Starlathe

Thanks for all the feedback and Support, if your request or bug find isn't included here don't worry i saved them on my notes they will be definitely included in the next updates! New Auto Course: right-click any system on the galaxy map > Auto Course Here. Your ship flies itself there gate by gate, going around enemy space when that costs at most 2 extra jumps. On the sector map, click your ship and right-click a spot to fly there, or right-click a station to fly there and dock. Any flight key takes the controls back. You can still aim and fire the whole way. Set Waypoint: a marker and course line you fly to yourself. Fleet orders from the maps: select fleet ships on the sector map (click, Shift+click, Shift+drag a box) and right-click a spot. They fly there in formation and hold that position. You can also send them to another system from the galaxy map. Galaxy Size: Small (about 100 systems), Normal (160), Large (250) or Huge (400) on the New Game screen. Bigger galaxies need a stronger PC. Starting Location: keep Default, or start in a low-level system of the Federation, Free Traders, Mining Guild, Independents or Syndicate. Vanguard Striker: now a starting ship fr

Thank you for every report since launch. New Run Supply fleet order (Convoy Detail skill): set a route between two stations with the goods to carry, or let Auto-balance move spare goods between your own stations. Home Station for Mine and Scavenge: the ship works that station's sector and unloads into it. Loot Collectors: every faction station sweeps up abandoned loot. At your own station, assign one of your ships (with a Magnetic Collector) from Station Info. Station Upgrade: upgrade your own station to the next tier in place. Station Info > Upgrade, deliver the materials with U, and a builder does the work while your station keeps running. Sector rent: building in a faction's sector costs monthly rent (750 Cr for an Outpost up to 7,000 Cr for a Nexus). The faction asks before you build. Upload your own pilot portrait in the New Game wizard. It stays on your PC only. Sell blueprints at faction stations for credits. Blueprints you already know are marked "Known". Discord status: your Discord profile shows "Playing Starlathe" and what you're doing (can be turned off in Settings > General). Galaxy map: hover a system to see your ships there an

Thank you for every report since launch. New Run your own station. At a station you own you can take goods out of its stock or store cargo into it for free, give every good an order (Use in Production, Keep for Me, For Sale, or Buy Up To an amount), set every refinery, factory and shipyard line to Run Only This, Never Run or Automatic, and switch the station crew on or off. A Broker trades with a friendly market in the same sector once a day, within a wallet reserve you set. Your residents' taxes are paid to you as Station Income, your fleet's "Sell" share and Cargo Drone hauls are stored there for free, and repairs there cost nothing. Dreadnoughts are for sale. Every faction capital and Fortress always keeps one in its showroom, and builds the next one when it sells. Shipyards on the maps. Station cards and the galaxy map show what a yard sells, for example "Shipyard: up to Dreadnought · 3 for sale". Jobs and story tasks show where to get the goods. For example "Buy 40 Protein Rations at Trade Hub (Tarsis Reach)", or the factory that makes them when no market has them. Navigation leads you there. Deliver in trips. Deliveries bigger than your

Thank you to everyone who flew Starlathe on launch day, and to everyone who took the time to post a bug, a review or an idea. This patch is built almost entirely from what you told me. Your game updates to v0.1.1 automatically; the version shows in the corner of the main menu. Docking and travel Docking is easier. The dock ring now has three rows of lights with a yellow middle row, and "Press E to dock" works anywhere from the ring inward to the station. Gate jumps are about three times faster and never take longer than 10 seconds (they took 12 to 40). Your escorts follow at the same pace. The Warp Drive spools up in 2.5 seconds (was 4) and the fold takes 2 to 12 seconds (was 3 to 20). You can't save in the middle of a gate jump or a warp. A better start New pilots start in a sector of level 1 to 15. The starting drone launches with Point Defense, which can hit enemy drones, and carries a Mining Laser in its hold to swap in for mining. New games only; your saves are untouched. Trivial and Easy bounty crews no longer bring their drone wing. Ship handling Ships handle heavier, for more of a space-sim feel: acceleration, turning, strafing and braking are about 35% slowe
