zzokalj: As for remaster, after 10 hours, I have to say that it's cool. It supports 4k resolutions, it can look amazing with Depth of Field, Advanced Lightning, HDR Bloom, there are many effects that make it different experience while keeping the original Homeworld story and charm. :)

I tried classic HWs too and they are cool, but liitle outdated compared to remaster. Comparing HW2 classic and remaster, there is nothing to complain about in remaster. It's kinda cool.

Still, many people reported bugs and crashes so it's better to wait for a bit although I had zero problems in 10 hours.
So when will Starpoint get a sale price of $6? Hint hint XD

zzokalj: I wouldn't check this as solved yet. :-/

Unfortunately, since GoG and Steam are not related in any way and since our publisher is not giving GoG version to Steam players and vice versa, there is no way to migrate. :(

I'm not saying that Secrets of Aethera won't be released on GoG, I just said that it was approved on Steam and that is not in any way related to GoG, so we have to see how GoG handles DLCs and under what conditions we can release it here.

GoG guys are friendly, but they don't have Steam's logistics so things take more time. Also, GoG was famous for Good Old Games, games that ALWAYS worked when you bought them, unlike Steam where half of the old games just crash or won't work due to compatibility issues. But on the other hand, new games are not given proper treatment on GoG, that's also true. I kinda hope that Galaxy client will solve all that and that it will be released quickly.

As I said before, the process of updating Steam version of the game is a piece of cake. We just upload the update and that's it, all users get it automatically. Here, we have to make a separate build (remove Steam achievements and some other thing), send it to GoG. Then GoG teanm test it, repack it with their packer and push the update here. That's the reason for a delay between Steam and GoG.

Anyway, we really appreciate your support and we understand that those delays are frustrating sometimes, but the process of updating GoG version is a bit longer than on Steam.

As for DLC, we will do our best to release it on GoG, but I cannot give you any confirmations yet since we don't have any specific info on that. Of course, I will keep you all informed. That's the least I can do as a part of dev team.
Hopefully you will change your minds... I will be waiting to buy the DLC if it hits GOG, but I don't buy from Steam unless I absolutely have no other choice. Online DRM is the devil.
We will keep you posted when we have any new info. :)
really nice thing that the devs stay in contact with their customers and answer their questions in the forums..
i ll get the dlc too as soon as it is realeased here :)

If I told you that know, I would have to kill you. :)

I can just tell you that titans will come, but it's a lot of work so don't expect it as an update. It will probably be a DLC. ;)
They were actually requested by the community some time ago.

I haven't played the game in a while, but was wondering; is it possible to have more than two 'wingmen' at one time? It would be awesome to be able to build up a small group to raid stations and bases. If this is already possible then feel free to smack my head with a rolled up newspaper.
No smacking necessary.
For now, you can have up to two mercenaries, but we are thinking of expanding on that in the future.

oh the killing thing doesnt matter...my curiosity will kill me anyway...i really hope we will get the dlcs here too and the titans will be reeaaallly big (i did miss really big ships in freelancer allready and i am happy that u have at least a dreadnought class here...but theres always space for even bigger ships XD)


did u ever think about to implement your logo-ufo as an easteregg ship? ;)
We've sent inquiry to GoG a few days ago and we are waiting for their response regarding DLC. I hope we'll get a way to publish it here.

Our logo as UFO? I like that idea. We talked about it a long time ago, but I think it was not implemented in the end. At least I didn't see it yet. :D

I hope you hear something soon. I still haven't had a reply from anyone moderating here or from support on v1.3000

The DLC would be a welcome bonus and I don't see why GOG should deny my purchasing it after selling me the base game.
So... still no news about the latest patch getting released on GOG?

I can be patient as far as the DLC is concerned, but I'm getting a little irritated at the game randomly freezing on me, when I know there's already a fix implemented.

I've put in a support ticket to GOG (not trying to be a nuisance, just want some news on what's happening about this), but still haven't heard anything back.

Anyone else had any better luck?
Update was sent to GoG on 22. Februar, and DLC 23. Februar. We don't know anything else. I hope something will be released soon.

No luck here. It's not the devs that are behind in this matter (I know you didn't say that but I'm just clarifying for you).

GOG staff have completely ignored me on all fronts when it comes to this game's lack of attention from them. I see plenty of updates happening with other titles. I'm sorry but the QA system is a joke in its current state and the more they hope to expand and bring in newer, frequently updated titles then the further they are going to fall behind.
I hope they release it here soon as well, looks like a game that will have lots of future content released.

With future DLC I prefer extra content that you do not have to finist the game to get.

Hope to to see it here although i have the game on steam and here i would rather have the dlc here and the update. please gog release it soon please .
