 This week's update for Star Traders 4X Empires introduce a new map of massive proportions, packed full of worlds. To go along with the new big maps, we've made some enhancements to the AI's strategy on larger maps, helping them expanding more inline with their race profile. We've added a new tech and upgrade, allowing you to now install the immense Orbital Platform 6 to house your Faction citizens. We've done some work to rebalance the oversized reactors, the 8000+ mass ones, helping tweak the balance of super-sized ships. v2.6.19 - 8/4/2016 - New Map: Degla 80x80 Map (90 Worlds) - New Tech: Orbital Habitation 4 - New Upgrade: Orbital Platform 6 - Rebalanced 8000 Mass Reactors - Xeno Strategic AI Updates for Large Maps (50+) On Google PlayStar Traders 4X EmpiresStar Traders 4X Empires EliteOn iTunesStar Traders 4X Empires EliteStar Traders 4X EmpiresOn Amazon App StoreStar Traders 4X EmpiresStar Traders 4X Empires EliteOn Steam for Mac and PCPC, Mac and Linux |

Cool cool
Any chance there could be another Skin Pack released in the future?

any news on the iTunes front? They still haven't released the previous update, is this one just going to leap frog it?

Is this new map the hardest one yet, because of all the worlds?

Is this new map the hardest one yet, because of all the worlds? I actually think "The Garden" with all Xeno AI turned on is the hardest one in the game. This new map was more focused on terrain and giving the player the potential to fight a 2 front battle. This type of map (1 vs. 2 with player terrain advantage) was regularly requested by ST 4X players, so I did my best to make such a map. If the new map is the hardest yet, then I missed the mark. If you play, let me know how you think we did. |

If in hex, I could try to make some maps and share with players, only the problem is you need rooted phone to put them in by self, but that can be done otherwise... |

We'll keep looking into our options to provide a mod kit for maps some day, but with such a small team it is very hard.
Hope you'll help us by sharing the game and leaving a review!

Count on it. you use hex right? C would be hard to make for you guys, so that's my guess... I think I'll try my luck by at the beginning trying to mod your made maps and see what can I do, but that's in September not faster |

They can tell you, but then they'd have to torp you... |

Fallen can neither confirm nor deny that he makes the maps on a computer at all as opposed to willing one into existence.
