I promised many a patch on Dec 20,2025.

I try to deliver on my promises.

So enjoy.

What changed in this patch? Selling Elements to MCA that drop mostly. But massive massive underlying systems are in now that will make wild things happen in 2026!!! These wild things are listed below:

Patch notes:

Underlying systems added to Starfighter General…

are things no video game has ever achieved…

These systems are deep, looming, and forboding…

but I did not enable the front end…

Stuff about to pop off in future patches!!!

This is why this is the Calm Before the Storm.

Features to expect in 2026 and beyond:

#1 Memento XPC- NPC that have personality, culture, emotion, and

a history of interacting with your player. These XPC are like

simulated real human beings. You can trade, talk, recruit so

they’re an extra wingman, small talk, scan, hack, trade information,

declare battle, requst dock and board, rob them, annoy and pester them,

demand tribute, request to join them so you’re their wingman and they

take you around the galaxy doing their things, demand surrender, gift,

etc etc.

#2 talk directly to the XPC aliens in game and they will talk back with you

-Like LARP with real people.

#3 Infinite player MMO. Neo Net code is in. You may see some players, but not

#4 Open Gopher Tunnels to Balumbus Strip Mall Station & Continue Mission story

#5 Warp Enabled- When you warp, the REAL STARS warp by you, so you can exit warp

and travel to an interesting place if you see it.

#6 Busy world of XPC. Stations look alive and busy.

#7 Buy/Sell + getting a bigger fleet.

a lot of interacting is possible.

#8 Missles, AOE missle defense, Energy Transfer, shield throwing, Lasers, projectile tubes, destroyers, Capital Ships

#9 Magics enable

#10 24 Galactic cores

What’s in:

Droping Multiple items

Blurt Interruption

Sun/Moon/Earth in.

Periodic Elements

NOT QUITE IN:

Buy/Sell going in

Materia Elemental Magic Motes in

Settings:

1) Inverted Flight stick option

BUGS IN to be fixed later:

-DO NOT USE ALL THE ROLLS ON ONE CHARACTER, if you do, that slot is invalidated til next patches

-If you make a mistake in character creation, no back button, just alt f4 and restart

These bugs could be fixed, but I want features in for you to be fun.

No one’s gonna play a bug free application that’s not fun!

Bugs Fixed:

Mastery Chart renders nicer

and many more

More Ways To Connect:

2) Networking that pushes the envelope where no networking has gone before. People laugh at this like it is impossible to innovate, but I marketed it to Midway in 2003, and they laughed too. Meanwhile it was working in house as a Tekken style(3d fighter) MMO with part of what today is known as rollback code. Midway's manager was mocking what is today's standard thinking rollback and such was impossible. Infinite action players same zone, limit only by video card and other hardware, networking ain't a limiting thing anymore.

4) First MMO designed for late game. Everyone enjoys mmos until power capped and then get bored.
There is no power cap to begin with(just a log log logarithmic progression), but there are many many many other end game design elements to make it so want to keep playing end game! The grind is there, but better and more fun things are around too! You can build up a super big fleet and it get destroyed to pieces and you start over again. You have a power floor level that you can't go below so you're always building permanent power, but temporary spikes of power surges and galactic dominance for fleeting moments give a rush. The larger the fleet, the larger the fleeting moment.

8) PVP bounty system. Everyone can PVP at all times. Stakes are low if your ship explodes. If you get attacked without declaring aggressive mode or an opponent to duel, the aggressor gets a bounty on their head in accordance with the damage dealt to you. If this bounty gets high enough, and they get caught, they will be put in jail. When they log on for the next few hours or days, their character can play only in jail, and visitors come see him and such. Enjoy roleplaying being a prison inmate, or just use a different crew member on your account. Developing many crew members is a thing for when you fly capital ships.

10) Omnipotent roleplay: Earn your right into a a movie anime by great roleplay! Live game masters in about 6-12 months after the content updates roll through. We bias people with Founder's RP tokens some and good manner role players who stay in character(we have chat logs and even game logs). This promotes good role play even when not live GMing. Who doesn't want to bring their friends to a movie and surprise em with their own character in it? So stay in character for a better game! https://www.starfightergeneral.com/live-role-play/

Punky-Pulpy action, Levels, stats, skills, talents, items, fleet amassing, and great apocalyptic space plots, trippy Lewis Carrol level Mad Hatter humor along the way. It's really weird to see how this synergizes from a game design standpoint. Players naturally want to level up and power up... That's the twink min maxer in all of us. So when humor, plots, intrigue, or NPCs getting your blood boiling to action vs them happens, you get stoked, rewarded, happy and tossed off your axis. Then when resolved, you look back and get serious about powering up. The core of a RPG gamer is always powering up, it is something we can't get rid of, but the core of a game designer is to get you out of a spreadsheet mindset temporarily... And then you appreciate both more. So tacky humor, along serious pulp action and serious leveling up game mechanics... It is like a symphony of fun.
