Hi everyone!

It is almost the middle of the month, so a fitting time for next Starpoint Gemini 3 Early Access update!
Since it's summertime, and the pandemic situation shows no signs of easing, we hope you're still keeping yourself safe and healthy. And clocking some good gaming hours is luckily one of the things that can help with maintaining your safety and distancing while still experiencing a bit of good old fun.

There are a number of improvements in this update, we've included a nice list of fixes and upgrades based on your feedback throughout various forum discussions. Two things will stand out though – firstly the beginning of implementation of a second gameplay „style“ that leans more towards simulation.

Note that all these incoming options will be possible to switch on and off in the game options, depending on whether you prefer to play the game as a more pure action game or more simulation oriented. In this update we're adding the radar screen (for both cockpit and 3rd person cameras) with overview of the surrounding situation. Hope you'll find it useful!

Second important thing is the introduction of achievements. There are over 100 of them, and you'll be rewarded with various achievements from the very start of the game, for any number of activities: exploring, using different weapons, destroying enemies, reaching certain stages of the campaign etc... In main game menu you can check out the entire list of reached achievements as well as those yet to be reached.

Hope these additions, along with many other fixes and upgrades will supply you, ladies and gentlemen, with more goals to play for in this summer heat. Meanwhile, we're going back to player capital ships mechanics that was already announced earlier. We've done some good progress there, but it wasn't yet fully ready to be added with this update. If all goes well, it will be the backbone of next one.

Full changelog for this update is here:
CHANGES:

* ADDED: Ingame active radar, can be toggled in game options
• ADDED: Achievements are now activated and can be gathered
• ADDED: Entire new Darwin sector colony
• An option to turn off shadows, helpful for slower configurations
• ADDED: Collectable derelicts throughout sectors. Players can shoot at them, and they can eject loot drops until they are destroyed
• ADDED: New mining facility structures with mining effects
• ADDED: New batch of German translations
• UPDATED: Freelance mission markers don't transfer to different maps
• UPDATED: Adjusted level of drone damage received
• UPDATED: Drone events added: weapon fire detection range
• UPDATED: Cutscene SFX is now bind to overall SFX option slider
• UPDATED: Detection markers on interior drone missions improved
• UPDATED: Ambient near planet Jupiter improved

Hello to all of you!

Big day is here – this is update log for release version 1.0 !
We know many of you were anxious for any further news and updates, so here we are, with some good news! Hopefully new waves of pandemic didn't impact you too much. Apologies for not updating you sooner, but we had many closely linked parts of the game in development pipeline recently, so we had to proceed ahead very carefully.
This update will change the game a lot in many aspects, and combines both version 0.900 and everything else for version 1.0!
Game will change significantly after this mega update. Old save files should still work, but due to many differences in game versions, there is a possibility of some problems with very old saves, so if you can, starting a new game is advisable, but not necessary.
Game now includes all planned content for version 1.0, but our work doesn't stop there. We're continuing to improve and expand on number of features and all of that will be released in post release updates.
In the end, big thanks to all that participated in this development process, be it with praises or criticism, feedback or ideas. We wouldn't be here without you!

Update 1.100: Santa's presents

Hello everyone!

Just before Christmas, we've completed another round of improvements and additions. Version 1.100 finally allows your capital ships to have autofire mode and properly use their firepower. This autofire system will always use rear and side weapon turrets, as these are hardest for players to use personally due to capital ship slow turning momentum. Now they will automatically engage any enemy within firing range and arc ( if he is not in front of you).
We've also eliminated several frequent bugs you've reported, and tweaked stations trade inventories to make collect missions and crafting more accessible.
With that said, we're proceeding to further tasks, and to all of you we extend best wishes for the upcoming Holidays. Stay safe and celebrate as much as possible in these circumstances of the Year 2020. !
