Hey everyone,


Buckle up and get ready for take-off: the Target Locked update is coming to Endless Space 2 on September 12!


This update will bring fighters & bombers, along with specific Battle tactics to make your fighter squadrons shine, & modules to support this new kind of weaponry. Look forward to our guide explaining how to best use fighters & bombers, when to build them, which fleet types will benefit from them, and how you can defend against the onslaught. But that's not all!




Target Locked features a dedicated quest which, starting in Military Era 4, will give players a chance to discover who exactly has been assembling huge amounts of fighters and letting them loose on the galaxy, with a cool reward for the winner.



It also features introduces a new heroine, pirate ace Jennifer Rach. Using the Seeker and Scavenger hero trees, will be an incomparable asset when it comes to leading squadrons of fighters and bombers into the fray! Finally, the game also adds a new Unfallen view to the main menu, to change up from the Lumeris and Vodyani... and then there's page after page of balance changes and fixes, all of which will be listed in the update notes on Tuesday!



Can't wait? Actually, you might test an early version of the build. While it is lacking a few changes being worked on following VIP feedback, it might scratch your Fighters & Bombers itch until next week. Follow this link to find out more. 



Fancy seeing all this in action? Then join us for a Twitch livestream, Tuesday, September 12th, at 5PM CEST!




See you there!

You can already find a preview version of the changelog in this thread: https://www.games2gether.com/endless-space-2/forums/65-general/threads/27782-target-locked-update-notes-preview


And as far as the heroine Bosun Jennifer Rach, she was, in fact, already a pirate heroine in the first Endless Space! Shout out to the long-time players who recognized her! (She was Meedoc's avatar on our previous forums, for the longest time!)

Fighters yeah! No space 4x complete without them


Great idea with the additional hero speicifc for the mechanic and unerstandably human as probably most players chose Human looking faction :)


Hope the small crafts will kick ass, and will finally play through the storilines I was holding off for this

Thanks for the news! I've been forestalling playing a new ES2 game until the fighters/bombers come, so I've got a major ES2 itch that needs to be scratched.


Did I understand this correctly, though? The update comes out on September 12th (Tuesday) but the update notes will come out September 14th (Thursday)?

Actually it's on Tuesday like the rest of the update, good catch!

I'm actually more hyped about the Main MEnu Faction view. I seriously want to see a different Factions each time I enter the Menu. Glorious and beautiful.

Pictures are used as headers for the *following* paragraph, not the one before!


I'll rephrase it nonetheless as it can indeed be misconstrued the way you pointed out. And also because I can't take Jonah Hill's judgemental gestures any longer.
