or whether that's just the final touches and tying up loose ends patch the Dev mentioned hasn't been stated.
Pretty reasonable to assume that the "final touches" version won't just be bug fixes and polish, it will probably also update the epilogue (unclear if for setting up sequel and/or certain alternative endings based on stats, although stats in this game are sort of an illusion, since there aren't really options for NOT developing them; ie, there ain't no love route, prolly won't ever be one!). Still, until dev decides what they wanna do for the next game, no reason why they can't just keep pumping out SJX content, we ain't complainin'!

Love the game, but I gotta ask, is there any game similar with a female protagonist? Lesbian preferred, and has to also be SciFi or Fantasy?
I don't recall any similar game, much less one with a female protagonist. There is an older one with a male protagonist, like "Daiteikoku," but I don't know if it's in English. The only thing I can recommend is to search by tag.

He is currently working on a raiding mechanic, where you have to use the Armory on Deck 3 and several of your bots to counter them in classic Ren'Py combat... so yeah quiet some gameplay mechanic... and let's not forget the weapons and shields for the base that are still in the Upgrade menu.
On that note we haven't seen the interior of the base either.

It's already decided that SJ X 2 won all polls

I wouldn't take the poll as if it were written in stone either. For example, I voted for the second part since it is a unique game. Today they asked if there was a similar game and the truth is that there isn't. So it would be a shame if the project died. But it's also true that the last word is YV's. And if he loses his passion for the project or decides to do something else, I would understand, since I've seen many artists try to do something they didn't feel like doing because people asked them to, and they all ended badly. That's why it would be favorable for YV to ignore the poll and do what he liked to be able to see another work like this.
By the way, some say I'm a romantic and others say I'm stupid. You decide what to call me.:)

You forgot about the upstairs of the pirate bar or the sex bot arcade on Iltari station, those have been teased since basically 0.1. I've always assumed that the dancing pole downstairs isn't just for eye candy, the poses would also be re-used in the upstairs portion. Be cool if it also resulted in dancing at the regular bar on Ilium station, but that would require entirely new poses since no pole = no reusability.

It's already decided that SJ X 2 won all polls
Arguably this is already SJX2, but yeah, it'll probably be a distinct game. Still think another strategy game with a hex campaign map like Princess/Tower would be cool, but coding multiple opponents to not make stupid decisions nor automatically gang up on human player is actually a huge pain in the ass; most AAA solve this by just letting computer opponents cheat at higher difficulty levels, cheaper easier than coding it to be "smarter."

If anything, it'll still be RPGish but trade the node-based travel on the campaign map for the hex grid, which would be quite a nice improvement. Node-based UI is nice for like research trees, but just ends up being crazy tedious with too much clicking for UI movement in a game. Clicking through the spaceship got so tedious dev had to add a shortcut mini-map!

The upside is that YV is a coder first, artist second. Arguably part of the reason why his games actually get finished... he doesn't lose his mind trying to cram arts into a barely functioning code base!

Edit: Wrote "Ilium" instead of "Iltari" like the 3rd time I've done that in this thread... so fixed it.

Too much Mass Effect (Illium) or Star Wars (Ilum).
Definitely Mass Effect, since Disney thoroughly shit the bed and therefore I have no reason to bother keeping up with Star Wars anymore (including planet names). But it is fascinating how well Marvel franchise is doing compared to Star Wars franchise (since both cost basically the same to acquire), love to be the fly on the wall of those Disney exec meetings where they compare the two and keep coming to incorrect conclusions!

There were polls on Patreon and Subsrcipstar aswell... take a gues which idea won?
Y.V. could change his goal, but I dount that choice would be popular enough to keep many of his supporters around.
I have seen other projects as you mentioned and I also saw Devs going down after a one time hit because the next idea wasn't aswell received... ultimately the choice is Y.V. that I agree on though.

Some teasers indicate we are going into a rift of Dimensions... with complete new subunits and systems... while I am not certain, I doubt that's for the Gold Version

I've said it before. I love that he is continuing to try new things. He always seems to learn something new and everyone loves it. Looking forward to whatever he conjures up.

It was a great update
I'm especially happy that their was an infiltrator option to skip combat. I think combat difficulty is a bit overtuned. These girls should be terrified of how much danger they are in.

The only thing I can think of as being missing is the commentary made by characters who are willing to leave the pet uniform on after moving back to normal space. Khelara and Moira still do not appear or comment if they decide to leave it on.

Another small detail is that no matter what their status, if traveling forces them into the pet uniform, (by being assigned any other uniform, and then traveling to Krell space) they will always complain and revert back to the standard uniform once they return to normal space. In other words, the uniform set by the player is the one that determines whether they complain about the pet uniform upon returning to normal space, rather than their actual willingness.

Already sold that bot, didn't make much more money as my Galaxina bot which is worth way less... :D
Recreated a new one, it's a bit less worth, but got bored rerolling the traits.
Fucking that would make you go avatar state for a month or just straight up kill you, also yv0751 this bot skin is your best work Gyat Dayum !!!

Hhhmm, when I transition from Krell to either of the two other systems, most of the time they don't seem to mind keeping the krell uniform on; but I've never bothered to test whether this is due to already wearing it when entering Krell space. I had always just assumed it was determined by stats, once certain stats are high enough they stop changing back. Because they do arbitrarily switch back sometimes, so hard to determine if this is a bug or a feature.

If anything, my only gripe is that "free uniform" doesn't mean free choice, it really means "original uniform." Arguably, the free uniform choice option should allow the possibility of wearing any of the available options (again, preference probably controlled by stats). I had always just assumed YV's first language wasn't English, resulting in just a poor choice of vocabulary. It's also really not that big of a deal anyways, since there aren't any in-game penalties (ie, fines by Space Patrol) to "enforce" uniform choice. Although admittedly balancing such a penalty would be kind of a pain, can't make it too expensive for early game but then without some mechanism for penalty growth, it'll just become an annoyance by end-game...

Have a couple questions. I have some mysterious cubes and don't know what they are used for. Tried searching here, but nothing came up. Also, I'm at the point I need cloaking stuff for the biolab quest. I have one, but it sounds like I need to fill every slot on the shield screen. Is that correct? Is the pirate base the only place that sells them because he doesn't always have some.

I just thought of something, I have two in the cargo hold, I could transfer them and then I only need three more.

I know you're basically done with the game, but wondering if you would be willing to give the option with T'ris' handjob to do a full facial or the come in mouth.

Depends on your equipent... most combat get trivial with the Void Cloaking Shield and shield leacher (With Void addons)

Quotor conspiricy I think
Basically 5 days after entering NX-010 you see an ingame sequence and afterwards you need to spend a night in Quotor Station... the Dialogues and Quest description should tell what to do from there

For the life of me I can not find a type G shell. Ive looted the Quthor belt pirates over and over again and have not come across a single one. Is there something that I am missing or doing wrong? Never mind 2 attempts later and I have found one it turns out the solution was just to complain
