🛠️ Development & Updates

This is the developer updates area. You will find patch notes, new versions, screenshots, upcoming features, development previews, and announcements.

A new Sector Alpha update adds pilot ranks and makes combat damage easier to read.

Earn your rank

As your pilot gains levels, your rank advances from Cadet to Supreme Commander. Each rank adds a bonus to XP, credits, overall damage, and shields. The bonus starts at 1% and increases with each level, reaching a maximum of 20% at level 20. That bonus stays capped at 20% as you continue leveling.

Your rank badge now stays visible beneath your ship, with your ship’s name beside it, so you can keep track of your pilot identity during a fight.

This makes busy fights easier to follow and reduces the extra work created by repeated damage visuals. Multiplayer combat shares the combined damage…

Sector Alpha’s multiplayer development has taken a big step forward! Players can now create a room, share its code, and join another pilot for cooperative campaign gameplay. Recent updates have focused on getting both players into the same fight—and keeping their view of the sector in sync. :milky_way:

:handshake: Create a room and bring your squad

The multiplayer lobby now uses room codes to connect players. Hosts can manage joining players, and the campaign squad queue shows who has joined and who is ready.

Testing has confirmed that two players can connect, see each other’s ships, and move together through the sector.

:boom: Shared combat is coming together

Guest pilots can now deal damage and take damage during multiplayer combat. Several fixes have also improved how weapons and their effects appear across both players’ screens:
