Hey, Luke here.Got an update regarding the unstable branch. Which you can access via:Right Click ATS > Properties > Versions > UnstableWhat's up?Over the last two months we've been working on a heavy overhaul of ships movement. You know how sometimes your Tollies will charge right at a hostile battleship, then as it starts to retreat they get a little timid and scared about chasing after? Every seen a drone kind of just not get in range of a target that's fleeing? Or just rocket out into a weird orbit that doesn't help it? Ever seen a Partell just refuse to continue along this mortal coil and freezer perfectly in place? Well that's a rather large and annoying issue, and it's been my job to handle movement code for the last eternity of years that we've been working on this game. So let me tell you it's not a trivial problem. There are a lot of unique units in this game that all want to do different things with the same movement code.Better Ship/Drone Movement.I breathed a sigh of spancial relief when I finally saw a Sparrow drone perfectly chase and orbit a fleeting target. When I watched an Otorell bear-charge a Harrier and blast it to pieces. When I giggled with glee as Tollies chased and absolutely bullied a set of retreating Cormorants. Something they had always been able to do, but never actually done correctly.Missile Flight Improvements.And not only that, but I've given Missiles and rammers a bit of cheaty movement. Missiles can now opt into using "fin force" (I'm sure there's enough dust in the spance) which lets them redirect their velocity towards their target to help them hit rapidly moving and dodging ships (as well as missiles). Tractor Ships ImprovementsTractors now have a dedicated TRACTOR weapon that intelligently modulates it's pull/push force to keep a target at it's new holdDistance. As well as being smart enough to stop pulling, and not throw themselves into harms way as much.Tractor ships were meant to be the active and direct counter to long ran...
Hello everyone,FTS: Frontline Tank Survivor has launched in Early Access.It is a meaningful moment for me to finally release my first commercial title. At the same time, I see this as the real beginning. This Early Access version is focused on delivering the game's core combat and progression first, and from here on I plan to keep refining and expanding the foundation of the game based on player feedback.In the current version, you can experience the core gameplay centered on top-down tank combat, run-based progression, skill selection and build crafting, and the combinations between different tanks and crew members. There are still many areas that need improvement, and there are clearly parts of the game that require more work overall. I am fully aware of that, and I also have a clear sense of what needs to come first during the Early Access period.The top priorities right now are as follows.1. Stability and bug fixingI will prioritize fixing bugs that interfere with play, systems that do not behave as intended, and issues that break the flow of a run.2. Performance and combat feel improvementsI will continue improving the parts players feel most directly during play, including framerate issues, excessive processing load, controls, hit feedback, weapon feel, and enemy reactions.3. Balance and progression cleanupMany numbers and reward flows are still provisional in nature. I will review tanks, skills, crew, enemy composition, rewards, and unlock flow as a whole, and keep adjusting them in a way that feels easier to read and easier to understand.4. Readability and quality-of-life improvementsUI, information delivery, control guidance, combat readability, and the clarity of progression results are also important priorities, so that players can learn and judge the game more naturally.The current goal is to bring FTS from Early Access to version 1.0 between late 2026 and early 2027.Along the way, separate from the regular updates focused on improving the foundation of ...

After initial 0.1.1, 0.1.2 and 0.1.3 updates focused on bugfixes and performance improvements (check precise changelogs in previous posts) I am back with the actual 0.2 content update! Each major version (0.x) will focus on updating game with improved gameplay functionalities and actual features rather than fixing or improving existing ones. This update focused on overhauling Idler part of the game - although there are more improvements to come at short notice. In actual functional changes to gameplay: hospitalization system is a major shift in the gameplay - as this means, permadeath has been effectively removed from the game, to favor more incremental gameplay where player can build strong squad without any sudden unexpected consequences. Although actual changelog seems large, I think the best description of this update is... foundation for even larger updates that will meaningfully add replayability and content, as well as challenge to the game. Features Changelog:New main menu save flow Continue now loads the latest run, Load Game lets you choose a specific slot, and New Game uses the same 3-slot picker with overwrite confirmation. Squad defeat now leads to hospital recovery instead of ending the run Downed crew stay on the roster, lose equipped gear, cost money to patch up, and recover over time instead of being permanently wiped. Hospitalization is now fully tied into safehouse play Squad readiness, deployment, city exit, and recovery upgrades now properly respect who is available and who is still recovering. Intel now includes Steam-backed Global comparisons You can compare your best and lifetime stats against wider player data directly in-game. The safehouse command board got a major upgrade Squad members now read much more clearly through portraits, better card layouts, clearer status states, progress bars, activity feed updates, and stronger reward feedback. Safehouse and Intel UI got a broad quality pass Management screens are now more stable, more readab...
Bugs Fixes: The Auto-save no longer erases the user save. Changing screen resolution no longer changes the graphic quality Improved tutorial, now includes more steps Fixed Quick acess menu Fixed Milkshake prices Fixed Attachment Slots for Angled Kitchen Bar (Type A) Visual indicator when moving using mouse Counter as tables are improved. Door no longer obstructs pathfinding. New Features: Added Tooltip system New tip and level-up sound added New hairs
The Irregular MilitiaThe Irregular Militia Forces have always held a special place in the heart of Squad. As one of our original asymmetric factions, they were designed to be an East Bloc style wildcard faction, a force that specializes in adaptable warfare in the face of standard militaries, especially in unique scenarios and game modes like Invasion. A Look BackThe Success of v4.3During the development of v4.3 our goal was to pull the IMF away from the shadow of the Middle Eastern Insurgents and give them an update that felt uniquely scrappy yet capable. We introduced several fan-favourite features that defined the IMF’s tactical soul at this time:Defensive Ingenuity: The introduction of the ZiS3 Field Gun, tank traps, hull-down positions for vehicles, various camo netting deployables, and dirt filled ammo boxes. The Arsenal: We expanded role variants especially for Squad Leaders and Riflemen with the FN FAL (and its rifle grenades), new AK variants and updates to the AK iron sight picture. We also returned the iconic RKG-3 AT grenade (more on this later). Heavy Support: The BM-21 Grad replaced older UB32 technicals, providing a massive leap in long-range fire support, while up-armored technicals and BMP-1 updates and variants rounded out the motor pool. The feedback we received from the community was overwhelmingly positive, and the IMF became one of the most popular factions, especially in Invasion map layers. The v9.0 PivotStarting with v9.0, we began a staged rollout intended to represent the IMF as a Russian-proxy militia. This shifted the focus toward modern Eastern weaponry, introducing the AK-12, AS-VAL, SV-98M, and the T72A tank.However, this transition came at a cost. The faction lost its Western-surplus flavor (M16A2s, M4s, and FN FALs), and the transition to Unreal Engine 5 unfortunately crippled the RKG-3 grenade, rendering it ineffective against vehicles. We recognized that the “Russian-proxy” shift didn’t resonate with the spirit of the IMF or the C...

Hey everyone,Quick warning: this one is a big one. Not in "new content" size, but in "stuff that was quietly broken and is now fixed" size. I spent a few weeks rewriting the parts of the code I'd been avoiding, and a few of the bugs I found along the way made me laugh out loud.The big one: for as long as DriveWave has existed, car colors have been applied wrong. You'd pick a red paint, the save would store red, the UI would say red, and the car would spawn... the first color in the list. Every single time. Turns out there was a = 0 sitting right on top of the saved index, overwriting it before it could do anything. Your saved colors have been sitting there this whole time. They finally come out now.🎨 Paint & wheelsCar color and vinyl finally respect the saved index. Your previously-picked paint is already there, it just couldn't come out to play.Rim and wheel customization now applies in driving mode (it was being destroyed on spawn and never rebuilt).Rims and wheels also sync to cars parked in car lots, so the ones around the map match what you own.Garage UI re-syncs when another context changes a color/vinyl, no more stale "5/10" text.🏁 Driving feelNew Initial D / Underground 2 style chase camera. Smoother peek on turns, no more discrete snap when the yaw crosses a threshold.Visual weight transfer. Cars dive under braking and squat under throttle, scaled to how fast the car actually is.Launch grace for slow cars. Weaker cars (0-60 around 25s) get a small boost off the line so they feel responsive instead of glued.4th-gear jerk at ~160 km/h is gone. The sim was briefly telling the car it was going backwards when yaw wobbled, and the brake pedal would slam full for a single frame. Fixed.Shift "throttle cut" feel smoothed. The engine was dipping on every upshift because releaseGasPedalAtShifting was on. Now it's a soft dip at 0.08s, your brain reads it as a shift instead of a lift.🔊 AudioCar audio slider is actually unified now. Electric cars had their wind hardcoded...
fixed a few things
This update focuses on making the terminal feel like a real shell and opening the game up to players who want a gentler (or harsher) challenge. All changes are save-compatible — load your existing save and everything just works. ✨ New Features Tab-completion for hosts — Typing ssh, ping, nmap, exploit, trace, nc, arpspoof or ftp followed by Tab now completes from IPs you've discovered. No spoilers — you only see hosts you've actually pinged, scanned, or owned. Works with user@ prefix for SSH. Ctrl+R reverse history search — Classic bash-style incremental search. Type to filter, Ctrl+R again to cycle older matches, Enter executes, Esc cancels. alias / unalias commands — Define shortcuts like alias brute='hydra -l root -P /usr/share/wordlist.txt ssh://'. Persists across saves. Use alias with no args to list, unalias to remove. Difficulty setting — New slider in Settings: Easy (+50% time on timed tasks, +2 stealth noise budget), Normal (unchanged), Hard (-25% time, -1 noise budget). Stacks with NG+. Autosave — New Settings option: Off / 5 min / 10 min (default 5 min). Won't interrupt timed or stealth tasks. Small "AUTOSAVED" toast when it fires. Quicksave / Quickload — F5 and F9 are finally wired up (they were listed in the help popup but did nothing — sorry!). 🔧 Fixes & Polish F1 shortcuts popup: corrected the Esc entry (it pauses, it doesn't close the window) and added Ctrl+R, Ctrl+Shift+C (cascade windows). Removed the broken dev-only Pause-key entry from the shortcuts popup. Tab-completion now sees user-defined aliases. 💾 Save Compatibility Fully backwards-compatible. Existing saves load cleanly — new settings default to Normal difficulty and 5-minute autosave. No replay required.
