  Patch v1.5.0 - Time for Expedition!

  Hello captains!A fun patch for you guys today. Expedition RefactorOne piece of feedback that has consistently been brought to my attention is that expeditions lose their value quite quickly as you progress your fleet of ships. This patch refactors expeditions to make them useful for longer.The main change is that rewards are now based on your currency generation per second per ship. When you send ships out, they will gain roughly what they would generate passively if you left them idle. The kicker is that there is a multiplier that grants a bonus if they survive, and with the new mastery system, you can build upon this multiplier.Additionally, you can now unlock buffs! Because rewards are based on the specific ships you send, sending freighters yields metal, sending traders yields credits, and sending miners yields ore. A successful expedition now also grants a timed buff to the rest of your fleet.Overall, this is a complete revamp that adds another tool for making money and XP, sitting alongside the stock market, mining, and trading. Everything ElseDuring the last few weeks, we have added so much to the game:Endless modeMastery upgradesCinema modeNew pirate logicRefinery refactorRebalanced overall economyTutorialsUI changes and tons of bug fixes It is not a brand-new game, but it is different, more fleshed out, and more polished. This is all thanks to you and your feedback. The average playtime has also gone up by almost an hour, which is amazing, and I can see more and more of you moving into the 20+ hour milestone.A big thank you for playing, commenting, and sharing with your friends.Until next time...

  v1.1.2a "Absolute Cinema (mode)"

  New patch for you space captains!Main attraction here is a new idle/cinema mode. If you let the game idle for 2 min the game will fade out its HUD, zoom and pan, and follow random ships around. It is perfect if you want to use it as a screensaver or background visual during the day, or while waiting for resources to generate. You can also toggle this on and off in the settings.I also changed some pirate behavior to make them more useful and bounties more plausible + some expedition ui improvements.Changelog:Cinema ModePiratesPlayer Pirates now match enemy pirates' speed to be able to catch up to them.Player Pirates can now attack enemy pirates that are raiding; previously, these could not be targeted. You can now rescue civilian ships.More consistent resolutions in battleExpeditionsMinimum ships is now 1 and not 0Slider don't reset if a new ship is boughtNumbers are now text input if you want to type in how many ships you want to sendNote: these are UI QoL, some more systematic changes to expedition is coming laterBug: Nano Drone prestige updated correctly updates it's UI now for ore/sPerformance: Nano drones' glow and shaders turn off at low zoomUI: Metal amount moved from Refinery Command to Fleet Command. All resources are now collected in one place, and you can see your metal before unlocking refineries (e.g., from expeditions or bounties).Let me know what you think in the forums or on Discord! It makes me so happy that more and more of you are enjoying the game, the improvements are all thanks to you and the feedback you have provided.SEE YOU IN SPACE, CAPTAINS!Edit 2026-07-24: Hotfix. v1.1.2aThere were some bugs that crashed the game with wormholes and cinema mode.Wormhole portal rendering optimization to avoid crashing at large ship amountsCinema Mode toggle now actually works (lol)Prevent edge case where game would soft-lock if the camera decided to follow a pirate that was trying to chase a freshly spawned civilian

  Patch 1.1 "The Endless one!"

  We’ve got a banger today, folks!I’ve updated the game with the first iteration of Endless Mode. The number one piece of feedback was that you wanted to keep playing after the game was "done". I hope this mode is a good first step in addressing that request. It's relatively small/simple but a good foundation.Endless Mode is unlocked by either:Beating the Campaign (the first run of the game).Selecting it when starting a fresh save.Entering it via the settings menu.Choosing any of these options resets your progress to loop 0, but you can now keep growing forever. There is a new Mastery bar in your fleet command that progresses as you play. Each level-up grants a mastery point to spend in the new Mastery Matrix, which features 17 new incremental upgrades (some with multiple effects) that impact most parts of the game (including the stocks!) to create synergy between different systems.For each Singularity, you gain a multiplier to your experience gain. You can stay in your current loop to build out your fleet, play the stock market, or watch your ships, or you can reset to start over. Each loop increases your XP gain rate, but also makes corruption slightly harder to cleanse. It’s simple for now, but provides a meaningful "numbers-go-up" feel. If you enjoy it and keep playing, we can build it out further together with more ideas!There are also a bunch of other changes and fixes. See the changelog below:ENDLESS MODE & GENERAL CHANGESENDLESS MODE: Note that some upgrades like ShipAGI and Wormholes are turned off/repurposed in this modeYou will now gain experience to a new mastery bar. Leveling up grants you a prestige point which you can spend on the new upgrades.Level requirements scales, every time you trigger singularity you gain a multiplier which makes leveling easier. The idea is that you build fleets and when you feel like you want more experience you trigger and start over. Numbers go up!Every prestige makes corruption and black holes slightly harder to cleanse.
