Hooded Horse :
January 10, 2024 - Launch the alert fighters, the next update for Hooded Horse and Eridanus Industries’ excellent real-time tactical space combat game NEBULOUS: Fleet Command is here!
The hotly anticipated Carrier-class ships arrive in the form of dedicated hulls and self-contained modules for existing hulls for both of the game’s factions, and with them come launchable craft across a range of archetypes. Each faction gets three unique spaceframes, with a seventh spaceframe representing a shared design.
Whether you’re deploying scouts, missile bombers, utility craft, or Top Gun-style fighters, each spaceframe is customizable via the dedicated in-game editor. Craft can also have multiple customizable loadouts, which can be selected and refitted should players need to switch up their tactics mid-battle. You can read the full patch notes here.
Also coming along with this update is a new and improved AI opponent to make solo skirmishes much more enjoyable and challenging. There is also a 7th tutorial mission, which completes the game’s onboarding journey and will forge even the greenest crewman into a full-fledged commodore. These improvements represent the final touches on the game’s Skirmish mode and lay the foundations for NEBULOUS’ next major update - single-player narrative content. You can learn more via the latest developer diary.
NEBULOUS: Fleet Command is available on PC via Steam Early Access for $29.99 / £24.99 / 29.99 EUR / ¥3,980.00. A press kit is available.
