Commanders!
I am sending a distress signal of the highest magnitudes to your battlestations! We have detected a strange presence of an unearthly megabehemoth entity after uncovering these ancient plans to what seems like.. a buildable precursor ship?! Whatever it is, we need to react fast and use the necessary means to take down these monstrosities before they wipe out the rest of our star fleets! As always, the crew is standing by awaiting your orders..Commander.

DLC Features

You want the good news or the bad news first? Good news: you closed a Chruul portal, congratulations, no more Chruul spawn ruining your day. Bad news: the damage has already been done. The weakened dimensional elasticity of your galaxy has allowed other strange creatures to somehow leak into this dimension. And some are big enough to swallow entire fleets. Good thing you found an ship schematic unlike anything you’ve seen before, hidden away in the depths of Halcyon 6’s data archives.
*NOTE*: Old save games will not see the DLC content. A new game start is required to experience the DLC.
CELESTIAL BEHEMOTHS
Hunt and eradicate 5 different species of Celestial Behemoths to obtain Precursor artifacts
Upgrade your Precursor ship using the collected artifacts
Hunt and eradicate 5 ancient Behemoth Elders for powerful trophies and lore
Boost the power of your fleet by equipping Elder trophies onto your ships
PRECURSOR STARSHIP
Start your battle against the Chruul on the right foot by adding the Precursor ship to your fleet
Upgrade your Precursor ship all the way to TIER 6!
Unique New Precursor powers can reduce enemy resistances to make combos easier
For more tips and H6 dank memes, join our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/uJxj7tg
Good luck out there!

Dev Log v1.4.1.0 - Ur-Admirax difficulty + Art book
Greetings Commanders! We're back from Gamescom and have some awesome news this week in terms of content for you all! I’ll start first with this one... We have added a NEW difficulty for you guys - WARNING: not for the faint of heart! Ur-Admirax is the new difficulty level above G
Greetings Commanders!
We're back from Gamescom and have some awesome news this week in terms of content for you all! I’ll start first with this one...
We have added a NEW difficulty for you guys - WARNING: not for the faint of heart! Ur-Admirax is the new difficulty level above Grand Admiral! Can you handle the heat? Or will it be the end of your fleet?! We have also rebalanced ground combat encounters to be tougher further into the campaign - so say a prayer for your fellow green shirts!
Pixel art has always been something our entire team has been passionate about, and we are so excited to share with you the art behind Halcyon 6 from its early stages of pre-production to our now in-game final art! Our artbook contains 49 pages of pixelated goodness designed for you by our artists and content designers. This art book was a previously timed exclusive just for Kickstarter backers, but now made available for purchase to further support our dev work on Halcyon 6!
The Art of Halcyon 6 can be purchased here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/706910/Halcyon_6_Lightspeed_Edition__Artbook/
BUG FIXES:

Fixed bug where difficulty levels were not affecting difficulty of ground combat encounters
Ghost Pepper Bomb no longer removes Blinded status effect
Delayed Recovery now has limited uses
Fixed bug with some space monsters having the wrong class type
Fixed various typos in scripts and tutorial
Fixed bug with XP upgrades for new officers
Last but not least.. We’d like to thank you all for your support of Halcyon 6 and hope that you love Ur-Admirax as much as we do! Feel free to share some action-packed Ur-Admirax screenshots and videos on social media and tag us with the hashtag #halcyon6game #uradmirax so we can retweet you :)
