Lord of Rigel Sale!
For thousands of years humanity has looked up to the stars... and now with the Steam Space Exploration Fest you can shape the galaxy.

A space strategy game meant to modernize the classics and reduce micromanagement, Lord of Rigel has 10 playable species in a galaxy locked in a cold war between two elder species. Do you side with the Rigelans who wish to force species to evolve according to their great plan or with the chaos of the Arcturans? Explore new worlds and through conquest, diplomacy, or espionage determine the fate of the galaxy.
Week One Update
Greetings Lords of Rigel! It's been a busy week with hotfixes implementing fixes to some critical issues, balance, and quality of life adjustments.
Fixes:
Gaia and terraformer build queue filter
Elder species tank firing points
Autoexplore range rounding, sorting by distance, and updating unexplored list fixes
Disruptor weapons no longer have separate no range penalty mod
Morale technology calculation fixes
Cases where ship designer system pulldowns could have not refreshed data
Disabling retreat when you have one system and it is under attack
Critical- Fix for cases where tutorial text would not save between game sessions depending on how game was exited. Note: It will still reset if entering the tutorial or applying changes with the tutorial text option on.
Quality of Life Improvements:
Research tooltips show researchable, discovered, or requirements for future research.
Double click to save game in a slot
Ctrl+Hover scan ship in tactical
Keybinding conflict mentions conflicting binding
Balance:
Planetary shield damage reduction
AI is smarter on bombardment use with planetary shields
Ground combat and surrender technology capture chance reduced
Early warning for space monsters
Content:
Turvari the Yalkai Exile joins the fray. Unwilling to use their telepathy to hide their true form, Turvari was banished by their sisters.
What to Expect Next:
A warpout timer for tactical was a community requested feature. This will be based on drive type.
Additionally, the tutorial text reset will be tied to a separate button so hitting apply in the settings menu won't reset tutorial text.
Also a special shout out to Spacegamejunkie for their kind review, comments, and bugs they encountered which have been resolved this week.
While we are out of Early Access, we want to focus on critical issues and community quality of life improvements over the next few months.
