addedThe Summer Sale is here! Starport Delta is 25% off during the Summer Sale , so now is a good time to grab a copy for you or a friend! We're excited by some of the changes around Steam, including the new Points shop . We can't wait to see which reviewers start getting Community Awards as well!

changedFollowing on from adding "Normal" and "Challenge" difficulty modes to the first two missions in v1.0.16 , this update adds the same selectors to missions 3 & 4. With more security scans, menu updates and more, this update touches a lot of points around the game. We will continue to add more difficulty modes to the campaign - we want more players to experience the story and learn the mechanics without the pressure of the harder objectives. If there's a mission you're stuck on or feel is too challenging right now, please let us know !

addedThis update also includes some bug fixes and balancing requests from our community, including building repossession being less random which has frustrated a few players when very particular buildings were randomly selected for repossession that became a challenge to recover from if they were unable to buy them back in time. The small resident ships flying from housing complexes to the port make stations feel more alive, and we're looking forward to updating these moving forward and adding more to make each station more vibrant.
