Hi Captains, it’s Kip – General Manager of Magic Fuel Games, here one last time before launch!

Our team has been on quite the journey. In just 5 days we’ll welcome all of you to the Captain’s chair as you experience the story of the X’Lehari System and uncover the mystery of the Tetryon Rift.

What we don’t want to be mysterious are the technical details of that experience! Star Trek: Outposts Unknown will release at $32.99 USD on October 20th and at this time, will only be available via PC on Steam, with Mac support to follow in a future patch. 

System Requirements

While our game features complex logistics and deep simulation, we wanted to keep it as accessible as possible to players with all sorts of hardware configurations. You’ll be able to play Star Trek: Outposts Unknown at reduced visual fidelity with at minimum:

To enjoy the game without compromising its look at feel, we recommend:

We’ll do our best to continue optimizing post-launch, as we want as many of you as possible to experience our game!

The Homestretch

As we approach launch, our development has been focused on polishing existing features and fixing bugs. 

This could be quality of life improvements such as detailed tooltip popups that show on hover where any one of our 55 unique resources can be found or produced.

To have more control over resource storage organization!

We’ve also been balancing around fun by increasing crew walk times and reducing harvest times across the board. Another good example of this is network infrastructure, which is now mostly free of cost and instant to build.

We also acted on feedback around your crew’s night shift: adding new POIs that only reveal themselves at night, and an improvement on how shifts across the day/night are managed and tracked.

This last month has seen many other changes and tweaks thanks to impressive amounts of feedback, and we can't wait for you to experience the result of that work!

Reddit AMA @ r/STOutposts

You might still have questions before launch! We’d like to do our best to answer them in an AMA today in partnership with /r/StrategyGames, r/StarTrek, and r/Tycoon!

You can head to r/STOutposts for the mega-thread. Please, ask away!
