Update #110: The Long Haul
Update #110 adds a new faction-specific ship to the Zenrin fleet: the Arcanum Freighter. This new freighter is a lightly armored, long-haul cargo transport that excels at safe and efficient operation. Built in the tough and focused Zenrin-style, it comes with multiple reinforced components, a barracks ready to hold its full 30 crew and an impressive 135 base cargo capacity. As usual, the AI hasn't been given access to this ship, but will in future updates.
We had some great requests from within the community this week for new unlockable content -- specifically the starting profession Commander and a starting Contact who can hire out Pirates. We're excited to deliver both and to send big thanks to all the community members sending in suggestions! The "Faction Defender" achievement now unlocks Commander and the "Privateer" achievement now unlocks a new Contact type, Blackheart. Of course, Blackhearts -- retired privateers -- will appear in new games and be generated in all games regardless of the achievement, they're just locked as a starting option. They're very useful in their ability to deliver variety -- offering low grade Ranks, Edicts and Permits as well as Pirate recruits and Combat Armor for sale.
With this release, we've made some changes to the rules for a few Talents to help improve their utility, limit unfair use and fix bugs. In Black Market Talents, we've renamed "Word in the Hall" to "Underground Whispers" and made it an active Talent. Now, it removes a risk card and replaces it with a friendly Rumor card. It won't help you get into the market, but it can sure help you dodge that Confiscate card! Second, we've fixed the issues with Illicit Notoriety that were preventing it from working on some of the cards that granted you access to the markets. Finally, the Threatening Entry card -- an Intimidate check to gain entry to the black market -- now has the chance to boost you up to a access level 3, as if you had a rank 3 permit. Second, we've improved the ruleset around "Strict Search" and "Rigorous Search". Both now cannot be used more than twice in a single encounter with a Smuggler. However, in both cases, the Talent is more likely to uncover hidden cargo, even in the case where the enemy cargo hold seems full. Finally, "Bold Statements" now gives Rep to the correct Faction for Trade Bans.
There will be a long road of small tweaks to orbital salvage balance until its a perfectly tuned system. In this release, we've downgraded the max of the credit reward cards you could score. You can still get the big bonuses from Traits, Talents and Components, so rely on those to get big credit hauls. Second, we've tweaked the Trait mutation paths throughout the system, more fairly applying new traits in both negative and positive events.

Command your ship and crew as a space pirate, merchant, bounty hunter, and more in Star Traders: Frontiers – an epic space RPG. Venture forth into a massive open universe rich with the lore of the Star Traders. Choose your path by assembling and commanding your custom crew and spaceship in a constantly evolving galaxy torn by internal strife, political intrigue, and alien threats. Will you fly as a pirate terrorizing shipping lanes, join the solar wars as a military captain, or track targets across the stars as a fearsome bounty hunter?
First there was the Exodus – when survivors of a great war left the ruins of the Galactic Core behind in search of a new home in the stars. Scattered worlds were claimed on the fringe of the galaxy. Each pocket of survivors held on to their isolated set of worlds while trying to rebuild under the great law of Shalun. Three centuries later, technology has brought them back together again. Discovery of the hyperwarp has bridged what was once unimaginable distances between far-flung colonies, long-lost families, and political factions.
With that reunification has come great economic prosperity. The hyperwarp reestablished the transportation of cargo, goods, and technologies between the quadrants – but it has also brought great strife. Political rivalries have been rekindled, blood has been shed in age-old feuds, and the fires of war have been stoked. Amidst the political infighting, a ruthless revolution is rising – and the fervent explorers of the hyperwarp have awoken something that was better left asleep.
Great conflict is a time of great opportunity. For you, an aspiring Star Trader Captain who has just been given your charter, now is the time to capitalize on that opportunity.
Our very first game, Star Traders RPG, took hundreds of thousands of gamers on an interstellar adventure. The success of Star Traders and its overwhelming positive reception helped to launch Trese Brothers Games. It was the adventures of our community’s star-crossed captains that put us on a trajectory to share more of our worlds, ideas, and dreams through digital games.
We set out to capture the loneliness, bravery, and camaraderie of people living together in a spaceship sailing across the stars. It’s time to take the helm and breathe life into the these stories, characters, and stars.
It is with great pride that after the release of four other games in the Star Traders universe, we’ve created a sequel to the original Star Traders RPG. We reached out to our fan base of Star Traders Captains with our latest KickStarter campaign and pitched our ambitious plan for an all-new open world sci-fi RPG.
Step onto the bridge of your starship, take to the stars, and create your own story in Star Traders: Frontiers. Instead of being our first foray, we have brought all of the knowledge and experience to our latest and by far most ambitious project.
- Explore a rich, open universe: Discover endless procedurally-generated galactic maps, meet unique characters, and take on enemies to conquer the galaxy!
- Become an intergalactic captain: Take on the role of a spy, smuggler, explorer, pirate, merchant, bounty hunter, and more (21 jobs total)!
- Customize your own spaceship: Choose from more than 300 upgrades and build your very own vessel to venture across the vast reaches of space.
- Assemble and tailor a loyal crew: Assign talents and equip specialized gear for every spaceship crew member.
- Experience an ever-changing narrative: Decide to make friends or foes with other factions and influence political, economic, and personal vendettas.
