Star Traders 4X Empires Hyperion Ship Skin Pack Released

The Trese Brothers don't put ads in their games (not even the free versions!) and never use consumable IAP/premium currency. So when they bring out an in-app purchase, you know it isn't an attempt to scam you out of your hard earned money.

The Hyperion Ship Skin Pack is a collection of skins for your fleet in Star Traders 4X Empires, adding to the 24 already in the game. It includes:

• 4 new skins for light and agile fighters
• 4 new skins for torpedo boats, heavy gun boats and cruisers
• 4 new skins for scouts, colony hives, and transports
• 4 new skins for ultra-heavy carriers and refueling barges
• 4 new skins for crushing might of single-weapon Strike Cruisers and Hyperion Heavy Transports

These in conjunction with the latest update - which brought in 22 new technologies, 12 ship upgrades and more - mean your fleet is even more customisable than ever. Take on the Xeno menace and take back the galaxy with your overwhelming - and now shinier - might!

Star Traders 4X isn't the first game to have premium skins, but they are considerably more value for money than, say, the horse armour skin in The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (which was $2.50 upon release!).

The game (and thus skin pack) is available through Google Play, Apple App Store, Amazon App Store, Desura and is in the process of getting Greenlit on Steam. The Hyperion Ship Skin Pack will cost you £0.62 / $0.99, while the main game is still free with an optional Elite upgrade.
