- Balance Patch - 0.6.2.6:260903-1430 - 3 September 2026
Hello Spacers,We've just wrapped up our latest Public Test Branch (PTB) cycle. Thanks to everyone who participated and gave their feedback. We run these periodically to address balance issues in a more controlled way that doesn't just involve shotgunning changes onto the live branch.The primary focus for this cycle was Alliance small ship blobs, which have been a persistent problem for a while. There were a number of reasons they were so powerful such as the difficulty of killing many ships one at a time, OSP counter-blob weapons requiring range data to fuze correctly combined with the strength of AN jamming, the lack of PD diversity pressure on AN fleets, and their ability to be dynamically split to double as a backup cap fleet if needed, to name just a few.A secondary focus was carrier gameplay, and the interactions of anti-air and anti-ship loadouts with each other.Here are the major…

- Patch Notes - 0.6.2.4:260608-2319 - 9 June 2026
Hello Spacers,We have another round of bugfixes for you in this minor patch, as well as some new UI and changes for craft flight ops to reduce some confusion we saw about inability to land craft in some situations. Here is the full change list:Changes/Features:- Added a hangar capacity display to hangar items in the flight ops board.- Carriers will now pack craft into the hangar with the least available space which can still fit the craft type to keep larger spaces available for larger craft.- The Land On Ship craft order will no longer be hidden when the target carrier has no available hangar space, and will now show a warning instead.- Legacy nameplate system has now been fully deprecated, modded ships which use it will now load correctly but render no nameplates.Bug Fixes:- Fixed shift-selecting a group of craft on either side of an offline hangar including craft which should be unav…

- The Campaign Update: Act 1 - 29 May 2026
Hello Spacers! There’s a new kind of battle coming to NEBULOUS: Fleet Command. For the first time, you’ll be able to take your fleet through a single player campaign, carrying your ships, ammunition, and fuel from one mission to the next as you fight your way through a connected chain of tactical scenarios. But this update goes far beyond simply adding a set of single player missions. It also includes the Campaign Editor, allowing players to build their own campaigns with connected battle maps, branching paths, cutscenes, scripted events, persistent resources, and different mission setups across difficulty levels. Steam Reviews: Your Feedback MattersWe'd love to hear your feedback and reviews of NEBULOUS, positive or negative. If you've been enjoying the game, whether in skirmish, the new campaign, co-op, or building your own missions in the Campaign Editor, leaving a Steam review is on…
- NEBULOUS: Fleet Command Campaign Update Release Date - 16 April 2026
Hello Spacers, Today, we are announcing the first act of the campaign for NEBULOUS: Fleet Command. It's set to release on May 29, 2026. Here's the release trailer: The campaign spans 16 missions across 3 zones, with a boss battle at the end of each zone. Its story is told through fully voice-acted scenes during gameplay, in-engine cutscenes, and hand-drawn animatics. Player ammunition use, fuel, and damage persist from mission to mission, extending the resource management of NEBULOUS across many battles. Destroyed enemy ships can also be boarded, so their ammunition can be taken to keep your fleet stocked up as you advance. The newly added Worden class fleet carrier serves as the player's flagship. Massive space station megastructures appear throughout the campaign as both objectives to disable and resources to live off the land. With the exception of Caltrop, all 16 missions feature un…

Hooded Horse and Eridanus Industries are finally adding a singleplayer narrative campaign option to Nebulous: Fleet Command , the outrageously nerdy space navy strategy game that makes Homeworld look like bashing rubber ducks together in a star-spangled bathtub. The first act of that campaign launches on May 29th, and puts you in charge of a fleet operating behind enemy lines in a wartorn star system, over the course of 17 missions. You know what this means, don't you? It means I have to remember how to play Nebulous: Fleet Command, a year on from my last session. Let me experiment with pushing these dashboard buttons REACTOR PURGE INITIATED hang on, I've got this WARNING: TORPEDO TUBE BLOCKED, LAUNCH IMMINENT oh fak fak fak run!

Hello spacers! The 2025 Steam Awards have begun! Nominations are open, and we’re hoping you’ll support NEBULOUS: Fleet Command by nominating it in the Labor of Love category. To start this year off, we released our most recent major update, which introduced carriers and their complements of small craft to the game, wrapping up the main feature set for our tactical skirmish battles. We dove back into development only a few days after that major update was released, and the team has been hard at work on our singleplayer and co-operative storyline campaign update ever since. We’ve been making great progress, and we’re incredibly excited to bring you this campaign, which pulls all of the complex tactical mechanics of NEBULOUS together into a cohesive whole. You can check the progress of development on the update in our recent devlogs, and expect another devlog with more updates soon. https:…
