Starpoint Gemini 3 – Update 0.700 Live

The developers over at Little Green Men Games have put together a new early access update for their space RPG Starpoint Gemini 3. The update expands the game’s free roam features, adds a new space sector, improves the game’s loot, crafting, mining, and more. You can find the complete patch notes below, along with a general overview of the update:

Hello!

We hope to find you all good and healthy! In these challenging times, and on the brink of summer, we’re determined to give you, good gaming girls and guys, some good stuff to play with in the upcoming weeks. Our Early Access continues, and time is right for yet another update!

This update also targets general gameplay and freeroam features. Some of the added things are also here to lay a further foundation for introduction of player-controlled capital ships, others are focused on expanding the remaining maps and a more eventful universe.

Full changelog will be listed below as usual, but highlights are the addition of the new Jupiter sector in SOL system, a new Templar freeroam mode, updates in crafting and loot drops, new mining options etc…

Some of you will also recognize several additions/tweaks of previously existing features, and if they are familiar, yes, it’s because they are based on a number of suggested and commented things on the Steam community hub. We are monitoring everything you say, and we try to answer everybody as soon as possible. And if you do have an idea that can work better than what we envisioned; we’ll be happy to adopt it.

We’re still a few months away from completing our primary list of planned game elements, so you can expect some major updates in the future, including remaining „big“ features that will have a huge impact on overall gameplay. Until then, enjoy the start of summer, relax if you can, and above all, keep yourself safe and happy!
