The Last Federation from Arcen games has received not only a might fine patch, but a whopping big expansion too!

The expansion includes 17 new ships, 2 new solar system backgrounds, 32 new abilities, 19 new achievements, 13 new music tracks and 5 new quests. It also introduces two completely different ways to play the game -- Betrayal and Invasion.

The 2.0 patch to the main game really does improve a lot, and I mean a lot, just look at this glorious changelog:
Quote- Tons of improvements to GUI clarity, explanatory tooltips, etc.
- Auto-resolve option for battles.
- Permadeath made optional (and off by default).
- Awesome new ship graphics for during battles.
- New Burlust "Turmoil" mechanic.
- New ways to persuade races to join the federation.
- New actions that NPC-races take when it seems appropriate to them.
- Six new quests.
- Added player actions to support a ground invasions, oppose them, or simply start bombing stuff independently.
- Added the Ark and the Mire, two randomly seeded unique buildings that help make each game different.
- Major improvements to how RCI, Attitude, and Influence numbers work so that they make more sense to the player.
- Major revisions to widely-disliked missions like "Clean up AFA", "Deliver Spacefaring Technology", etc.
- Radical shifts to solar map pacing and many revisions to how actions work to increase player agency.
- New moddable "Bullet Pattern" engine that allows some really crazy new behaviors for enemy shots. Tons of new and revised bullet patterns.
- You can now do practice combats at the black market to try out tactics or just enjoy blowing up tons of ships.
- Substantial CPU/GPU performance improvements.
- Rebalancing both in combat and on the solar map.
- Multitudinous bugfixes.


You have to hand it to Arcen Games, not only do they support their games for quite a long time compared to most other developers, but they release big patches and new content. They really are one of my top 10 developers, easily.

Look out for a future GOL Cast from our caster Samsai to cover it a bit more in-depth.

"The Last Federation" is really a great game, I enjoyed it a lot when it initially came out. The only problem is that the developers change so much with the patches that every few months you have to study it again! :P
