Greetings, players!
In order to avoid spamming your library and store feeds with a lot of smaller patch notes, we decided to compile everything changed since January 17th into this update post. Have a nice read, and enjoy playing Stellar Warfare!
Text localisation for 14 new languages
The most noticeable part of this update was the addition of text localisations for the following 14 languages:
- Dutch
- Japanese
- Swedish
- German
- Ukrainian
- French
- Spanish
- Portugese
- Polish
- Turkish
- Russian
- Simplified Chinese
- Korean
- Italian
If you do not see your language here—don't worry, this list isn’t final. If we have the opportunity to support more languages, we will.
On that note, if you are a fluent Arabic speaker or know someone who is, please contact us on Discord. We will require your help testing the Arabic localisation.
If you find anything wrong with the existing translations, please report them here:

New features
Auxilium and Dome Cruiser have received new capabilities. These two support ships, in addition to still being great versus carrier strike crafts, now feature built-in shields that expand beyond their own "zones of comfort" to cover nearby allies from incoming fire.
A new weapon damage-boosting module, "Weapon Overload," has been added. For each unit of this module installed on your ship, it will receive +15% weapon damage but lose -20% of its total health points. Players who love their glass cannon builds will surely find this module interesting.
Balance changes
- Heavy ships now grant +100% fire rate boost to mounted weapons.
- Medium ships now grant +33% fire rate boost to mounted weapons.
- The cost of the Unmaker super weapon was reduced to 3000 metal and 3000 power.
- New storage buildings now grant +750 metal and +750 power by default (previously +500).
Quality of Life changes
- The Left and Right Shift, Control, and Alt keys now have the same functionality.
- Players can now access Ship Tester mode and Single Player campaign menu from the Fleet Editor.
