Starship Troopers: Terran Command News

Hi Troopers,

An update is now available on the public open “beta” branch.

The base-game scenario editor has been re-enabled in the beta. Scenario creators are encouraged to give the editor a test run, as some changes were made to the editor in preparation of the DLC release. Note that creating custom scenarios using the Raising Hell DLC content is not yet available, this is planned for after release of the DLC.

Warning: scenarios made on the open beta will not work for people playing on the release branch. Because of that, we have disabled publishing in this build. After release of the DLC in 2 weeks, you will be able to publish these scenarios to the workshop as usual.

We managed to exterminate several bugs based on reports from the previous beta update, special thanks to the testers that took on the fight!

If we broke stuff or you have feedback on the changes, please lets us know by using the in-game feedback form (opened by pressing F11 while in the game), or on our discord’s beta channel.

Greetings troopers,

We have exciting news! The much-awaited "Raising Hell" DLC made its premiere at EGX, and we're happy to reveal the official date of release.

Official release date: the countdown begins
We are happy to inform you that Starship Troopers: Terran Command's "Raising Hell" DLC will be available for download on November 15th.

Put this day on your calendar so you can take advantage of this wonderful expansion to the fullest.

EGX Debut
The EGX exhibition, which took place in London from October 12 to October 15, was a huge success. In the "Raising Hell" DLC, attendees get the rare chance to be among the first to take on brand-new challenges and thrilling experiences in the Starship Troopers universe while commanding their troops and battling unrelenting hordes of arachnids.

We offer something special for everyone who wasn't able to attend EGX or just wants to relive the exciting atmosphere.

Get ready to raise hell!

Attention, citizens of the Federation! Our mission to keep you informed continues as we explore the depths of the upcoming Raising Hell DLC, revealing new forces joining the battle for Gehenna. For protection of its people and assets, the corporation that exploits Gehenna for its valuable resources has relied on contracted mercenaries. These are tough and battle hardened individuals, often with a background of military experience or have been forged by the unforgiving conditions of isolated human colonies.

Frag Mercs
In our continuing coverage of the Raising Hell DLC, we introduce you to a variety of mercenary unit types. Deploying mercenary units requires Funds: a new unit cap that works similar to War Support but separates Mobile Infantry and Mercenary unit types. For an optimal army composition, you’ll have to find a good mix of both.
Today we will highlight one of the fresh additions to the mercenary roster: the Frag Mercs.



A Flexible Weapon
The Frag Mercs are equipped with a unique weapon capable of toggling between firing fragmentation shells in close combat and launching grenades for longer distance engagements. The former is very effective to pin down waves of Arachnids, while the explosive grenades provide indirect fire support and excel at taking out armored enemies and structures.

Minelaying Abilities
Elite Frag Mercs gain the ability to deploy proximity mines. You can choose between either Frag Mines - which set off a consecutive series of charges when triggered - or Fire Mines - which do what it says on the box: bursting into a blazing fire.
When placed correctly, both mines can have a major impact on the outcome of a defensive engagement.

The Federation remains steadfast in its resolve to protect its interests and citizens, no matter the cost.
