Summary (AI)

The Last Starship has officially launched version 1.0, exiting Early Access after five years of development and extensive community engagement. This update includes numerous quality-of-life improvements such as reduced UI clutter in the ship editor, enhanced recipe window controls, and new mechanics in Survival Mode where civilian payments are now tied to sector jumps. Lightning rod functionality has been overhauled to better protect ships from damage, and various bugs affecting UI, tutorials, and gameplay systems have been fixed. The developers plan ongoing support with further updates scheduled to begin in March 2024.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

After five years of development and three years of Early Access, we are very happy to announce that we are exiting Early Access and launching v1.0 of The Last Starship TODAY!
It's been an incredible journey through Early Access, with 22 major updates from us and over 2200 ships now listed on the Steam Workshop, and over 750,000 hours of recorded player time.
We plan to continue supporting The Last Starship throughout 2026 with more updates and videos.
We will see you in March for the first post v1.0 update!
