The latest patron version continues the adventurers of the Happee Specialists, Jodi and Desmon, making them now recruitable members of your crew.

v0.28.1 Update

Hey all, it's breeding time! The pregnancy system is now fully in and operational, with players, the XO, and standard crewmembers all now standing a risk of getting knocked up during procedural 'romance' scenes (Specialists will get their own system down the line). I've also added in a few followup scenes to handle informing the player of if this happens. With that out of the way it's time to get back to the plotline, and one of the top things on my to-do list is the Switch cameo appearance, which won in a poll ages back. For more info you can check out the Patreon post here, and the patch notes are below:

v0.28.1 Change Log

Game Functions:

• Pregnancy mechanics added to the procedural 'romance' encounters. Each time there is a PIV climax involving the player, XO, or standard crewmembers, there is a chance for pregnancy. Specialists cannot impregnate or be impregnated at this time. For pregnancy to occur, the following must be true:
  • A Reproductive Health Officer must be staffed (Tier 3 ship required).
  • Mandatory birth control policies are not in use.
  • Both participants are the same species (future ship upgrades may remove this requirement).
  • Both participants must be fertile.
  • The potential mother must not already be pregnant or within 30 days of having been pregnant.
  • A random check based on the ship's fertility policy must be passed.

Scene Content:

• End-of-day Reproductive Health Officer scene added to inform the player when they have gotten a crewmember pregnant, requires an RHO to be staffed, will delay until one is staffed if there is none.
• End-of-day XO scene added to inform the player when they have gotten the XO pregnant, slight variants based on XO relationship. Note: Some options may change the XO relationship, however if chosen this change will be queued until further XO relationship mechanics are added to the game.
• End-of-day XO scene added to inform the XO when they have gotten the player pregnant, slight variants based on XO relationship. Same notes as the above scene.

Art Content:

•  None

Codex Entries:

• None

Bug Fixes:

• Corrected swapped Int and Init icons in combat command stat displays.

Known Issues:
