• Strife of Stars – Post-Demo Patch Notes (Aug 29 → Sep 9) - 9 September 2026

  Thanks for all the demo feedback. Here are the changes: Gameplay & Balance Court swarm survival battles end as soon as every enemy is destroyed. Action pips and the capacity HUD stay "spent" through the enemy turn instead of relighting on End Turn. EMP fixes: correct timing on the target's next turn, no permanent capacity inflation, no zeroed weapon capacity. Ptah's Sacrifice Shield is now battle-only. Patched Kill Registry pays +2 tokens per kill (was +1). One Ascion early-mid encounter trimmed. Enemy AI now accounts for the damage floor, flank armor and terrain, and should think ~40% faster. Anhur AI predicts its barrage lanes, fires ahead of your movement, and no longer retreats to protect itself. Barrage no longer fires after a kill whose shot is still in the air. Shop & Fleet The shop blocks Leave while your fleet is over capacity. Flawless-victory prelude bonus is shown on the vic…

• New patch - preludes introduced - 15 June 2026

The redesign aims to improve radar signatures and heat profiles at no change in cost to any Sato-Miller ship available for sale in authorized facilities.Changed how Vanguard, Hunter and Raptor abilities unlock. They now unlock through an offensive item upgrade.Vanguard ability changed: Artillery mode moves to another unit, and the Vanguard now has the Overcharge upgrade.

• New patch: More win conditions, easy mode and settings - 20 May 2026

  This patch has been focused on a few things. Adding more win conditions to the game. Adding a new easy mode in an attempt to better onboard new players. Adding more QoL settings such as windowed mode full screen, different resolutions, and as usual, a lot of bug fixing and balancing.Features and interesting changesPhasing reworked - exiting phasing now reduces 1 max HP for the rest of combat. Phasing is still strong, but chaining kills on a phased ship is no longer perma-invulnerability.Armor and movement modifier rework - these items can now be applied to any ship type and propagate fleet-wide (apply a move modifier to a Ptah → all your Ptahs get it). They also stack with themselves, so allows further fleet customization and late-game scaling.Difficulty selection - new Containment level 0 easy-modeSettings menu - Fullscreen / Borderless Windowed / Windowed modes, with resolution option…
