Please, let us know your feedback and opinions. We intend to further improve Starship Troopers: Terran Command and your feedback is very helpful for us to make it happen.
In the meantime, work continues... we have plans for future content and features, and we're just about to finalize them. We'll be back soon with an actual Roadmap containing information on what's next.

Home of Wargamers stream and new series of streams
We hope that those of you who watched it live enjoyed the show! In case you missed it, you can re-watch it now:
Later today we're going to start a new series of streams on our own Twitch channel, at www.twitch.tv/slitherinetv . We're going to live stream the first missions of the campaign at 7 pm GMT. It will be the perfect occasion to learn how to play. We'll also be back next week on May 26 at the same hour for a first look at one of the skirmish maps, Starport Sweep.
Home of Wargamers 2022: Schedule announcement
During the stream, Slitherine will be playing a new full mission from the story campaign that has never been shown before: the mission is called Perimeter.
The mission will be an excellent way to dive into the game and have a look at its combat-oriented gameplay.
Perimeter is set at the end of Act III of the story. The bugs have overrun much of Kwalasha, but the Mobile Infantry has just achieved a major victory and regained the initiative.
Now the Mobile Infantry is pushing out to set up a perimeter, called the Bug Exclusion Zone.
This turn of fate was made possible thanks to the arrival of the M11 Babar ‘Marauders,’ which had a decisive role in turning the tide. Marauders are heavy mechanical assault units, massive bipedal vehicles developed by the United Citizen Federation during the war against the Arachnids.
They are the most impressive and powerful ground unit on the Federation’s side, and this is the first time Slitherine will be showing Marauders in action.
Furthermore, there are several additional units that have never been shown before and will be taking part in the stream: Fleet Liaison, Grenade and Rocket Turrets, Wavebreaker Mortar, Tactical Officer, E-Pulse Troopers, and even new units on the Arachnid side: Plasma bugs and Royal Guards.
May 10th has almost arrived, and we are ready to share the Event Schedule with you all.
We will be streaming Starship Troopers - Terran Command at www.twitch.tv/slitherinetv at 16.20 pm BST.
