Heyho Captains!


We have a plethora of new bits and pieces for you in this new Update (1.7)! Most prominently, the long awaited Delta Flyer!

Built in the Shuttlebay, the Delta Flyer brings a brand-new questline with Tom Paris in Sector 7, construction mechanics, and a combat ally role that won't split your rewards. There are also new Delta Flyer-specific branches in several existing quests, including "Old Friends, New Enemies", "The Drone", and "Uprising".

Beyond the Delta Flyer, 1.7 is a hefty quality-of-life and stability pass - overhauled bridge UI, PlayStation gamepad support, a wave of quest fixes across some of the game's bigger storylines, and a bunch of crash and save game fixes.

Console players will have to wait a little longer, as (unfortunately) is usually the case - the patch is coming to consoles in early June.


PS: (While we are at it - Are you at FedCon? We are! So come around and say "Hi!" and chat a bit about the game)
