Version 1.12 Update on August 26th

Greetings, Captains!

First off, let us say hello to all of those our team met at Star Trek Las Vegas. From new players to old, it was great meeting you all and our players who stopped by to chat with us had some great ideas for the game that we’ll definitely be looking into further! If you haven’t seen them yet, check out some of our pictures of cosplayers and the convention on our official Facebook page.

Without further ado, we are now preparing for the latest update to Star Trek: Alien Domain. Due to the cross-server features in this build, we will be implementing a slow roll out. Servers 1-3 will receive the patch first, and after a short time to make sure the new modes are working correctly and as intended, we will begin the process of launching the update on other servers.

The update is scheduled for 00:00 August.26th,2015(PDT,server time), and it should take approximately  3 hours.

In other news, GameSamba will be attending PAX in Seattle, August 28-31. If you’re there, stop by our booth to say hi, get a free promo code for the game and some other ST:AD stuff, and also see some info on some new announcements!

You’ll also be able to win event promo codes through the ST:AD Facebook page, and the GameSamba twitter, so be sure to like and follow before PAX kicks off.
