch was well overdue as well as some other changes.

We fixed a bug in the fleet editor causing an overload of brightness, making the entire scene blinding when rotating certain ships engine trails. That is now fixed.

We added a 'Happy Hour' 3x per day, in which the drop rate is up to 3x higher! This should help those of you who don't have a lot of time to play to have specific moments in which this is a little easier.

The adding of the 2.5 campaign mission caused objectives in the tutorial to no longer show up. That is now fixed as well as some other minor fixes.

Time for another update! Among other things we have:

• Added a campaign intermezzo mission (two more coming)
  
• Improved direct control controls
  
• Improved various GUI elements
  
• Fixed bugs reported by the community
  
• Fixed bugs related to the save/load functionality
  
• Polished a bunch of planets and other system elements
  
• Designed a new mission full of temporary weapons, modules, planets and enemies
  

Along with the above we've looked into localization since that has been often requested as well and we might do something with that in the near future.



Share your ideas!
We also want to give you guys the opportunity to contribute to the project by sharing your ideas. Feel free to make a community post on the discussion boards with the title prefixed with 'Idea:' + your idea. You can then share your ideas for new ships, missions, weapons or modules. We'll go over each of the submissions there and see if we can pick up an idea or two and implement those for you guys.

More coming, cheers!

An often requested feature was infinite waves for the wave defense game mode. We've had to brainstorm a bit on how to best implement it, but I think we found a good solution. You can now toggle the infinite waves checkbox in the wave survival setup menu. Instead of 1 big boss after 10 waves you now get a mini-boss assault-platform that attacks you every fifth wave! They have long range weaponry but aren't especially tanky... Their damage output is serious though!

In addition to that we did the following:

• Added the multi-ion beamweapon
  
• Adding a techfrigate with built in self-repair and 4 module slots
  
• SAVE/LOAD support in all Single Player game modes
  
• Fixed randomizer error preventing type B to be spawn.
  
• Added the Support Platform wave miniboss
  
• Added the Support Platform type B wave miniboss
  
• Improved the visuals for several menus
  
• Updated the visuals of the scorescreen
  
• Updated the splashscreen
  
• Added the Box Attack functionality so that people can try it out to multi-select
  
• Tweaked shield visuals and shield impact visuals
  
• Doubled the size of Zabu Repairs in Battle Royale
  
• Updated score screen functionality
  
• In battle royale you can now 'order' ships before the game starts from the multiplayer menu
  
• Fleet loadouts now can be switched without visiting the fleet editor (multiplayer lobbies only for now).
  
• In Battle Royale mode you now will be able to pick your starting fleet
  
• Your starting funds in BR will be 3600/3600 minus the cost of your spawned fleet.
  
• If you won't select any starting ship - game will spawn first ship in your loadout
  

I've also decided to experiment with some more engine variations. You can see those changes below:

The following ships now have Green Engine Flames:

• Frigate
  
• Raider
  
• Towerer
  

The following ships now have Yellow/orange Engine Flames:

• Bee
  

The following ships now have Purple Engine Flames:

• Colony
  
• Nest
  

The following ships now have Teal engine flames:

• Fish
  
• Hammerer
  
• Flint
  

The following ships now have Red engine flames:

• Ant
  

Wrapup
That's it for this update! There's a few things we still want to improve upon and we will gradually add those as well. May you be safeguarded from The Light. See you in space!
