Base Building DLC is coming!

[h3]Greetings Commanders![/h3]

After a good while, I'm happy to announce the Base Building DLC is finally coming! Here is a sneak peek:



Although I don't have an ETA yet, the Beta will start this month. It's a big update and, as you know, I'm a solo developer, so updates take time.
In addition to the DLC, the Economy (free) Update is also coming, which will change how trades are done and make sectors feel more "alive".

Before launch I will make a livestream on my YouTube channel to show things in action, but in the meantime, here's a summary of what's to come in both the DLC and the Economy Update:

  • Build your own stations, turrets, power plants, mining bases, gates...
  • Influence item prices while Trading with NPCs
  • New ship models of all sizes
  • New ship roles
  • New "Tower Defense" inspired game mode
  • And of course, Lots of bug fixes and requests, like: More zoom out level, more special crewman, gunners auto mining, Fleet Commander leveling when mining, etc!

I hope you'll all enjoy it :)
See you soon!

PS: There is no DLC store page to Wishlist yet. Will add asap.

Regarding “DIG” Keys being revoked.

Star Valor was recently featured in a game bundle on DIG (Daily Indie Game) website, without my approval or intent whatsoever. Although the game was available in their store for normal Steam prices since 2019, it was never intended nor allowed to be part of any of their Bundles.

In this particular case I have found it was being sold for US$ 0.33 per copy (in a 9 game Bundle for $2.99).

The administrator claims they recently made some changes to their website, and the “include game in bundles” checkbox was enabled on their end as a result of the database migration. I obviously never opted-in, nor was the option enabled when I logged-in today to see what was happening. Only a little under an hour after reaching out by email, did the option tick after another page reload.
They allege I should have logged-in more often for things to update, but never sent any messages or email related to changes in their website or sales process.

Anyway… The Keys have been revoked and the game is no longer in DIG Store. It has already been replaced by another game in that Bundle.

If you are one of the DIG customers who purchased the Bundle for Star Valor, you should ask them for a refund given the error on their end. I’m sorry you lost your copy of Star Valor this way and I’ll be happy to give more details (or even a discount) if you wish to talk to me about it on Discord (discord.gg/6YYKkmdMkp)! In any case, there will always be legitimate sales going on here on Steam or safe key sites like Humble Store or Nexus gg.

In respect to people who acquired the Bundle and lost the game copy, I'm offering a $2,99 (Bundle's full price) discount to buy the game directly from me, stacking with any discount currently on Steam. This is a 100% refund on the Bundle price and you can wait to cash it once the game enters a Sale again, if you want.
How to: reach me in our Discord (discord.gg/6YYKkmdMkp) with your revoked key.

[h3]Follow up #2:[/h3]
One of my Patreons, Bancheis (who is also a special crew member in the game), offered to pay for 10 copies for the people involved! ːsvgoldː
To claim yours, contact me on Discord as mentioned above, OR, if you don't like Discord, add me as a friend here on Steam. I will need your revoked key and send you a legitimate one.
Once the copies are out, the $2.99 discount offer will stand.
- 2 free keys have been sent so far.

Update - 2.1.2

  • Added ship: Condor (name might change): Independent Carrier, Tier 3 Frigate (size 4).
  • Remade Holocrons (the name is planned to change also). They can now be equipped to increase knowledge advancement rates, according to its type (one for each knowledge), while retaining the ability to be scrapped to learn tech level.
  • Camouflage's cooldown now scales with ship size, using the formula: 4 x ship class + 2 seconds, instead of being 8 seconds for all sizes.
  • Claymore is now a tier 2 (green) Ranger. It lost both side weapon mounts but the back one is now a 4 space 360º turret (both 360º turrets turn very slow). Other changes: weapon space -4, equipment space +5, gunner seats +1.
  • You can now set default key binds for activated equipment in the settings panel.
  • Holding shift on ship model tooltips now also show crew seats and stats of special (starred) weapon slots.
  • Added 'random ship mode' when starting a new game, where the ship model is chosen randomly, using the remaining points as a cost limit. Each unused point is then converted to 2 gear charges for that model, which can be used to craft ship enhancements (or boost scavenger's wit on Rangers).
  • Fixed enemies in story quest not attacking the player after saving and loading.
  • Added a proper model for escape pods (by Xyranoth).
  • Fixed missile trails glitch.
