Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA is very close to being content complete. Over the next several months we will be focusing on balancing passes over all game modes, Modules, progression rates and the overall economy for all 3 currencies, along with general polish, bug fixes and additional device support. Most of the remaining balancing will be number tweaks, and there will be no major new features or content. We will still be looking for interface improvements and other smaller features based on extensive playtesting. The types of changes on today's build that you can see above are indicative of the changes you can expect in the months ahead, leading up to Dark Nebula release.


You can still help us make Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA the best long term space strategy game on every platform it releases on, and the major update that will enable Hades' Star to live for decades in the future. Keep participating in the playtests via the Early Access app, and posting your experience in any game mode here or on our Discord server.

  9. The improvements to white stars are interesting and good, but ultimately my main issue with them (and to the devs, according to this blog) is that you have to check in too often and you have to constantly manage the white star.

    I think there should be one final change to white stars: moves are “locked in” 1 hour before they actually happen. That way it refocuses white stars on *tactics* and not on constantly micromanaging last minute tiny changes that might possibly change outcomes of specific battles. It would make it so you have to correctly anticipate the other corp’s moves, instead of now when it’s winning based on who can check in and micromanage more often.
