Patch is back up. Unfortunately, early-adopters of the patch will have to redownload it as there was a version-number error in the patcher.  It won't correctly recognize the version with the currently available patch.

Patch 1.0.4.4 is now available!  Also, we're currently on sale for $12.49 on Steam; more sales are oncoming for our other distributors so keep your eyes peeled!

Change log:

[Fixed] Dry Docks could get stuck fetching resources from another planet in the system.
[Fixed] Asteroids in normal systems would be destroyed instantly instead of when they ran dry.
[Fixed] Missiles were not consuming proportionate amounts of ammo.
[Fixed] Multiplayer clients could crash when holding alt.
[Fixed] Legacy mod for 1.0.4.0 was missing, resulting in abnormally slow thrusters when loading 1.0.4.0 games in 1.0.4.2.
[Fixed] Default level health gain was 1.25 instead of the intended 0.25.
[Fixed] Repeat mode was crashing after completion.
[Changed] The IRC window can now be minimized.
[Balance] Computers generate a bit more control to make up for their large power consumption.
[Balance] Torpedo bays no longer gain bonuses from coolant systems / targeting sensors.
[Removed] Legacy 1.0.1.2 and 1.0.1.4 games are no longer supported.
[Removed] Removed the patcher, as it was entirely non-functional in most cases. Instead, Star Ruler links to a list of patches for your version.

I kinda want to get this not on steam if possible.  I hope you'll keep us up to date on sales at other retailers.

Special Announcement
Wanted to give you guys a heads up: Looks like Steam won't be offering Star Ruler for the daily deal after all. Just wanted you guys to know in case you were holding out for it to go to the mega-sale price (85% off versus the current 50% off).  I'll keep you guys posted while I make sure.

We still have the game currently on sale over at D2D and GamersGate however.  (an additional bit off at D2D if you use the word 'holidaytreats')

Merry Christmas, Bay12!!
We bought you 5 copies of Star Ruler on Steam. Hope y'all like it.

Wow. How... nice of you Firgof.

Been meaning to ask, do you have any expansion plans for the game?

[Firgof Umbra]

Not at this time.  We're doing our best to avoid paid expansion packs as much as possible.  We'd much rather there just be the base game and everything that comes with it, along with new features, bug fixes, and improvements for as long as we're able to put out.

[Hugehead]

All the keys are used, that was really fast.

[Aklyon]

They all say they've been used already.
Thanks, though!

[Firgof Umbra]

Wow those went fast! Hahaha!

[Nistenf]

Thank you! Didn't grab one, but very kind of you!

[Aklyon]

5 keys in less than an hour.
fast indeed.

Any idea how long until you know for sure that Star Ruler won't wind up as a Daily Deal? I have no issues paying $12.50 for it, but I have no issues getting it for cheaper.

...Though, do you make more money per copy sold at $12.50, or is it just a set price per copy?

[Journier]

I bet they get more money when you buy it for 12.50 compared to 3.50.

Most distributors do like 60/40 or 70/30 of sale price for games, but hey maybe star ruler is different and they get 1.50 off each sale, I wouldnt know.

[Firgof Umbra]

We do get more money if you buy it at 12.50, yes.  Steam hasn't replied and they didn't reply the day that I sent the e-mail.  I think it's pretty safe to say that it's a "dead duck".

[Rilder]

Bought, off steam, looks bloody awesome, I've been looking for a new space game,  I haven't been able to ever get really back into Gal-Civ 2 since the first time I played it and Sword of the Stars is I dunno I just never get far with any campaigns in it.
