Hotfix 0.8a
Changes:
Reduced engagement range for Reinforcements in Endless Mode - they will not immediately fly towards the next wave after it is spawned
FIXED Endless Mode Leaderboards showing only top 9 players
FIXED Multiple errors popping up when issuing ship commands from the Tacview
Update 0.8 - Endless Mode is Out!
Hello Pilots & Commanders,
It's time for another major update—packed with bug fixes and the long-awaited return of the original wave defense mode, now remade as Resource Warzones!
Check out the official update trailer below:
Resource Warzones (Endless Mode)
Resource Warzones introduce a new way to jump into fast-paced combat scenarios that put your fleet's loadouts and compositions to the test. The objective is simple: defend your mothership from endless waves of enemies while it extracts local resources. Each quadrant in the Sector Map features its own unique Warzone, tailored in difficulty based on the enemy faction in that region. Currently, two Warzones are available—one facing off against the Marshall Gang and the other against Tyrcorp. A third Warzone will arrive with the full 1.0 release of Space Reign, once all quadrants are unlocked. You won’t lose any ships in this mode, and each run records your score along with all enemy ships destroyed. Get ready for some intense, action-packed battles!
The Mothership
In Warzones, your Mothership becomes a mobile base of operations, equipped with unique mechanics—including the standard fleet resupply system found at stations. After each wave you defeat, you’ll be able to upgrade its passive systems such as armor and repair speed, and equip weapons to its 13 hardpoints—making it not only the largest, but also the most heavily armed ship in the game. You can also hire mercenaries to expand your fleet, bringing in a variety of ships and loadouts to help counter the escalating enemy forces.
Leaderboards
As mentioned earlier, each Warzone run tracks your score—and with that in mind, we’ve added a simple online leaderboard system so you can see how your performance stacks up against other commanders! Your score increases with every enemy ship destroyed, with points awarded based on ship class. We’re excited to see how high you can climb—good luck out there!
What's Next
With our focus gradually shifting toward Chapter III—as some of you may have noticed from the recent poll for the first cruiser-class ship—we’re now hard at work on the final Quadrant. This new region will introduce fresh sectors, additional weapons, and, of course, the cruisers themselves.
We're also collecting as much feedback as possible to prepare for a major balance pass, adjusting ship stats and squashing bugs ahead of the 1.0 release of Space Reign. Version 1.0 will mark the completion of all planned content and core features, with future updates focused solely on bug fixes and overall polish.
Watch out for the next ship polls coming soon - still need those juicy names for all the Cruisers!

Hello Pilots & Commanders, Chapter II is out, if you haven't seen the update preview, let's take a look at what's new again! 🚀
Update Trailer
New Playable Ships
Heavy Frigates and Destroyers
Broadsword
Broadsword trades quantity for quality, featuring fewer weapon hardpoints but allowing it to mount larger, more powerful weapons with more firepower. Well-armored and built for durability, it can take heavy punishment in battle. However, this strength comes at the cost of some speed and agility in its category.
Fenrir
With seven weapon hardpoints, the Fenrir excels in offering a flexible loadout, allowing for a variety of weapon configurations that other ships in its category lack. While it may not carry as many larger weapons, its versatility makes it a formidable threat. Additionaly, it is quite nimble, enabling it to outrun other vessels in this size.
Taurus
Since the conflict with the Marshall Gang, Nova Tech acquired their most formidable vessel, the Taurus. As an entry-level option for fleets in need of a heavy frigate, the Taurus offers solid durability and firepower, making it a reliable choice for those seeking to bolster their forces with a tougher ship.
Barracuda
As the standard issue destroyer for NovaTech battle groups, the Barracuda combines versatility and agility, as well as advanced sensor suite, making it a key asset in any larger fleet.
Minotaur
NovaTech's answer to the Tyrcorp Claymore-class destroyer, the Minotaur is a powerful and well-balanced vessel. It features seven weapon hardpoints, including two S3 slots for the big guns. With a perfect balance of speed, agility, and durability, the Minotaur represents the peak of NovaTech ship design, offering a formidable presence on the battlefield while maintaining flexibility in combat.
Fighters
Katar
Similar to the Hyena, the Katar is a fast and agile light fighter. It stands out with three S1 gun hardpoints and one S1 launcher, offering a balanced mix of firepower and speed. Ideal for pilots who prioritize offense and maneuverability, the Katar excels in hit-and-run tactics but lacks the durability for prolonged engagements.
Sabre
Designed for sheer firepower, the Sabre is equipped with two S2 gun hardpoints and one S3 launcher, delivering unmatched gun-based weaponry in its class. While it sacrifices the number of launchers for guns, the Sabre maintains good armor and decent agility for its size. It is a formidable force in close-quarters combat, able to dish out heavy damage while holding its ground.
New Weapons
FTS-22 Flak
Older weapon design known for its flexible use against any target including missiles and ship modules thanks to its promixity fuse and great area of effect. However, it's hull damage output is significantly lower than other weapons in its size.
KBC-40 Burst Cannon
Sacrificing accuracy and range for a huge damage potential, burst cannon can shred even better armored targets in close-combat situations.
HEAR-T Rocket Launcher Turret
Turret version of a dumbfire rocket launcher that can fire a continuous salvo of unguided rockets, dealing a lot of damage to any target, regardless of its armor. Limited ammo requires frequent resupply.
PDL-1 Point-Defense Laser
Advanced missile defense weapon based on latest laser technology. Long range and high damage output make it the best option in the point-defense category. The only downside can be found in its size, which requires S2 hardpoint, thus sacrificing offensive capabilities for missile defense only.
MBC-90 Heavy Cannon
Dual-barrel long range heavy cannon turret. Designed for long-range engagements against large ships like frigates and destroyers, this turret delivers powerful shots capable of penetrating heavy armor from a safe distance.
RG-3 Heavy Railgun
S3 version of a single-barrel turret with exceptional range and high muzzle velocity, which is ideal for sniping enemy ships at long distances. Its precision shots offer unmatched armor penetration, making it highly effective against heavily armored targets.
HYCM-VLS Cruise Missile Silo
Engineered for overwhelming power, this launcher fires high-yield missiles capable of destroying smaller ships, such as light frigates, with a single hit. While each missile is slow and requires distance to arm, it’s heavily reinforced to resist point-defense fire. However, the launcher carries a very limited payload, requiring careful target selection to maximize its destructive potential.
HAT-64 VLS Heavy Torpedo Silo
Heavy torpedo launcher able to deal a massive amount of damage thanks to its powerful warhead. In addition to its destructive power, it is also designed to be quite durable, compensating for its lack of speed against enemy point-defense systems.
LRFM-33 Cluster Missile Silo
Specialized for disabling enemy turrets and modules, this launcher fires missiles equipped with cluster warheads that detonate just before impact. The explosion releases a spread of high-explosive submunitions, dealing extensive area damage and overwhelming targeted systems with concentrated fire.
HEAR Fixed Rocket Launchers
Fixed version of a dumbfire rocket launcher that can fire continuous salvo of unguided rockets, dealing a lot of damage to any target, regardless of its armor. Limited ammo requires frequent resupply.
Ship Experience system
All player ships are be able to acquire combat experience, which will increase their rank, thus improving their combat skills, such as accuracy, afterburner usage, countermeasures, and more. A simple system of progression for your fleet, similar to many famous RTS games.
New Enemy Faction
No more fighting the pirates, it's time for a real challenge. You will face a new enemy - The Tyr Corporation, also known as Tyrcorp. Better trained and better quipped, this militaristic corporation seeks total control over the resource harvesting operations in the region.
Contract Sectors
Tinanis
Xalath
Sangvar
Conquest Sectors
Belt Vesmos
Belt Vesmos is one of the richest resource sites in the Erebus region and a critical economic hub. Its abundant resources make it the most significant source of income in the area, which is why Tyrcorp targeted it early in their expansion. They quickly established an outpost here to secure control over its lucrative mining operations, turning the sector into a strategic stronghold for their resource monopoly.
Tartarus
Tartarus serves as Tyrcorp’s main base of operations in the Erebus region, making it their most critical logistical and supply hub. It acts as the primary connection between the Erebus region and their home territory in Ferudani, ensuring the flow of resources, reinforcements, and supplies necessary to sustain their expansion efforts.
