- Dev Update: June Newspost - 26 June 2026
Hello Everyone.Summer has arrived and we're here working on RC1. It is coming along just fine but still far enough out that it is time for a dev post update. New Graviton Beam in action. No graviolis included.Here are some of the things to look forward to:After talking with some players we have modified the camera zoom profile. Previous profile was linear, that is each step was always the same amount of zoom. Now we have changed it to an exponential profile, which means zoom steps -- when at the "zoomed out" side of things -- are much larger, and at the "zoomed in", each subsequent step becomes smaller. We like this now that we see it, and we think all players either won't notice any difference, or will like it too.Created a number of new distress calls. These smaller bite sized moments of gameplay always benefit from more things to do.We have re-designed the graviton beam. Previously,…

- Dev Update: December Newspost - 17 December 2025
It is fast coming up on the holidays. December is typically a slow month for Space Impossible, but we're working on the next Pre-Release, right now with a tentative date of mid January. This Pre-Release will include some of the following: dealing with stealth tiles (sorry, they're coming out), splitting beacons into a player "note" system for personal use and always tracked, and "beacons" into a purely world based object, visible in the star system, useful for some universe color and also informing other players of things you may want them to know. There's a few new distress calls to deal with. Finally, we will be taking a look at the tutorial popups, or "toasts" as we call them, that show up and inform the player of things. There's a number of times when there's too many at once, and we need to smooth that out.Beyond that, we're still on target for the v1.0 Release. We have decided to…

They operate the Space Stations around the Black Holes, researching the anomalies present in those systems. Deal politely with them, and they may allow you to access to the anomaly. They are generally pacifists, and choose to flee from conflict than…

- Dev Update: What's coming with Pre-Release 4? - 10 September 2025
Hello everyone!A little news post to talk about the next Pre-Release update since it's going to take another 2-3 weeks.We are doing a major pass on the economy, including: item & component prices, trade price modifiers, trader loot tables and trader ships. Some things will be worth less, and many things will be worth more. This is intended to make money a bit more valuable in some areas, and a bit less easy for some cheese strats or reduce some otherwise unintended overly bountiful sources. Don't worry, we are not trying to take all the fun out of things, we are just trying to raise the floor up a bit, and bring some of the biggest out-of-whack money avenues to an "in-whack" state.The other thing we are adding is the initial appearance of a new faction, The Seti Rimanoo. These are a race of insectoid marauders who will be seen moving from system to system, causing chaos wherever they go…

- Space Impossible v1.0 Pre-Release 1 Now Available - 16 June 2025
Exciting times ahead. Space Impossible V1.0 Pre-Release 1 is now available. Reminder what this means: As we gear up for the official Space Impossible 1.0 release, we are done with BETAs, and instead proceeding with rolling Pre-Releases as additional content, gameplay tweaks and fixes roll out at an increased rate compared to the ALPHA and BETA release schedule. Update Notes What is in Pre-Release 1? Good question. We added a gameplay enhancement we're calling "Bridge Target/Combat Information". This has two elements to it. First is when a controlled vessel (either player or AI) loses control via bridge destruction, there will be several indicators: a (X_X) face emote (that can be toggled off if unwanted), a distinct visual particle effect, and an audio cue. This should help with those annoying moments of "Did I really blow the ship up or not?".The second element is the scanner (default…

- Dev Update: Space Impossible Release 1.0 - What's ahead? - 8 May 2025
Hello everyone! With BETA 17.1 currently released, it is time to look at what's next. We are shifting our view towards a full Space Impossible 1.0 Release, or just "Space Impossible". The major gameplay systems are in-game that we want to be there, but, there is still quite a few things to do. Instead of going quiet for months on end and just dropping the big release all at once, we will be rolling out multiple pre-releases that should have each of the smaller elements. That means for players who like keeping up to date on those more frequent releases, they'll have something to do, or if you're one of those players who wants everything to be kind of "done", waiting for the full release should be extra rewarding. Here are some of the things that'll get added. Image 1 - Vessel Control Loss Image 2 - Active Bridge Scan - Note the red and green outlines 1) Bridge Targeting/Combat Informatio…

- BETA 17 Pre-Release 1 Now Available - 3 April 2025
Changelog BETA 17 Pre-Release Build 1 Space Impossible BETA 17 Pre-Release has arrived. It brings with it a few additions, some balancing adjustments and a few fixes. The Kal'Giri and Druminence Federation bosses are in, each with a new distinct weapon, and offer a serious challenge.

- BETA 16.3 Hotfix - 10 February 2025
Fixes We have fixed several instances where certain combinations of factions in conflict systems who were then generating hails post-battle was introducing bad data to player faction standings. That in turn was being saved and then loaded on subsequent universe loads and causing the problems some players were experiencing. We have also introduced the automated use of the player backup vessel data. Previously this was being saved but had to be restored manually. Now, when the player vessel is missing (such as after a bad previous load), the backup data will be used. This should make resuming play much smoother for players who had previously lost a ship after a crash. Please note, this will only work on going forward, any player ship lost previously should be assumed lost. Random region trader enter event is less likely to happen when there is no station for it to travel to (such as after…
- BETA 16.2 Hotfix - 3 February 2025
Fixes Thanks to player reports we have identified an issue with universe corruption. We have added a temporary fix to the game that should prevent further corruption due to this issue, but we are still looking into the root cause and will be crafting a better fix for release in a BETA 16.3 update. Meanwhile, please try this version out and let us know if you continue to have any problems.
