Lord of Rigel News

[p]Greetings Lords of Rigel! Release 1.14 added something many community members have long waited for, alternative technology starts, In addition, a community requested feature to add extra Doomsday Clock pressure was also added as an optional advanced setting.[/p][p][/p][p]Image 1. Updated Advanced Game Settings Menu with Tech Level Options[/p][p][/p][p]These updated settings include the standard game start (Average), Post-Warp which adds some additional technologies and BCs, and Advanced which adds additional ships, colonies, BCs, and technologies. (unless you're an Exile faction, they don't get extra systems)[/p][p][/p][p]Image 2. Humans with an Advanced start[/p][p][/p][p]But, most importantly this update adds in "Lived in Galaxy" mode where non-elder species have a randomized technological start. They may have an early technological advantage or a default start. These are tied to your galaxy seed, so hitting "random" to change the seed will alter which factions have the advantage in this mode.[/p][p][/p][p]Expect some more small content updates and quality of life tweaks in the coming months.[/p]

[p]Greetings Lords of Rigel. For this month's community update a new end game weapon makes its way to the galaxy: the Black Hole Generator. As black holes are the ultimate spooky thing in the universe it seemed fitting for the season. The BHG is a weapon of tremendous power, causing area of effect damage and disabling ships caught in its wake. This also comes with some under the hood optimizations for area of effect weapons in tactical.[/p][p][/p][p]Image 1. The Black Hole Generator in action.[/p][p][/p][p]Image 2. Black Hole Generator in the Tech Tree[/p][p][/p][p]This update also includes five new custom faction logos! Check them out below:[/p][p]Image 3. New Faction logos in new game [/p][p][/p][p]What's planned next? As mentioned last month there been great quality of life suggestions on the forums and ideas for some alternative game mode options. Some of these suggestions may make their way into future updates over the coming months.[/p][p][/p][p]Feedback and any bug reports are welcome on the steam forums and in our discord.
