Steam Store description

Update Notes Sol Trader 1.4, available as a free update, is the best Sol Trader experience yet, featuring UI improvements, history that runs in-game, and a new ship! New ship: the Puma The Puma is a sleek, fast ship which you can fit with up to three separate guns. What it lacks in cargo space it makes up for with an impressive internal capacity for ship components, meaning it’s a great ship to use to scavenge for the parts of destroyed ships. No wonder so many seem to find their way into the hands of pirates... UI improvements: Notifications We’ve said goodbye to popups interrupting you when you’ve achieved a mission, or when someone is ready to meet you. The list of pinned characters at the top of the status bar now doubles as a notification list, so when characters have messages for you can easily access them. The tutorial now appears as notifications too, making it more unobtrusive, and events that you learn about individual characters are sent to you via notifications as well. This UI change gives us a more streamlined game with fewer interruptions and a better way to manage information. History now runs in-game A critical under-the-hood change means that rather than pausing history on game start, the history generation now _keeps running_ as the game progresses. This change has had considerable implications to how the game plays: non-player characters are now able to go through marriage, divorce, make and lose friends, change jobs, and more, all while you are playing the game. When life changes happen to your closest friends and family, they’ll tell you about what’s…
