Star Traders: Frontiers Update #52: Only the Best

[fallen]

Update #52 arrives with a big expansion for the Contact's who sell Weapons, Armor and Gear. A flood of 21 new and expensive high tech gear has hit the galactic tradeways and can be purchased from your Fixers, Weapons Dealers and other Contacts in the trade.

For any players who have seen certain game assets replaced by black boxes after multi-hour play sessions, that is now fixed in this update. Apologies for the issue!

We're excited to add a community requested "hat" type of e-goggles to the game, giving a character a engineering flair. As they are work on the forehead, they can't be swapped with other hats, but you can have an eyepatch.

Weapons, Armor and Gear!

While in the past this has been a limited, flat list of items for sale these offers have now been converted into services with Rep and Influence minimums like all other services. Now sales of this high-end equipment is split into two major levels for each type. If you don't quality for the second tier, you can look buy not buy. For those who have impressed their contact enough to reach the second tier, some new and exciting weapon types are available.

This includes a new Otrike Heavy Pistol which packs a massive punch but costs a full 8 Initiative. Some other unique and powerful weapons are included, the Absolution Snubber and the Vigeur Longblade. With the expansion into new and exciting weapon types, we're adding new visuals as well!

You can see that this is a foundation built to be expanded. With 2 levels in, we will be adding more soon!

A big thanks to everyone posting feedback, reviews and telling friends about STF! We couldn't do it without you.
