Dear captains,

After long and demanding development year, we've finally reached biggest milestone - end of Early Access and full release for Starpoint Gemini 3. If you're, like us, forced to be under all sorts of pandemic measures or even lockdowns... next sequel of Starpoint series now offers at least a virtual getaway.

Visit Gemini for the fourth time, travel for the first time to Solar and Sirius systems too, meet all sorts of crazy characters and enjoy an adventure like no other.

With release version 1.0 player owned capital ships are also introduced, so despite all the differences, many of you will feel at home again!

ENJOY AND WELCOME BACK !

Hi everybody,

We hope you're all well and healthy during these hard times!

As you're all active gamers, you're aware gaming is one of the best ways to relax yourself and make at least a temporary trip to a better reality. Our LGM team has some great news to help expand your choices in this.

Starpoint Gemini 3 announced and confirmed release date! New space adventure will leave Early Access and receive final release version on October 14th!

The game received lots of improvements with the last major update a week ago, including the opening of Steam Workshop to all modders. So, any interested creative mind out there can start making their miracles and amaze fellow gamers.

On release day we will apply the biggest single update to the game since entering Early Access. The entire campaign will be unlocked, player owned capital ships will become a reality and a lot more!

Some of you will notice that a few major chunks are still not in the game, but don't worry – we wanted to avoid splitting the remaining pieces into smaller content updates, so you'll get all remaining content at the same time in one huge update.

Bear in mind that in the following weeks, you can expect more frequent updates as we prepare everything necessary for the implementation of multiple remaining features.

Last thing we have to mention is a big THANK YOU to all community members that were, or still are, active participants in our development process. Starpoint Gemini 3 got its chance to stand on its own and become both familiar and unique at the same time. Thank you for your suggestions and ideas, praises and criticism alike. We hope that those among you who didn't mind a bit different Starpoint game, will enjoy the final experience. And those that decided to pass on the game this time, thank you for valuable input and know that more games will follow from the dungeons of our studio...

Gemini is nearly ready to welcome you back once again!

Hi everybody,

We hope you're all well and happy, as we have some seriously good news this time!

First of all, development of Starpoint Gemini 3 has entered its final stages, so excitement and stress are at expected levels! And, this is a good time to include so many talented people from your ranks as well. Hence the arrival of modding support in this update! Unleash your creativity and use the tools we've created to amaze your fellow gamers.

Also, we'd like to announce that this update is likely to be one of the last updates during Early Access!

Full release is drawing close, and soon we'll be talking about expanding the full game rather then adding what's missing. At this point, we can say that full release and full unlocking of the game is set for October 14th. Many of you will notice that few major chunks are still not in the game, but don't worry – we wanted to avoid splitting remaining pieces into smaller content updates, so you'll get all remaining content at the same time in one huge update. Should be a nice surprise for all of you and allow you to be positively surprised even if you've already played the game. Yes, entire campaign is nearly finished and will be unlocked on release, player owned capital ships too, and many more things! Bare in mind that in the following weeks, you can expect more frequent updates as we prepare everything necessary for the implementation of everything that's left to be added.

We'll announce news on this hyperspace jump quite soon. For now, let's get back to what this update brings: as usual, full changelog will be listed below, and as highlights I can mention that besides opening Steam Workshop, version 0.800 brings improvements for blueprint system, and overall batch of new elements to find, explore and gather. Noticed a space anomaly in the distance? Get yourself there, explore it and gather rewards. Then sell the information to the highest bidder.

As per your request, targeted enemy objects will now display additional HUD information regarding that target. It's easier to eliminate enemies if you know them, right?

Another useful addition, also requested by many of you, is ability to plot your course on the Starchart. If your desired destination is further away, setting a waypoint will now automatically plot the most handy course there, taking in consideration fast travel Nav bouys etc... Never get lost anymore!

Trading system received a sizeable rebalancing package, so get rich in a meaningful and fast way!
For those that found drone missions too challenging, your dear ADAH got an early Christmas present – an active deployable shield.

Very soon specific news on remaining features will follow, and we'll also reveal more on upcoming D-day, the full release.

Meanwhile, enjoy the today's update and stay tuned!

As for our studio, we had an interesting year full of challenges, and we certainly hope we added to your positive gaming year. Starpoint Gemini Universe continued to grow, we pushed some new boundaries and laid the foundations to finalize greatest project we ever embarked upon.

We hope many of you will have some time off in the next couple of weeks. Take a good rest, play some good games and charge your batteries for another wild year ahead.

LGM Games team

You haven't heard from us in a few weeks, but don't worry. We just kept our head down and worked hard on Roadmap update No 2. Along with the planned update elements, we managed to complete a few more things in advance, so a couple of surprises await you!

No more easy pickings dear space captains. Your ship is loaded with missiles? Fine, your adversaries have plenty of decoys and they are not afraid to use them! You're proficient with cut engines maneuvers? Won't help you – enemies will have tricks of their own with new AI and behavior routines. But you're not helpless – to give you a fighting chance, newly introduced crafting system enables you to be creative and engineer a plethora of items and equipment to enhance your survivability.

Your feedback was also noted, and some improvements have been made to existing features as well. Anyway, without further delay – what's in store for our finest captains this time?

One of the pivotal new systems is crafting. You acquired a dirty amount of credits, but you simply aren't happy with any of the items available at the drydock? Wait no more! Now you can gather blueprints and materials to craft those hard to acquire equipment and weapons.

• Collect blueprints from destroyed ships (will be further improved with updates to open up additional ways to gain blueprints)
  
• All items in the game (with some exceptions) are in some form linked into the crafting system, either as an ingredient or as a craftable item on its own
  
• Create anything from better (more complex) items to equipment and weapons

Some of the above mentioned additional gear could come in handy when traveling through dangerous areas, because this update also introduces the radiation mechanics. That’s right! [/i]A nanoscrubber a day, keeps death away[/i], as my mechanic used to say.

• rather important visual warnings will scream at you
  
• gameplay effects come in the form of lighter or heavier critical system failures before your hull starts to crumble on a molecular level (yeah… stay radiated long enough and you’ll be a deader)
  
• added radiation areas in all sectors
  
• added VFX & SFX to complement the gameplay effect
  
• added in a bonus of Nanoscrubber equipment to clean that radiation right off. Like a hot shower that removes residual radiation without actually cleaning you… so… yeah… not really like a hot shower. *scours away to find a better-suiting analogy*

To keep a perfectly balanced equilibrium, as all things should be, we've also „equipped“ your adversaries too! AI, both friendly and hostile, received a fresh batch of AI routines. Don’t be surprised if the enemy suddenly drops a mine in your face to ward off any of those nasty ideas you had about destroying him. As far as the untold story in the subtitle goes, it will remain untold :P.

• Besides coming in all types of ships, the NPCs now also come with a whole range of different behaviors. Some are more aggressive, some lean more on the defensive side. Some like to keep close to you, like an over-clinging ex, while others will keep their distance like you have the plague.
  
• AI will now utilize a bunch of different flight maneuvers to gain the upper hand when attacking or to get away when they’re in your sights.
  
• AI becomes increasingly more complex as you progress through the game.
  
• NPCs will now use decoys to avoid getting hit by missiles. Of course, not all and not all the time
  
• NPCs can now drop mines when their ships or egos are threatened

The previously implemented portion of the campaign also got a fresh coat of paint (and then some) in its upgrade process, but most of the changes in this update will be visible in the freeroam portion.
The focus of this update is enriching the gameplay, giving You, the players more to do and ways to do it. Many elements of this update are also a prerequisite for some of the upcoming gameplay mechanics, planned to be rolled out with next update!

…rebalanced the hell out of a lot of things

• different wings now have a different number of turret slots.
  
• player ship hull module HP increased significantly
  
• player ship shield module HP increased significantly
  
• player weapon energy cost increased somewhat (in some cases significantly)
  
• overall weapon damage increased (smaller increase with scatterguns as they were OP to begin with)
  
• Player shield recharge increased
  
• Player shield reboot time reduced
  
• higher tier NPCs deal significantly more damage
  
• higher tier NPCs have significantly stronger hulls and shields
  
• Freelance jobs are paid a lot better. A number of changes and a major rebalance overhaul are coming in the next few updates!
  
• Loot drop value is increased across the board.
  
• boost speed decreased and now varies depending on the engine installed
  
• cruise speed decreased to 300 for all ships
  
• player ship modules prices

…overhauled the entire flight model

• A number of booster and cut engines tweaks and upgrades
  
• Completely rebalanced flight-related stats (much faster lateral and backwards movement for example)
  
• Added a few missing controls and made a lot of overall quality-of-life improvements

In the end, we leave you with our mandatory long list of the other stuff we made for this update. The honorable mentions if you wish. Feel free to pick your favorites!

CHANGES

• ADDED: new equipment and additional equipment tiers
  
  • the already mentioned Nanoscrubbers take that accumulated radiation edge off
    
  • Higher tier decoys lure angry missiles away

Hello to you all again!

The Starpoint Gemini 3 combat system, lovingly (as well as sarcastically) called DAWGFIGHT SYSTEM, hits the next checkpoint. The latest update introduces the complete skill system, imagined not as a do-all-end-all mechanic that enables you to obliterate the entire universe with a single push of a button, but as the perfect blend between using special abilities and passive bonuses and dogfightging.

The skill system is here to extend the combat gameplay, not substitute it!
