We are aware that there are concerns about the spawn rate of the Scorpion Bugs, we are looking into solutions on how to best tackle that.

Please, let us know your feedback and opinions. We intend to further improve Starship Troopers: Terran Command and your feedback is very helpful for us to make it happen.

In the meantime, work continues... we have plans for future content and features, and we're just about to finalize them. We'll be back soon with an actual Roadmap containing information on what's next.

My biggest question about Starship Troopers Colon Terran Command was what tone it would strike. The RTS potential for an interplanetary ground war against overwhelming swarms of giant not-insects is obvious enough. But the dual spirit of most Paul Verhoeven films is a major reason that The Extraordinary Lust Of Dizzy (working title: Starship Troopers) still holds up 25 years on.

Terran Command understands that. Certainly it nods to the satire here and there, but mostly it focuses on the shooting and desperate defences and evacuations instead. This was the right decision. Though it's a little short on narrative flavour, unless you're really into exploring the setting, it's got enough tactical heft to make up for it.
