- Update Version 1.1.3.0 - Difficulty hot fix - 22 November 2016
Thanks to a recent review, we've noticed that there was a bug that made the Rookie difficulty far too hard - oops! We released a hot fix for that today so it should now be back to normal. We've also took the time to make some small changes to the balancing based on other feedback. As always, please let us know if you spot any bugs or have specific feedback here on the Steam Forums. - The Blazing Griffin dev team V 1.1.3.0 PATCH NOTES Balancing Developer Comments: Rogue ships could use bombs too frequently and were able to achieve very high burst damage. So we’ve reduced their ability to fire bombs as often and increased their DPS through Photon Blast to compensate. Enemy rogue ships no longer have access to the Breach Bomb attachment Increased the energy cost of Breach Bomb from 1000 to 2000 Increased the energy cost of EMP Bomb from 1000 to 2000 Increased the energy cost of Ion Bomb fr…

As always, please let us know if you spot any bugs or have specific feedback here on the Steam Forums. - The Blazing Griffin dev team http://i.giphy.com/3oriO605lz8hF21aHS.gif V 1.1.2.0 PATCH NOTES AI: • AI no longer wait for long periods without using attachments and should now activate their attachments more consistently. • AI should now activate their attachments in more relevant situations. • AI Pulsars should now prioritise the most relevant ships for their pulses.

- Distant Star: Revenant Fleet Version 1.1 is here! - 9 September 2016
It’s been a little while since our last Distant Star update but we’ve been really busy working on a big patch alongside the on-going development of The Ship: Remasted. After reading all of your comments and reviews over the last few months, this latest patch is designed to address as much of your feedback as possible. We’ve been working on everything from large scale difficulty balancing down to small sound bugs and we really hope you’ll feel a big difference. Below are the patch notes but we’ve also included comments from the team so you get an insight into how these changes will affect your experience. REMINDER: The update is a big one and unfortunately that means that old save files WILL be wiped when it is installed. If you want to keep your current progress, please ensure that you set the game to update only when launched and play in offline mode until you're happy to make a new sa…

- Version 1.0.8.7 Released - 9 March 2016
A few updates based on player feedback: Each ship will no longer gain a phase warp critical for using escape. Escaping now costs 3 supply up from 1. Repairs are more likely to appear in non-repair specific shops. Reduced the price of Critical Repairs from 4800 credits to 3000 credits. Supply is more likely to appear in non-supply-specific shops. Increased the price of supply from 1000 to 1500. Removed the discounted stack of 10 supply from shops. Increased the discount on the 5 stack of supply from 5% to 20% – now only available in supply shops. Attachments and ships are no longer selected as a shop’s stock based on their price (will now see a larger variety of items, earlier). Toned down the event that would cause High Command to remove all of a player’s supply and credits, as a punishment for destroying their cargo ships: Reduced the cost of bribing the enemy from 30% of your credits…
