Carrier Command 2 News

Dear Players,

Thank you to everyone who is playing Carrier Command 2! We have been overwhelmed by how many of you are playing the game and bought immediately on launch, it has been far beyond our expectations. Making such a different experience is a huge risk, but you have made the game a great success, and we are really excited about the future of Carrier Command 2.

We have been reading all of your feedback on the official issue tracker and thank everyone who has taken the time to give us feedback and report issues. This is so important for us, because it makes it easy for us to see what the most important things to change are. If you experience a bug with the game, please use the in-game "Report Issue" button to let us know about it. If we can reproduce your problem, we want to fix it.

What To Expect?

Our goal is for Carrier Command 2 to have great developer support and as close to zero issues as possible.

VR Improvements

In the coming days and weeks, we will be bringing various improvements desperately needed by the VR community, including a VR options menu, on-screen controller instructions, a new mode that doesn't move the camera when using a screen, a work-in-progress smooth movement mode, tablet position options, fixed tutorial, pasting, subtitle rendering, and more. This is only a first pass and there will be more to come for VR. See the recent post on the VR store page and the VR tag on the issue tracker for more info. Please keep letting us know your requests on the issue tracker using the in-game button.

Regular Bug Fix Updates

There are also several bug fixes and improvements in v1.0.3. Please see the change log below.

We plan to work our way through the issue tracker and tackle the reported issues, releasing hot-fix updates regularly. We are very optimistic, as much seems easy to fix and we think we can make great progress.

New Features Requested by Players

From time-to-time, we will also be releasing feature updates, including features requested on the official issue tracker. There are already so many great suggestions that we are excited to implement. These feature updates will probably be rolled into bigger updates for release every few months.

We will keep you updated in posts like this regularly, while the rest of our energy will go into improving the game.

Much love
The Carrier Command Developers

Dear Players,

Carrier Command 2 just released!

Carrier Command 2 is the RTS and mil-sim successor to Carrier Command (1988). You command the ACC Epsilon Carrier, navigating across an archipelago of 64 islands, remote controlling aircraft and amphibious vehicles, managing manufacturing and logistics, firing support weapons, battling the enemy navy, and duelling with the enemy carrier, while the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

On the bridge, every screen, button and switch has an important function that impacts your strategy. Your tactics are your own to design and author, in this deep simulation where load outs, detection, logistics, positioning, timing, weather, ocean currents, coordination and communication all matter. There is no other game like Carrier Command 2.



Thank you to all the players who choose to buy Carrier Command 2. Thank you to everyone who played the playtests or demo, who gave feedback, or wishlisted the game. It has been so exciting reading your feedback, watching your videos, and discussing the game on live-streams. We really love making games, and seeing people react to your game is often the most rewarding part.

A special thanks to the people at Microprose who have all worked so hard for the game. It is a huge honour to be making this game with the Microprose logo, to be trusted with the legacy of Carrier Command, and to have the opportunity to help return these iconic labels to the front line of PC gaming.

A final thank you to the people at Valve, for everything you have done for PC gaming, and continuing to be the greatest gaming platform.

I am terrible at Carrier Command 2. Most of us will be, at first. There's a little comfort in that. Its very concept depends on there being a lot to manage, and much of its challenge comes from having to deal with that. A fair bit of the satisfaction springs from mastering all its parts, both discretely and in combination. But after playing it for several days, I'm still nowhere near an expert. I doubt I ever will be.

And that's okay. But I think this falls a little too short of its potential as a single player game to fully win me over.
