About the Game
Design awesome starships using intuitive ship creation tools that are easy to learn but hard to master. Fully customize your ship's shape and floor plan, choosing where to place individual modules including weapons, engines, hallways, and crew's quarters. Your ship's design is key to its survival, and every decision you make will impact its performance in battle. Easily share your designs with others through the Steam Workshop, Forums, and Discord.
A ship's crew is its lifeblood. Numbering from half-a-dozen to a thousand or more individually-simulated people, your crew will pilot your ships, operate their weapons, and carry munitions. How efficiently they operate determines how well your ships will perform in combat. Your crew are autonomous but you can optionally customize their behavior with specific roles and job priorities.
Command your ship or fleet in real-time tactical battles. Combat is physics-driven, explosive, and immensely satisfying. Each module can be individually targeted and destroyed, and whole ships can even break apart into multiple pieces. Target an enemy's weapons to eliminate its offensive capability, destroy its shields to lower its defenses, or go for the kill by taking out its reactor.
Become the most famous "Cosmoteer'' in the universe by battling A.I. ships, taking on contracts for factions, earning loot, and upgrading your own ship while exploring a procedurally-generated galaxy, alone or in online co-op with friends. Then test your ships design and command skills online against other players in multiple PvP battle modes. Or let your imagination fly free in the Creative Mode where you can build whatever you want with unlimited resources.
Still want more? A powerful modding framework and Steam Workshop will keep Cosmoteer constantly feeling fresh with new player-created weapons, modules, and other enhancements.

Version Information
Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
- Bugfix: When running in developer mode, mods that add new ship classes would crash the game during loading with a "cannot be used in the demo" error. (This bug was introduced in yesterday's 0.30.4b hotfix.)
- Possible fix for rare, random crashes during gameplay.
Attention Linux Players: We're aware that many of you are experiencing random and often frequent freezes/crashes since the 0.30.4 update. We're currently in communications with the Proton team about these, and they need your Proton log files in order to investigate the issue. Please see this FAQ about how to turn on and find the Proton log file. Please post the log file here or on Discord. (Warning: These files can be extremely large, so you may need to compress it or extract the final 10k lines or so.) In the meantime, some players have reported success by changing the version of Proton used, and if that doesn't work then rolling Cosmoteer back to 0.30.3 (available via the beta branches) should definitely resolve it.
- Bugfix: The game would sometimes load forever while jumping to a new star system.
- When updating an existing Steam Workshop item, the name, description, and preview image will no longer be updated unless you specially check a box to do so.
Cosmoteer release candidate 0.30.4 is now available for testing! (To play this release candidate, you must opt in to test it. Please see this post for info on how to test release candidates.)
This release candidate adds "Ironman Mode" to Career, adds new ships, improves balance, and fixes bugs.
Thanks for testing!

RC1 Patch Notes:
Built-In Ships:
Added 4 new Fringe combat ships: Hotshot, Scorcher, Smoulderer, and Stoker.

Increased range from 150 to 200.
Point Defense (Overclocked):
Reduced rate of fire from 15 to 11.25.
Reduced heat generation from 450 to 200.
Increased power use from 0.035 to 0.04/shot.
Decreased energy generation from 0.131 to 0.125/second.
Reasoning: Improve the number of PD that can be supported per Heat Exchanger.
Heavy Laser (Overclocked):
Reduced shield area damage from 1600 to 700.
Reasoning: Was overperforming in damage potential vs shields, especially stacked shields. (Full single-shield hits is still above non-overclocked damage.)
Railgun (Overclocked):
Reduced base damage pool from 20000 to 16000.
Reasoning: Was generally overperforming.
Large Cannon (Overclocked):
Reduced projectile speed from 195 to 170.
Reasoning: Was overperforming because bullets were too hard to dodge or intercept.
Thermal Resonance Lance:
Increased shield overload duration from 1 to 1.5 seconds.
Increased shield overload per amplification from 0.6% to 0.75%.
Increased shield overload per dilation from 12.5% to 16%.
Increased shield overload base amount from 4.4% to 5%.
Reasoning: Thermal Resonance Lance's were underperforming vs shields after prior fixes/nerfs.
Heat:
Damage resistance modifier reduced by 28%.
Reasoning: Part damage bonus from Thermal Resonance Lances was too strong.
Ship A.I.:
When A.I. ships retreat back to their origin, they will no longer turn their backs to their enemies.
User Interface:
Amplification and Dilation Pump stats now show their power usage scaling.
In multiplayer, observers are now grouped under their own "team" header in the scoreboard.
Audio:
Lots of tweaks to sound effects, including balance levels.
Reduced the volume of multiple shields enabling or disabling at the same time.
The default music and interface volumes have been adjusted to provide a better balance.
Audio levels are now limited by Cosmoteer instead of relying on the OS. (This shouldn't have any noticeable effect when playing, but should fix audio issues when recording/streaming.)
Graphics:
Fixed the 'fade_straight_triangle_half_empty` decal so that it properly matches surrounding decals.
The Great House Io faction icon now has a glow like the other icons. (Was literally unplayable.)
Bug Fixes:
On some computers with AMD GPUs, Cosmoteer would fail to start (often showing as a black box) with the error message "No suitable default monitor was found" in the log files.
Ships attacking a station would sometimes fly to the wrong station.
Missions to defeat Great House Io ships were never spawning.
It was possible to get free resources or unlimited money by buying resources and then switching to another star system before the trade was complete. (Doing so would refund the money, but then the trade would still complete upon returning to the original star system.)
Overclocked Capacitors no longer produce heat when filled by "Restock All".
Resources pre-purchased but not-yet-received from a ship or station that becomes junk weren't being refunded.
Diamond Smelters would produce diamonds even when powered off.
Following a ship in Career that goes far enough away from the player to be despawned will now properly turn the player's follow command into a move command to the target's last-known location.
Mirrored part selection now works properly for Thermal Batteries.
Viewing .rec files could sometimes freeze when jumping to another system, and would definitely freeze on the 2nd jump.
Modding:
Rules files path syntax now supports a ':' syntax which means "go to the most-derived inheritor". (This syntax is not currently being used by the vanilla rules files but will be in the future.)
Some part components (currently only resource storage components, but possibly more in the future) now support multiple triggers under different names.
All resource storage components now support a "CrewResourcesReceived" named trigger that will be triggered when they receive resources specifically from crew.
ResourceChange components now support using a specific named trigger. (Currently this is the only component, but in the near future all components that use triggers will support named triggers.)
Fixed crash in some circumstances if a translation .rules file is edited while the game is running.
Fixed NetworkPorts routing to/from NetworkNodeProxies not removing their routes when the proxy was disabled.
Fixed mods reducing part crew requirements in existing saves which could corrupt the save, causing crashes.
RC2 Patch Notes:
Updated Railgun overclock description and stats to describe its new-ish projectile fragmentation.
Bugfix: Audio was playing more loudly than intended. (Note: This reverts to the "fix" for recording/streaming issues. If you experience audio issues when recording or streaming, try lowering the in-game audio volume.)
Bugfix: Recentering blueprints would cause heat pipes to appear disconnected.
Bugfix: Heat Pipe blueprints were unintentionally rendering over part selection/hover overlays.
RC3 Patch Notes:
Translation updates for all supported languages.
Fixed a couple issues with the 'Erato' Great House Io trade ship.
Bugfix: Overclocked Point Defense was generating 1000 times more power than intended.
Bugfix: Overclocked Point Defense was not generating heat when needing less power than one recharge tick's worth.
Bugfix: Overclocked Standard, Large, Huge, and Boost thrusters had much longer thrust recovery times than intended.
Bugfix: Boost Thrusters had 25% higher power usage and heat generation while boosting than was intended.
Bugfix: Boost Thruster max power usage had been unintentionally reverted in 0.30.2; it has been un-reverted (1.38 to 1.1).
Bugfix: Certain audio effects (such as the nuke's thruster rumble) could cause annoying audio pops when stopped.
- Fixed overclocked railgun splitting projectiles causing lag/stutter.
- Fixed frequent desyncs during gameplay, especially during ship construction.
Cosmoteer release candidate 0.30.2 is now available for testing! (To play this release candidate, you must opt in to test it. Please see this post for info on how to test release candidates.)
This is a release candidate tweaks the new sound effects in response to player feedback (thanks!!), makes quality-of-life improvements, adds new ships, improves balance, and fixes bugs.

A.I. ships were more willing to switch targets than was intended.
A.I. ships would sometimes not target enemies within their patrol area.
The "insufficient command points" icon's text was wrapping weirdly with large numbers of command points.
"Durability" was missing from the Large Laser Blaster's overclock stats.
A non-host muting another non-host in a multiplayer game would actually just mute the host.
It was possible to switch an in-system's hyper-jump destination as the ship was jumping.
Trade ships were sometimes unintentionally changing their destination mid-route.
