SpaceCorps 2027 0.3.3 gives every mission a face: each company's officers now hand out its quests. It also lets you open any pilot's profile from the Hall of Fame, makes fusion work for every item with bonuses, and shows every bonus an item carries.

The game plays on the public server https://spacecorps-game.sliplane.app. Your pilot, ships, items, credits, clan and world carry over.

What's new

Meet your quest givers

  • Every mission now comes from a person. Each company has three officers who hand out its missions: one for combat, one for scouting and one for timed and special operations. You get your own company's officers, and the same mission always comes from the same one.
    • Mars Colonization Corporation: Col. Radomir "Anvil" Haskov, Lt. Tamsin "Dustdevil" Orlec and Maj. Veska "Fuse" Roan.
    • Terra Space Group: Cdr. Helena "Bastion" Marchetti, Dr. Rafael "Parallax" Quenby and Insp. Aurel "Meridian" Wren.
    • Galactic Ventures Group: Capt. Esmé "Tally" Castellane, Ife "Wisp" Adeyemi and Teodor "Glass" Ruskai.
  • Each officer has a portrait: a backlit silhouette in their company's colours.
  • Mission Control: each mission card shows who is offering it, with their portrait, name and role. Rewards waiting to be claimed show it too.
  • Hover a portrait or a name to see a larger portrait, the officer's role and company, and a line in their own words.
  • Active Quests: each quest shows its giver's portrait, "From Col. Haskov" (or whoever gave it) and their line under the briefing.
  • Operator Nyx, who runs Mission Control for every company, now has a portrait in the sidebar. Pilots who haven't joined a company yet get their missions from her.
  • Officers' roles and lines are translated into all ten languages. Their names stay the same in every language.

Pilot profiles

  • Click a pilot in the Hall of Fame (Rankings, or Stats › Hall of Fame) or a name in your clan's member list to open their profile.
  • A profile shows the pilot's company, world, clan and rank, level, experience, honor, ranking points and Hall of Fame positions, and how many aliens and pilots they have destroyed.
  • It also shows their active loadout: the ship they fly in its 3D preview, every equipped item with its enchant tier and fitted modules, and their combat stats. Hover an item to see its full card with bonuses.
  • Active boosters and season buffs are listed with what they add up to, and the combat stats include them the way they work in flight.
  • Nothing private is shown: no credits, thulium, inventory, other ships, position or settings.

Fusion

  • Every item that carries enchant bonuses can be fused: lasers, laser amps, shields, shield cells, engines, thrusters, Adaptive Cores and repair drones. Plain items from the Shop (Standard tier) can be fused too. The Fusion page has a new Repair Drones filter.
  • Fusing now keeps the best bonus of each stat across the five items. When the result moves up a tier, every bonus is rolled again in the new tier's range and the better value stays, so a tier-up never gives you less.
  • Bonuses only land on stats the item actually has. An Adaptive Core can now roll shield and speed bonuses, and a Crit Amp no longer gets a bonus on damage it doesn't deal.
  • Slave and Master Drones can't be fused any more. They carry no bonuses, so fusing them only used up drone slots.
  • If one of the items you fuse away holds modules, the Fusion chamber tells you, and the modules go back to your inventory.
  • The result screen lists the bonuses of the item you got.

Item bonuses

  • Every item card (hangar, ship slots, drone slots, Fusion) now lists all the bonuses the item carries, for example "Shield Capacity +3.2% · Absorbance +1.5%".
  • Fitted modules show their tier, what they add with their bonuses and their own bonus line, and the "With modules" totals include module bonuses. Hovering the small module markers on a hangar slot shows the module's full card.
  • Repair rates read as a percentage per second ("1.38%/s"), and enchanted numbers are rounded to one decimal.

Thulium and premium

  • Payments will never be pay-to-win. There will only be an optional subscription, and for now it isn't available: the Thulium page says so, and the top bar's button now just reads "Premium".
  • Premium you already have keeps running until it ends, and Restore Purchases still works.

Fixes

  • Enchant tier letters on item tiles no longer fade in and out: the tile's glow still pulses for Rupturing and Eternal items, and the letter stays easy to read.

Updating

  • From 0.2.1 or later: the game downloads 0.3.3 by itself. Click Restart to Update, or quit the game, and it installs. If you installed the game with Hangar, Hangar updates it.
  • From 0.2.0: download it once from the download page and replace the old app or folder.

Platforms

Package For
SpaceCorps2027-macos-universal.dmg macOS 12 Monterey or later, Apple silicon and Intel
SpaceCorps2027-windows-x86_64.zip Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit

SpaceCorps2027-linux-x86_64.tar.gz the same Linux build, as a folder to unpack

Graphics need Metal (macOS), DirectX 12 or Vulkan (Windows), or Vulkan (Linux, Mesa 22 or a vendor driver). The game needs 4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended) and 400 MB of free disk space.

First launch

The builds are not signed by Apple or Microsoft yet, so on a first install your system asks once before it opens the game. Updates the game installs itself don't ask again.

  • macOS: open the dmg and drag SpaceCorps 2027 onto Applications.
    • macOS 15 and newer: open the app once and click Done. Then go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway next to "SpaceCorps 2027 was blocked".
    • macOS 12 to 14: right-click (Control-click) the app, choose Open, then Open again.
  • Windows: right-click the zip, choose Extract All, and start spacecorps2027.exe from the SpaceCorps 2027 folder. The assets folder must stay next to it. If SmartScreen says it "protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.
  • Linux: run chmod +x SpaceCorps2027-linux-x86_64.AppImage, then start it. Or unpack the tar.gz and start SpaceCorps2027/spacecorps2027.

Known issues

  • The builds are unsigned, so macOS Gatekeeper and Windows SmartScreen warn on a first install (see above).
  • The new texts in the nine other languages were not yet checked by native speakers. Please report anything that reads wrong.
  • There is one public game server with limited capacity. It may restart for updates, and your ship is saved when it does.

Report problems at https://github.com/SpaceCorps/play/issues or on Discord.
