Developer SolidClouds has been running MMORTS Starborne in open beta for the past 6 months. Last weekend, the first major content update with subtitles called Dissidence hit the server.
Starborne is slower than most other real-time strategy games, especially those with online elements. Compliant with Solid Clouds, each server hosts a game that runs for eight weeks. Much of that time is spent gathering troops, preparing for battle, and developing strategies … The game will be a climax battle in the last few weeks. Success depends on preparation!
The additions are as follows:
– – Special hex effect: The hexes on the map bring strategic benefits to the entire empire or alliance and sector when held.
– – Overhauled ranking: The focus is on completely reworking many of the in-game UI panels and exposing more metrics for players to measure themselves.
– – Updated Alliance Panel: Continued UI rework. Many quality of life improvements for alliance management, organization, and leader and member planning.
– – Streamlined victory: A single victory condition. All players on the server compete for the same victory goal. Occupy as many victory point hexes as possible on the map.
– – Sector War: All players will spawn in one of the three starting sectors. These large teams need to overcome internal politics and work together to win against the other two sectors.
