v1.1 - It's nearly here!

With an update so big it keeps breaking character limits on Discord, the Cloudfire Studios team has been hard at work since the v1.0.18 update. Currently in beta and coming out later this week is our monolithic v1.1 update, packed with a lot of requests from our community, including new buildings, a research map, new camera options, upgraded lasers, copious amounts of balancing and more.

With community feedback being such a strong component of this update, we always welcome communication of all kinds from our players through the Starport Delta Discord, the discussion boards, support site or regular old email. You can also chat with our Cloudfire Studios Support user here on Steam. We read everything we can to help improve your experience of our game.

If you're interested in seeing Starport Delta in your language, make sure to let us know! We have a dedicated localization requests channel on the Starport Delta Discord and we're listening on all other channels as well.
