Smugglers 5 is the fifth instalment in the turn-based science-fiction space trading game series. Will you be a greedy trader, an ambitious fleet pilot or a ruthless pirate? Board enemy ships, manage factories, conquer star systems and forge your own galactic empire - ultimately, your actions will have an impact on a galactic scale.
Smugglers 5 1.7:
- Technical revisions (Sourcecode and compiler)
- Bug fixed: There were some rare reports on Windows 10 when at startup the game showed error messages looking for a file, which was correctly in the game folder.
Smugglers 5 1.6b (Invasion only)
- Bug fixed (Invasion): In the Smugglers 5 Invasion DLC: "Warrior Within" there was a freezing bug in the "Golden Claw" storyline when you Stoyline step "Fraz Trokar (1)" when you Visited the moon in the Hrrashnath system.
- Bug fixed (Invasion): In the Smugglers 5 Invasion DLC: "Warrior Within" the descriptions for the stories Golden Claw and Warrior Within were reversed.
- Bug fixed (Invasion): There as a freeze when revisiting the Rasguul Base exploration story (in one of the three available storylines for this planet).
- Bug fixed (Invasion): Graphic bug where there were switched left/right pictures for Jalkath carrier
- Bug fixed (Invasion): There was a reference to 5 factions when you founded your pirate empire (in Invasion there are only 2 + your own faction).
Smugglers 5 1.6 (Invasion only):
- New DLC: Smugglers 5 Invasion DLC: "Warrior Within". This DLC is a compilation of background stories and is named after the first of the three stories. Upon installation the player can choose to play one of three short but dynamic and multiple-pathed background stories, which will lead the player through the game.
- Important information: In some rare cases it appears that due to a Steam bug on some PCs the windows in the game are not locked, like they should be. If opening a window while another one is opened, this will create a "modal" event/error message and previous windows can no longer be opened. This may cause a lot of weird errors in the game and may make the whole game look messy! This is a Steam library issue and no bug in the game! It´s possibly a compatibility problem between Steam and Windows. To solve this I suggest to uninstall Steam and all Steam games. Then reinstall Steam and the game in a newly created Steam Library (e.g. C:\NewSteamLibrary). Alternatively you can use the DRM-free version from "www.nielsbauergames.com" (when purchasing you also get a Steam key).

Smugglers 5: Invasion Now On Steam
In case you have missed it, Smugglers 5: Invasion is available on Steam since 16th October.
[IMG]http://www.nielsbauergames.com/contentimages/Smugglers5CoverExp.jpg[/IMG]
The Invasion expansion adds a new alien race with new ships, new skills, new star systems, an improved combat system, improvements to the game graphics including screen resolution and much more. There are significantly more stories to explore in each new system, and full combat carriers with bombers, interceptors, and escort vessels. With hundreds of different skills, many starting professions, and the ability to change the course of the war, Smugglers 5: Invasion is the turn based answer to every star captain's dream.
Smugglers 5: Invasion starts where the original game ended. After years of civil war, the Federation finally emerged victorious, crushing all rebel activity. The galaxy looked forward to a period of peace, a chance to repair the damage of a long and bitter war.
Then came the Jalkath, a new alien race. To the humans, they looked much like the tigers of Old Earth, and they soon proved themselves to be every bit as cunning and dangerous. The newcomers were swift and brutal in their assault, deploying terrifying weapons and subjugating entire systems before their victims even knew what was happening. The Federation has rallied a defense against the invaders, as both sides struggle for dominance.
Now, war has returned to the galaxy. For the right kind of captain, it’s a whole new chance for fame and fortune. Will you fight for the survival of your race? Trade and smuggle goods to make your fortune? Or play both sides against each other for your own profit?
This is a different scenario and does not replace the original Smugglers 5: Secession, which plays in a different timeline.
