We have recently eliminated quite a few bugs, but in our enthusiasm, it seems we have missed a few of their pesky relatives crawling back in. So today, we have published a new hotfix that deals with those unpleasant newcomers, but also other problems you have brought to our attention. And what's more - it even noticeably improves the construction AI! Check the full changelog below for all details.
The construction AI (Both AI enemies and players autobuild) has been reworked to be much more intelligent and will now consistently advance colonies towards endgame state taking into account needs and eventually producing tier 3 units and structures.
Fixed issue that could cause a player to be unable to enter systems belonging to the Anabah Empire.
Fixed issue where player could softlock the game if text skip was used with very high frequency.
Fixed issue where the campaign name could be displayed incorrectly.

Change Log:
Fixed the issue with dragging and dropping creating duplicating units

Added right click info to the transit station and supply hub - tooltips
Fixed the issue with derelict progression not being counted correctly
Fixed the issue with quests not always counting colonies correctly*
Fixed the issues where Chinese localisation would cause autosaves to overwrite the previous one

Post-Launch Community Check-In
Greetings, Directors,
The Pegasus Expedition has been out of Early Access for a couple of days now, and we would like to check in before the first post-release weekend. Have you already played the new 'The Purge' campaign?
It is not immediately accessible to first-time players, as it is more challenging and requires some knowledge of the story. To unlock it, you need to play the main story campaign until you encounter the biomass (how long it takes varies from playthrough to playthrough, generally a few hours). From then on, when starting a new game, you will be able to select ‘The Purge’ campaign and help the "Independent Regenerative System" (as the biomass is known to its friends) take over the galaxy.
We would love to hear what you think about the new campaign! Please, consider leaving a review here on Steam. Every review helps, and if you like the game, this is an easy way to support it.
Thank you all for your ongoing support throughout Early Access and beyond – your suggestions inspired many of the changes and new features in the game, you truly helped shape The Pegasus Expedition! Rest assured, the full release does not mean we are suddenly abandoning the game - we are looking for as much feedback as possible, watching out for bug reports, and planning what needs to be patched and updated. If you'd like to ask any questions, report any issues, or just chat about the game, consider joining a growing community on the game's Discord server, we will be happy to see you there! But we, of course, continuously watch the comments here and in the Steam Discussions as well.
And if you are still unsure whether you'd like to give The Pegasus Expedition a try, we have some talented content creators covering it - Pravus, for example, did a great job explaining the basics in his video:
We look forward to seeing you out there, past the portal at Zaere!
The day has finally come, we are incredibly happy to announce that The Pegasus Expedition is leaving the Early Access NOW. Go ahead and watch the official release trailer.
The full version will include a new campaign "The Purge", in which you play as the dreaded Biomass, a new All Fleets mode, which let's you enter large scale battles, new story events and much more! You can check the whole Change Log below the article.
The game will be 15% off during the first week after release, so don't hesitate to get it and recommend it to your friends. You can also get the Galactic Alliances Bundle where you'll get Space Rangers HD: A War Apart along with The Pegasus Expedition and additional 10% discount applies to that, even if you already own one of the games!
We would also like to thank you for your ongoing support throughout the whole Early Access phase, we would not be able to get this far without you! Join our awesome community on Discord where you can talk about the game, report bugs or simply chat about anything you want!
And if you like The Pegasus Expedition, we would also appreciate if you wrote a review of it here on Steam, it helps more than you think!
And now, let's command those fleets, Directors!
