Major update13 Aug 2026Summer Content Patch 1!Hello SectorLords, Because there's just so much that needs to be done this month, I am splitting the content patch into two parts, with the second part being released at the end of the month. A new game will not be required for the patch at the end of the month, but is highly recommended for this patch otherwise you won't get to experience any of the new content! What's in this release: NPC Cor…
Hello SectorLords, As you may have noticed, I have purposely avoided comments and questions about conquering faction colonies or sectors for yourself or the Federation, for a good reason. So in Warp to Sector One, you are not a member of the Federation military or political arm, you don't represent the Federation, and your relations with factions are their relationship with you personally, not…
Hello SectorLords! As promised earlier in the week, the content patch is here. This is not THE major content patch this summer, that's coming in a couple of weeks and will be followed up with an announcement post. With this patch, I do recommend that you start a new game in order to properly enjoy the new content, and definitely do start a new game if you are turn 9000+ as some of you have undo…
Hello SectorLords, I will be releasing patch towards the end of the week incorporating a number of minor and major bugfixes and more importantly, more gameplay features that tie more of the game together in a complete interlocking system of systems.

Combat Upgrade: The original combat system with the Threat/Counter Hint was originally intended just for the tutorial and lowest tier Raiders in the game so players could learn the mechanics. The intended combat system is introduced in this patch, the telegraph (red bar at the top) will still show the anticipated enemy threat and now shows both the effect of that threat and suggested counter in…
Hello SectorLords! A heartfelt thank you to all of you who purchased and stuck with the game this launch week. It is greatly appreciated and I'm glad so many of you are enjoying the game.

Galacti…

I hope to give you a rich gameplay experience with intricate indepth mechanics to master across a wide tapestry of gameplay!

The Galaxy is populated by a myriad of alien races that all have their own agendas and stances towards each other and you. They will pursue their own goals which in turn can affect the galactic tradescape. One faction may declare war on another and cause prices to spike in one region, or blockade the warp lanes in another causing you to either pay more in fees crossing their territory or make t…
Space is big. Really big. There's all sorts of wonders and terrors that are hidden in vast expanse of space. So let's go find them! For more explorer minded (or loot gobliny types) you can deep scan empty sectors and find that empty sectors aren't so empty. What could they hide? Loot? Knowledge? Pirates? Space Creatures? There are well over 30 unique discoveries in the standard game, but all wi…
