Here's the May progess update for Star Traders 2:

May Progress Update

Dear Captain-Backers, 

Here we are, a full month into the spring season, sending out another glorious Kickstarter update. We’ve had a very productive April and development progress continues to rip along. This month our top focus has been Missions, Contacts, Motivation Engine and filling out Ship Decks.

In addition to the development of the game, we’re also working on our Kickstarter Backer Rewards. We wanted to share another “thank you” to everyone who participated in the Naming Rights reward. We have received hundreds of very clever name suggestions and are adding them to the game. It is really a lot of fun to see our backer’s ideas in the prototype as we test and develop new features. If you did not receive the Naming Rights invitation through KickStarter, but believe you should have ($20 or higher reward), please email me at andrew@tresebrothers.com and I can help.

The next reward we are going to fulfill is Join the Lore ($100 reward) where we will gather the interesting facts about legendary Star Traders who came before and how their legacies have trickled down into the time of Star Traders 2.

As well as new features, we continue to deepen and expand the systems we already have in place. We’ve created newly revised maps of ship decks and decided to simplify the Slots from 6 sizes down to 3 -- Small, Medium, and Large. Now, Captains are able to flip through the ship deck viewer to see individual Slots, view damage levels and deck-by-deck breakdowns. We shown off a previous iteration of this screenshot in the April update and you can see how much progress we’ve made on these features. We’ve also expanded the catalog of ship Components to three times its previous size, with exciting additions like Fuel Tanks, Pilot Assist modules, Sensors, Armor upgrades and more. It is starting to get fun to upgrade, tweak and maximize your ship.
