- Polaris Sector: Lumens - New science options! - 26 October 2017
Today we’ll look at the improvements to research brought by the upcoming DLC for Polaris Sector, Lumens! Science in Polaris Sector: Lumens has the same overall innovative scheme as in the base game, with research in Fundamental Sciences unlocking Applied Sciences through which new technologies are discovered. However, in the base game, each race generally follows the same path through the science tree (apart from any special techs that they’ve chosen during setup). In Lumens, each of the races has different tech trees that both move around the existing technologies to emphasis the race’s different approach to life and also add new sciences and technologies! For instance, rather than the core Fundamental Science of Biology, the Erians study Entelechy (a parallel, but bespoke philosophical theory on the basis of life). This then feeds into different Applied Sciences than, say, the Humans.…

- Polaris Sector: Lumens - The new race - 23 October 2017
Today we’ll have a look at the new race which gives the name to the new expansion for Polaris Sector, Lumens. They are added on top of an already large roster of playable races, and will be providing a new experience to Polaris Sector players. What are the Lumen? Pure light that can take on any form, Lumen can even moderate how brightly they shine. They’ll dazzle you one minute and light fires the next. And while they masquerade as angels of light, they are evil beings who would conquer the world if they only had the desire. Instead, they prefer fights that could go either way. They draw their energy from stars, so long flights aren’t their cup of tea. It’s much easier to just attack anyone who ventures into their systems and resort to piracy as the need arises. They don’t have a strong taste for other beings’ things, though they’re partial to a quaint little knick-knack every once in a…

Hello galactic commanders and sci-fi aficionados! Today we’re publishing the first in a series of articles about the upcoming expansion for Polaris Sector, Lumens!

We’ll start with all the new options and minor features that will be at your disposal. Galaxy Generation New options have been added to let you fine tune your galaxy even more! In addition to defining the number of stars, number of planets per system, percentage of habitable planets, the mineral richness of the sector and its 3D layout. You can now also define how many “goodie hut” artefacts and fast-travel wormholes are available and also whether you’d prefer to start on the edge or centre of the galaxy. With so many options there are now countless possible combinations to choose from allowing for endless rep…

After extensive testing, the 1.04c patch for Polaris Sector is released! The game is constantly being upgraded, and the developers have recently asked the community what they would like to see in the next major update. So stay tuned for more news! Changelog: • Vast modding API improvement • Heroes backend is now fully functional • New types of space object types in additional to planets (asteroid belts, for example) that can be colonized and developed • Destruction of planets • Weapon type that can fire capital ships only (ex. SW Death Star weapon) • Customizable look for missiles • Satellites and stations can now have fuel cells and refuelling stations to act as a refuel and repair bases far from colonized planets • Separated fuel reserve from travel range, meaning that a ship or station without engines (and thus no travel range) can still has a fuel reserve • Added the possibility for…
