Latest revision as of 13:07, 31 July 2023
On 11 July 2022, Introversion Software first released The Last Starship to an initial set of playtesters who signed up on the Steam store page. Playtesters played the game and provided bug reports, suggestions, and general feedback via the Steam discussion forums. The playtest ended on 15 February 2023 with the start of the public Early Access release of Alpha1D. The release of Early Access made the playtest builds inaccessible. The demo was removed sometime around 20 February 2023. This changelog is provided for historical purposes.
Alpha1CEdit
The public demo was released on 26 January 2023. This demo included only the New Game game mode. No official changelog was released.
The seventh update to the playtest was released on 27 January 2023. This disabled New Game mode and introduced a new ship editor and Creative Mode.
We have updated the Playtest build to include the latest ship editor and Creative Mode. We have disabled the other parts of the game for now - we'd appreciate it if you could help us test the editor and creative mode, and provide feedback for those. Thanks!

Alpha1AEdit
The sixth update to the playtest was released on 10 January 2023. An updated Windows build was released the same day.
NEW CONTENT
- Ship Editor
- An entirely new in-game ship editor that allows you to change your fleet ships, or desgn and build new ones.
- You must be at a shipyard to commit any changes, but you can make design changes at any time.
- You can load any ship directly into the ship editor from the Main Menu.
- Any ships you create with a value of less than $1M will be usable as New Game start ships
- Ships can be exported locally, or uploaded to Steam Workshop.
- New Ship Library
- We now have a library of ship designs, including many sourced from our talented Playtest community.
- When you visit a shipyard, you will find many ships for sale, including those designed by the community.
- Some ships for sale will be just the empty hull. Others will be pre-equipped and ready to fly, if you can afford them.
- Any ships you subscribe to from the Steam Workshop will be automatically included for consideration
- Any ships in the library with a value of less than $1M will now be available to start in the New Game menu.
- Ships you create are added to the ship library and will be available for purchase in game, at shipyards.
- Steam Workshop integration
- You can now share any ship you create from the main menu, by clicking the "Upload To Steam" button
- You can subscribe to any ship on the Steam Workshop, and it will be included in your game world via the Ship Library
- You may encounter that ship as an enemy vessel, or as a ship for sale.
- Combat encounters improved
- Combat encounters now use the Ship Library to create suitable enemy forces.
- You will now encounter a much larger variety of enemy vessels.
- The enemy forces will scale in difficulty based on the capability of your fleet, and your combat rank.
- Sometimes you will face just one or two very powerful enemy vessels. Other times you will face a large fleet of much smaller ships.
- Enemy ships have been given a rudimentary pilot AI, but this will improve in future
- The old boring combat mission has been removed
- It has been replaced with a sector-wide objective to eradicate all hostiles, which resets after each sector.
- You can earn big money by cleaning up each sector this way.
- Evasion chance
- During combat your ships now have a chance to evade incoming weapons fire
- This is based on the incidence angle between the ordnance and your ship
- (head on into fire gives no evasion chance. Side on (travelling fast and close to the enemy turrets) gives max evasion chance
- The faster you are travelling, the greater your evasion chance
- The faster you are turning, the greater your evasion chance
- Small ships gain the most from this. Large, slow heavily armoured beasts gain the least.
- On-screen award system
- Completing any mission or objective will now show an on-screen award
- The award shows your money earned, as well as any XP points gained, ranks increased etc
- Compass widget / detach camera control
- There is a new compass widget at the top of the screen, that shows the direction the camera is facing.
- You can click it to toggle if the camera is attached to the current ship, or moving freely.
- This is very useful during heavy combat where you can detach the camera from any one ship
- Settings menu (Main Menu)
- Controls for UI Scale
- Controls for Sound Volume
- (More to come)
- Lots of new artwork
- Lots of new audio
- Equipment resizing
- Lots of placeholder artwork has been replaced with final art, and some equipment has changed size.
- Thrusters are now 3x1 and sit entirely within a wall
- Engines now resized to 7x4 to better fit their sprite footprint
- Docking Ports are now 6x2, to better fit their sprite, and to give more delivery space
SMALL CHANGES
- The visualisation when placing equipment is now different, and is based on the normal view rather than the schematic view
- The basic Praxis starting ship now has a Small tank and a Medium tank onboard
- You can now repair structural damage from the SHIPYARD menu (when at a shipyard)
- FTL Charges now come in a stack of 1 (previously 100)
- FTL Travel has been sped up
- FTL drive now draws 80MW of energy when charging, instead of 100. (So as not to shut everything else down)
- Void Collapse slowed down and made to start further away in each sector, so you have longer before it arrives
- 'Weapons Free' and 'Exterior Work' are now enabled at the start of a game by default
- Passengers will now sometimes stay on deck during transport
- Travelling in hyperspace 'through' the void now causes structural damage. Be careful!
- NPC miners will now leave after mining a small amount
- Ice Comets are now shown in the sector map
BUG FIXES
- You can no longer 'turn in' the flight ready mission
- You can no longer turn in an industry/mining mission unless you have enough ore
- The Void Collapse predicted size is now accurate when in Home Sector
- Drones will no longer continue repairing a ship that has been destroyed
- Drones will now properly deactivate when their home ship is destroyed
- You will no longer receive CO2 warnings from enemy/neutral ships

NEW CONTENT

- Clear Proximity Mines (contract)
- There is now an incredibly low risk combat mission available early in the game, to clear proximity mines
- Designed to allow players to practice combat with virtually zero risk
- (Requires a weapon system of some kind)
- Loaders reconsidered
- We have noticed many players getting stuck when trying to figure out Loaders for the first time.
- You now start the game with a 'Fuel Loader' and an 'Oxygen Loader'. These operate identically to the old Loader, but only for their resource.
- The original loader is still available and can supply any resource as before.
