Commanders, dockworkers, smugglers, cargo accountants, and anyone who has ever said “this shortcut is probably safe” right before losing half their hull: StarFrontier 1.2 is here.
This update makes the frontier feel more alive, slightly prettier, and just a little more likely to ruin your carefully planned delivery route.
The Mission Board has had a proper refit. It now sits proudly at the top of the hub menu where it belongs, instead of hiding somewhere in the lower atmosphere. Missions now pay out on arrival, not in advance, because apparently clients have “trust issues” after several pilots accepted payment and immediately flew to a bar/cafe.
High-risk and extreme-risk contracts are also more dangerous now. Expect possible hull damage, inspection fines, and the general feeling that maybe transporting mysterious sealed cargo through deep space was not your smartest career decision.
The Current Status screen now tracks active missions, so you can no longer pretend you forgot about that urgent delivery to Europa Research Base. If you have no active mission, it simply says None, which is also a valid emotional state after checking fuel prices.
Your ship is no longer just a questionable metal box with fuel anxiety. In Update 1.2, StarFrontier now includes ship personalisation through Ship Upgrades.
Commanders can unlock and install luxury cockpit interface upgrades, allowing them to customise the look of their command terminal with:
Want your ship interface to look like a military-grade combat HUD, a neon lounge terminal, or an aggressively expensive billionaire cockpit? Now you can.
These upgrades are available through Ship Management → Ship Upgrades, and yes, they are intentionally expensive. Space capitalism remains undefeated.
Commanders can now leave the cockpit for something slightly more civilised than eating emergency rations next to the fuel gauge.
In Update 1.2, you can visit restaurants, bars/cafes, and supermarkets at supported locations.
So yes, you can now survive deep space with proper meals, suspicious station coffee, and supermarket snacks. Truly, humanity has reached the stars.
Welcome to the StarFrontier page!
Thank you for visiting and taking an interest in this small text-based survival trading game. StarFrontier is made for players who enjoy using their imagination, making careful choices, and slowly building their own story among the stars.
This is a niche game by design: no flashy graphics, no overwhelming effects — just you, your ship, your credits, and the unknown frontier ahead. Trade goods, travel between locations, manage your resources, take risks, and see how far you can survive.
Feel free to share your thoughts, feedback, bugs, ideas, or stories from your journey. I would love to hear what kind of trader you became, what choices you made, and how long you managed to survive.
Whether you are here out of curiosity, nostalgia for old-school text games, or because you enjoy survival and trading mechanics — welcome aboard.
Explore. Trade. Survive.
Use your imagination.
