Playing with Fire: You're invited!
Renegades, we gladly invite you to check out our public beta branch - or Playing with Fire, as we like to call it. You can access by right-clicking Star Renegades in your Steam library and going to the Betas tab.
We would HIGHLY recommend backing up your save files before playing with fire as these builds could be unstable and we don't want anything to happen to your save files. A quick and easy way to do that is to hit CTRL-F12 from the Title Screen and it'll copy all your save files to your desktop into a folder called "SR_Bug_Report". To restore these files, simply paste them in to your Documents/Star Renegades folder.

Without further ado, here's our second quality of life update along with some balance changes. We've given the Paragon, Juggernaut, and the Overseers some love along with some much needed balancing to some effects from Gear that were just too powerful, especially when stacked together. We hope that you feel the changes are fair and if you think otherwise, please feel free to give us some feedback on our Playing with Fire Steam Forums or Discord server!
