Post news Report RSS Starpoint Gemini 2 new update and hero contest

The 24th update to Starpoint Gemini 2 brings the Skill & Perk respec and upgraded anomalies among other things. We've also started the previously announced Hero contest!

Posted by on

Update v0.6011 going live! We've got several new things for you today among which is the Skill & Perk respec panel on stations and planets so you can change your skill modifiers and chosen perks. The visual upgrade this time goes for anomalies. You can check them out in-game.

Another bit of news for today's update is the HERO CONTEST!

You can submit your imagination's creations into the contest through our webpage. Just click on the Contest banner on the right ;). The top five characters with the most votes at the end of the contest will get their character recreated in-game, their esteemed name in the credits section AND a complimentary Starpoint Gemini 2 Steam key you can give to your friend or keep for yourself!

The next update is planned to finally bring character class choice and improved mission object markers to make them easier to distinguish from "standard" game objects and to quickly show what you should do with/to the object.

As is customary, here are a few screenshots ;)
