Economy and gameplay improvements hit Starpoint Gemini Warlords on Xbox One

-

The support for Starpoint Gemini Warlords on Xbox One continues to see the game evolve and today we are seeing another free update hit – one which brings a myriad of fixes and improvements.

Focusing mostly on the economy and gameplay which holds Starpoint Gemini Warlords together, the update sees a reduced cost for all three mine types, and discounts made to some research options – mainly that of Refit and Support. To compliment that, you’ll find that asteroids, derelicts and gas pockets now give more resources, whilst there has been a price increase for commodities.

In regards the gameplay changes and we now see stations offering a lot more equipment in the storage, whilst there have been many freelancers added too. The new update brings great news in that gameplay area as well because freelance mission rewards now grant more credits, and they scale a lot better through the game. But that’s not all and LGM have also updated the Conquest feature where conquering outposts, stations and planets now give more credits and/or resources.

Further to all this, the new update brings a new ship in the Battleship class – the Glycon – which is a bit more powerful in contrast to other battleships, although not in all statistics.

And finally there is good news for the warmongers and warlords out there: boarding has been overhauled! You now don’t have to collect research percentages for foreign ships, so therefore it’s now possible to build the foreign ship immediately following the boarding – as long as all the other conditions are fulfilled.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
