Naev 0.12.0-beta.1

BY BOBBENS, ON NOVEMBER 16TH, 2024

This year, we’re starting the betas a bit early given the large amount of content modified and added. As always, this release contains a large amount of changes done during the past year which likely have introduced a lot of bugs and issues that we want to iron out before the final release of 0.12.0.

Now, this release changes a lot of how the game currently plays, and, while it is highly recommended to start a new game, it should be possible to just load up your old saves without too much stuff being changed. In particular, some of the major changes are:

  1. Nearly all the ships are now modeled in 3D with fancy lighting and tilting effects!
  2. You can now capture ships!
  3. New ships and ship variants!
  4. Faction reputation is no longer a single global value, but more nuanced and local.
  5. New challenging area to access many secrets.
  6. In-game Wiki full of mechanics and lore explanations!

If you try it and find any issues, please report them at the issue tracker. Discussion about the game can be had on one of the various discussion forums and chatrooms we have. Check them out here!

You can get the new version from any of the sources below:

Get - Github

As a new ship variant of the Llama, the Llama Voyager shares many features but has fundamental differences such as fuel regeneration.
