Interstellar Pilot released on iPhone

We are delighted (and exhausted) to announce that iPhone owners can now also become Interstellar Pilots. Version 1.6.0 is available now on the App Store.

1.6.0 Preview

We are pleased to announce the next installment of Interstellar Pilot is near completion. Our focus has mainly been optimization, removing various slowdowns and saving battery life as well as making it easier for us to work with the codebase. But we have had time to add new graphics, some content and rebalancing. This update will be released to both Google Play and Amazon stores soon. We have completed most changes and will release the update once it has been tested successfully. We know that a lot of people will be disappointed to not see more content but rest-assured that this will be our focus after this update goes live.

New sector graphics

We wanted each sector in a custom universe to feel more unique so we've added further backgrounds and planetary textures. These new graphics will be used for all pre-1.6.0 custom universe saved games so you may see some changes after loading.

New asteroid fields

Asteroids will now appear in asteroid fields (similar to Beta Pindola / Hellemus sectors). This will make it obvious where asteroids are to be found as well as just looking a lot better. Existing saved games will also be upgraded.

New UI graphics / layouts

We've added icons for all the commodities as well redesigning some the UI screens, which were hard to use.

Additional Changes

Optimizations / Removal of lag spikes

New ship variants including Magnus-EQ (mobile equipment dealer) and Ranger-H

New job board mission type: "Ship recovery"

New job board mission type: "Ship delivery"

Option to hail / talk to AI pilots

New AI faction type: Mercenary (can be hired by player)

Randomized / Upgraded NPC ships

Very long list of bug fixes
