My name is David, I am the developer of Starship Corporation and I feel grateful for your interested in my creation.
While continuing to improve and the expand this game, I have developed a prototype for a much smaller game that is very different, focusing on the space within. It is an interactive novel that let’s players experience different lives, but also add their own life experiences - using a unique new game mechanic to explore how free will requires awareness and self-empathy.
This is a little update following up the DLC release - thank you very much for the bug reports.
I have added the "Pipette" feature to improve ease and efficiency while building, and fixed some issues.
Some facilties in the health category have changed slots recently, so I you have older ship classes that don't have a correct room list, I suggest opening them in ship design and overwriting the old file. The same applies if you get a skippable "mission7 missing" error.
Version 3.0.9
Gameplay:
- added "Pipette" feature: Hold and click on an existing room to duplicate it.
- added warning message for mining operation mission if essential equipment is missing.
- raised the research cost for STAM technology
Bugfixes:
- fixed error message when bridge is removed
- fixed error message when computer is removed
- fixed erroneous room list in galaxy map (old ships might need to be updated)
- fixed roadwork/mining functionality in galaxy map
- fixed deck number display for Dromeas, Monadyr and Visala

LAUNCH TRAILER SHOWS OFF NEW CAMPAIGN MODE
Publisher Iceberg Interactive and developer Coronado Games announce that their spaceship-building game Starship Corporation is releasing out of Steam’s Early Access Program on May 3, 2018.
Having spent 2 years in Early Access Starship Corporation has seen massive improvements. The game has been shaped extensively with help from the community, from their feedback and constructive criticism, for which the Developer has expressed their gratitude. During Early Access, cybernetic organisms were introduced, as were mining and military features. The galaxy map was also redesigned to its current state.
A trailer emphasizing the updated graphics as well as the full feature set can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HccKWgmpdEs
Starship Corporation's launch update will add a campaign mode with 99 different business contracts and two different endings based the player’s business relationships, as well as a ship database and two new rooms. Additionally, Russian language support will be added at launch, as well as improved loading/saving times, Steam achievements, and bug and performance fixes.
Starship Corporation Power Update
We are happy to tell you today that a new update is now available for Starship Corporation. This update makes major changes to the ship designer, and brings further improvements and optimization.
The Power Update removes the fuel, cooling, power and other grids and replaces them with a clever new system. You now are able to select one of 3 grid numbers to connect rooms to specific power generators. This offers interesting choices for advanced players to group together different ship systems (shields, engines, life support, etc.) or connect the most important modules to emergency generators. Not only does this allow for more meaningful choices, it also allows for better optimization.
For a full breakdown of the update, check the video below.
