- Happy 250th Independence Day: News of progress - 4 July 2026
I'm having trouble getting a patch out,But I improved health bars,Got things to explore, loot, and buy/sell. I have it so you can get skills, soon use them. The game is REALLY coming along, but life's so hard just to survive these days, it's massively hurting dev time just putting food on the table and keeping my car running. No one's funding this game aside from a kind soul who helped me for 2 months a few years ago which I am grateful for.Happy Independence Day, lots of bad stuff going on in the world, stay true to freedom, love and family.

- Patching.... Glorious Health Bars, Persistant Items - 21 May 2026
There is a patch in progress, this is why the game's not loading.ATTENTION: DUE TO NETWORKING ISSUES, THIS PATCH IS NOT IN THE GAME. I REVERTED TO THE PREVIOUS PLAYABLE PATCH UNTIL I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HOURS I SPENT, maybe 10-12, but I do know I was up at 3 am barely functioning because I didn't want you guys having down time. I taxed myself, still have to do taxes and clean my house, etc this patch will be delayed days/weeks and be even better. First up, Roman Numeral health bars are now and the future... We use old school NES style bars, and infuse them with Roman Numerals to go beyond 8 health points: So there's that. Items have been given persistence so ones you log off with will be there when you get back. That's all fine and good... .....but what's coming soon ..... NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE! #1 MMO Starfighter game with FLEET BUILDING, ASSEMBLE A HUGE M…

- HUGE! WORLD FIRSTS! Full AI driven Game masters, INCREDIBLE SYSTEMS! COMING! - 2 October 2025
Hello,Options:#1 I can release a patch right now that has my dilligent work for the last few months of dropping loot from asteroids allows you to buy/sell and get a larger fleet... to destroy more asteroids... It's kinda anticlimactic with how incredibly complex the systems are underneath: Multi Core + MMO + Expandible#2 I can not release a patch right now, and install some AI that will be able to work like a Live Game Master. I need to test the capabilities, but I believe AI can run:The Memento system of simulated personalities.Give you custom missions I didn't program. Arbitrage between systems with an actual vibrant economy(buy high/sell low) Busy World of AI guys living their own lives, maybe building a financial empire that makes an armyAnomolies I didn't make. The AI Game Master can drive live events and personally guide your own character arcs.It's completely absurd the possibili…
- Patch Looming Soon: Tying up loose ends from from April 4th: Scope Creep - 27 September 2025
Item drops, selling items, buying ships upgrades, meeting new fleet members, new encounters... should be in...Skills slowly in... This is radically a huge patch after 10 years of developing this game... The 2021 Starfighter Explosion on Steam was from backdoored code from me, but you haven't even begun to see what a top game developer can do...From April 4th,2025: I may add the entire MEMENTO system:Yes, it's in... Mostly in terms of raw data, rolled events will be slotted in over years like a frameworked puzzle gets filled in. Wild stuff coming soon.. I hope to do this before the Pittsburgh Arcade Convention on the 3rd - 5th of October 2025... Don't miss PGX anyone in the area!!! From April 4th: Where each NPC acts like a player by rolling actions based on their personality/skills/attributes/emotional stability(temporary)/history with you/race/goals/and career The Memento system should…
- Scope Creep: I'm adding too much stuffs! Next Patch will be big - 4 April 2025
I'm explaining why it's been a while since last patch: I keep scope creeping. It's the right play. Skills, Item drops, selling items, buying ships upgrades, meeting new fleet members, new encounters... That's the basics you should expect. I may add the entire MEMENTO system... Where each NPC acts like a player by rolling actions based on their personality/skills/attributes/emotional stability(temporary)/history with you/race/goals/and career The Memento system should have aliens act more human than PCs. I want to make asteroid colors be the color of element they drop, so you can hunt for elements you like based on the color of the asteroid. If your cargo bay heats up too much, stuff may burn, melt or turn gaseous, which can lead to weird effects in your ship and alter your cargo... Yes, may be getting too ambitious, but it's working and it is what it is.

- WE LIVE AGAIN: Biggest Update in 7 years: Story Line available in MMO - 1 August 2024
This is AWESOME! It may be unstable, needs tested, BUT WILL BE AWESOME IF WORKS FOR YOU! Hello, Patch M.4: THE BIG TIME! If you like this, it will only get better! Support the development if you enjoy this experience! Let me know if you want more of this. Patch notes & |\ |\ |\\ .............................o..o...| ......................................o 1) This is my party. There are many like it, but this is my party: Most MMORPGS do not allow static parties of characters you meet along the way because everyone would have them, but Starfighter General has fragmented dimensions so you can have a party of the same characters as everyone else, but they change over time. 2) If you like the story, it only gets better. 3) Soft Pinball Hardcore: If you don't win at first, try, try again. That's the POINT of a video game. This isn't everyone gets a trophy immediately. No hand holding super c…
