Hope you'll have fun!
We also gave some attention to reported issues with Win 7 compatibility. Some tweaks have been made and log tool improved. If any of you still experience issues, please contact us and provide new logs so we can gather more information and iron this out completely. At this point we're unable to recreate the issue on our side anymore, but all additional data from you is welcome!
Hope new stuff will gave you some more diversity while playing, and we're proceeding to next things on our list...
A number of additional bug fixes, fixed and upgraded Boss fights, improvements to borehole torpedo mining and corrected some achievements... you have a full weekend ahead to check it out!
We've made some modifications to the tutorial and hint system, resolved a number of bugs and we're also introducing additional cockpits for your ship! They can be accessed through the in-game customization panel, and will be unlocked either after the last campaign mission, or right away in freeroam scenarios.
Alongside more new game elements that will keep coming, we'll also be working on resolving issues you report. Some were already taken care of, so to avoid unnecessary wait, the update went live immediately, while we're already hands on the next one!
We'll be short in this announcement, as we need to go back and tackle thr next update. So much more can be made better...
List of change is here:
You can expect updates to continue and a number of improved and expanded game features to increase in the coming days and weeks, starting with new cockpits for the freeroam mode, additional docking cutscenes, further improvements to capital ships and much more...We're starting the work on a new update later today!
Full list of changes is here:
Before anything else - THANK YOU - for being with us in another Early Access process, thank you for spamming us with feedback, emails, support and criticism. All of that combined, gave us a chance to reach this awesome milestone. Our work doesn't stop here. Version 1.0 means we've now implemented all elements of the original development plan, but through testing and your feedback we've also identified what else could be improved and added. So, expect further updates to be applied beyond the first release version. In short - you're awesome and we invite you to stay awesome!
We won't be adding a specific changelog this time simply because it's simple - everything still locked to date is now unlocked: the entire storyline and player controlled capital ships mechanics.
For all of you playing older save files, according to our tests, with entire content now available, there shouldn't be issues with loading these saves. There might be exceptions with very old saves from dated Early Access versions, but that depends on many factors.
Anyways, we hope you'll enjoy the game. We recommend you don't rush it, there is a lot to explore and discover, beyond the path the storyline will take you. Use every opportunity to freeroam you get, prepare properly for challenges, and blast them all to pieces!

Anyways, in the next couple of days, you can check out the massive content of this update. Full list is below, but in short – gameplay-wise, we've changed pretty much everything. New missions, new encounters, new sectors, new weapons, unique weapons, unique blueprints, new ship modules, complete rebalance of economy and difficulty etc...
There are also many tweaks added according to your suggestions. We couldn't include them all (yet) but step by step.
The overall feeling of the game, pace of advancement and credits earning is now very much different from before, but note that this was needed to improve current gameplay, as well as a preparation for the upcoming player-owned capital ships. They will be big and expensive, so you'll need to be ready for them.
Hope you'll enjoy everything new, and will get ready for Thursday the 5th. On that day, we're making another large update, unlocking the entire campaign and introducing capitals ships.
And if you thought it's all over after 5th, no it isn't. We already have plans for updates that will take the game past version 1.0 and beyond...
Bottom line is, we’ll continue to make updates, but release version 1.0 will be a little bit postponed. We sincerely apologize for this and hope you won’t be too disappointed. We are at this point talking about small delay of only a week or two, but it will help us boost the game experience significantly.
Many of you offered great feedback and ideas how to improve a number of features, and now that the bulk of the game is completed, we’re looking into these things and realized they really do make a world of difference despite being, at a first glance, small upgrades. From the bottom of our hearts - thank you for such active assistance and all your effort. Improved game experience will be a reward at the end of the road.
We understand many of you have been waiting for the full release, and we promise these few weeks will be put to good use. Best possible experience is what we’re aiming for, and what you deserve, so please, don’t be too hard on us for taking a little bit more time to put everything in perfect order!
We’ll update you on further news shortly!
LGM Games team
This update targets several game areas where many community members suggested some improvements. New ways to earn credits and other rewards is being introduced - visit caverns on space asteroids, explore them and gather loot. If you get tired of all this hard work, some asteroids will also have lakes where you can relax and fish some nice space fish. They can also be exchanged for a handsome sum of credits later. A little note to everyone here - space caves will respawn loot after awhile, so you can gather it more than once!
Crafting panel has been reworked and some useful data added, so that players have a better idea what is invested into creating an item and what will be the end value.
Along with new game elements, work on tweaking and improving previous ones is also continuing, this time with some campaign missions modifications that affect balancing and difficulty, updates to the encounter system and ironing out several bugs that prevented successful completion of a few encounter quests.
Lastly, some optimization elements are finally ready and we start with character optimizations that will improve framerate during cutscenes.
More details on this update is here:
Allow us to use this opportunity to extend our gratitude to all community members that actively support our development process. In upcoming updates you'll notice chunks of your ideas and suggestions, so thank you for all the constructive input.
There is still lots of work to be done, so if we make some mistakes due to relentless pace planned for next several weeks, please feel free to inform us, and give a bit of time to sort everything out.
As for this specific update, in regards to gameplay flow, and difficulty issues, the secret word is money. We've increased the rewards for bartender missions, rewards for every eliminated ship is also increased. Furthermore, we started tweaking the recently added wormholes to further increase how quickly players can pocket some serious credits.
You'll also notice changes to a number of places where the game is saved, especially during the campaign, and also locations during the campaign where you can dock and restock on needed supplies. You can expect more of this in the future.
Regarding LGM's „service shop“ in the last week, we've resolved the crash happening when entering some wormholes, fixed twitching of camera in cockpit view, improved support schematics for several joysticks and HOTAS devices, and worked on eliminating excessive sensitivity of plugged controllers while playing with mouse.
There are numerous other improvements but you'll see that during gameplay itself. Next update will go live sometime next week, so stay tuned! If you feel this announcement is written too fast and with few details, fear not, it's only because we have so much stuff we still want to include to game, so we're jumping back to that!
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 than adding what's missing. 
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 the 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 into consideration fast travel Nav bouys etc... Never get lost again!
The trading system received a sizeable rebalancing package as well, so get rich in a meaningful and fast way! And don't forget to say hello to Doug Jones, a roaming space trader you're bound to meet at some point...
For those who found drone missions too challenging, your dear ADAH got an early Christmas present – an active deployable shield.
Full list of changes is here:
One of the sizeable upcoming changes linked to Capships is the upgrade of AI for both smaller ships and capital ships. We'd also like to note that some of the previous player ship modules are now reworked and will be making a comeback. In general, expect a ramp up in update freequency in the near future since there are so much cool stuff we need to "stuff" into the game before it's completed. We're pretty positive many of you will have good fun rather soon!
Another thing we wanted to let you know is that, according to previously announced schedule, Starpoint Gemini 3 is about to receive its last price change. As of Monday, August 3rd, game price will be increased for the last time in this Early Access cycle. This price will be the final one and no more changes are planned until and after the release.
So, any of you wanting to try out the game, or planning to get it in full version, you still have a few days to make use of lower Early Access price if you want.
In the meantime, we'll continue to have a very active and dynamic summer. Plans for next couple of months are very extensive, and game will start to change quite fast. There are a lot of features and various game elements that are nearly finished but can't be unlocked separately. So, expect lots of news, good news in the near future!
Stay safe, healthy and in good spirits!
LGM Games Team
Note that all these incoming options will be possible to switch on and off in the game options, depending on whether you prefer to play the game as a more pure action game or more simulation oriented. In this update we're adding the radar screen (for both cockpit and 3rd person cameras) with overview of the surrounding situation. Hope you'll find it useful!
Second important thing is the introduction of Steam achievements. There are over 100 of them, and you'll be rewarded with various achievements from the very start of the game, for any number of activities: exploring, using different weapons, destroying enemies, reaching certain stages of the campaign etc... In main game menu you can check out the entire list of reached achievements as well as those yet to be reached.
Hope these additions, along with many other fixes and upgrades will supply you, ladies and gentlemen, with more goals to play for in this summer heat. Meanwhile, we're going back to player capital ships mechanics that was already announced earlier. We've done some good progress there, but it wasn't yet fully ready to be added with this update. If all goes well, it will be the backbone of next one.
Full changelog for this update is here:
Also, we'd like to share a quick preview of what's coming next – among other things in the upcoming updates, you can expect steam achivements and finally, the introduction of player owned capital ships!
Full changelog for this update is here:
List of changes is next:
So, what's new? Well, to check this out, you'll need about 5 seconds of playtime - starting with the main character. Jonathan Bold was given a complete overhaul, from the 3D model to animations. The old model has been removed, since, you know... Gemini isn't big enough for two Bolds.
What's more important is that Bold's journey continues further with this update. For the first time after Early Access launch, the main campaign is unlocked several steps further. There are new places to visit, new characters to meet, new intrigues to uncover... In the new missions you'll be able to start noticing changes in the main character’s personality. These changes will become more and more significant later on as we near the final stages of the campaign. The beta game version does not enables the entire storyline, but pushes it several steps ahead.
All of you that already played through the game, will also notice that the first part of the campaign has also been upgraded with new animations and scenes. This is the plan till the end of development - to upgrade and polish everything, including the already implemented game elements.
For destruction-oriented addicts we also have a couple of treats. The first is the arrival of anti capital ship combat mechanics. You now have weakpoints to target and exploit on these juggernauts, but beware - they also bite back and usually aren't alone. Note here that this system is just a small part of what we'll need later for player commanded capital ships. The second treat in this category is the addition of ADAH combat mechanics - our sweet drone can now encounter bad drones and waste them. ADAH can also find and gather loot on her away missions. Oh, and did I mention that the ADAH model is also replaced with a new enhanced one?
Of other important news - we've revamped the loot reward system, mining rewards including „rich asteroids“ system, made changes to the UI and added a number of UI elements, added lots of events, encounters, between-faction events... Basically, the freeroam dimension of the game is also getting a serious boost. More places to visit, more stuff to see and more events to participate in. All of that will generate more opportunities for experience and level gains and ship improvements.
Before we post the intricate details of this mega update, one information for all players - as we already mentioned as expected situation earlier - from this update you, unfortunately, you won't be able to use your old saves. We tried our best to keep the consistency of save files throughout all updates since September last year, but this massive update simply changed too much, both in the campaign and the freeroam mode. Forcing old saves to work with this version would cause a lot of unforeseen issues, so it was unavoidable. If all goes according to plans, this will be the only such situation during development, and we figured it's better to do this synchronization now rather than later when much more gaming hours could be in jeopardy. We hope you understand why we had to do this.
