Astrobase Command is a character-driven survival and building simulation in a 70’s sci-fi setting.

Send out your crew to negotiate treaties, research and discover technology, and generally secure your Astrobase against attacks and espionage. All while exploring the universe and utilizing everything you were taught from sci-fi television and movies to not get them killed.

After defining and customizing your species, you play in a procedurally generated universe with AI-created events and stories. Astrobase Command is about realizing your science-fiction fantasy.

• Astrobase Command combines elements of Base-Building, RPG Sandbox, and features AI-generated stories
• The funding goal is for the single player version of the game. We would love to do an optional persistent multiplayer game mode, but this would take additional resources and is part of our stretch goals.
• Astrobase Command will be available on PC, Mac, and Linux.

Here is the full announcement from the makers of FTL

We’ve been working hard over the summer and are excited to finally officially announce a free expansion, FTL: Advanced Edition! FTL: AE is a huge content addition that includes new weapons, drones, augments, systems, enemies, and more.  Here are some details on just a few of the additions visible in the trailer:

• Mind Control System: Temporarily turn enemies into allies. Force a boarder to repair the damage they just did, or have the enemy pilot sabotage their own helm.
• Hacking System: Lockdown and disrupt enemy systems. Unique effects for each system, ranging from forcing a teleporter remove boarders to making the medbay damage instead of heal.
• New Sector and Events: Our writer Tom Jubert (http://tom-jubert.blogspot.co.uk/) has returned along with special guest writer Chris Avellone (of Planescape fame), who managed to find some time for us between his work on Project Eternity and Wasteland 2. They’ve been helping us add a new sector and scatter new events throughout the rest of the game.
• New Weapons and Effects: Many new weapons that take advantage of new mechanics: overcharging to increase the number of volleys, stun effects to freeze crew, and area effect targeting, to name a few.
• And more systems, drones, augments, enemy ships, enemy layouts, and hostile environments. All of which we’ll be sure to talk about more in the coming weeks!

In addition to new content, we’ve continued to polish FTL and add some of the most requested small features. As a few examples: you’ll be able to save your crew positions and send them back to battle-stations, save and quit during combat, and find more items for purchase in stores.

For the purists out there, FTL vanilla will still be available. All of the new content can be disabled from within the hangar before starting a new game.

The DLC pack enhances the game with new features like random events and nine new deep space anomalies. Grab it on Steam right now.
