Be the first to play "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" parts 1 and 2! There's a bandit ship attacking innocent vessels and Commander Harken needs you to track down this villainous scum and show them the error of their ways....
The Last Starship is in Early Access, which means it isn't finished yet, but that hasn't stopped many of our community logging over 50 hours of play. Our plan is to release 3 or 4 free updates to TLS this year. We're hoping to hit V1 launch in early 2025, but for now we need an intrepid bunch of players to be the first to explore strange new bugs, to seek out new missions and new modes of playing, to boldy go where no gamer has gone before...
= New mission interface
Quality of Life improvements for the Mission Summary (top left of the screen):
You can now 'Turn In' any completed mission directly from the mission summary
A new diamond-shaped location icon has been added to any objective that specifies a destination. Clicking the diamond will immediately bring up the sector map and highlight that location. This makes it very easy to navigate to the required locations for a mission.
There is now a 'Prepare to jump' button in the Sector Map, for quick and easy alignment
All mission types updated to take advantage of these new buttons.
= New Story Episodes
We have begun work on a series of story-based episodes.
The general idea is to tell short stories with a rich cast of characters, and each story episode will be broken down into 2 or 3 parts. This involved the creation of a new Episode Manager system, and a substantial upgrade of the Mission system. Story Episodes will automatically become available in the Mission Interface at the appropriate time.
We have plans to add many more story episodes, now that this system is complete. Nb. Story episodes are available in Stargate mode, and in Free-roam mode. They are not available in survival mode. The Tiddlets mission remains available in Survival mode only.
