Star Traders 4.5.1 has been lauded for finally reaching a high level of accessibility. If you are blind, give us a try as we have worked with a lot of community members on this front and they are finally giving us 5 stars!
If the ultimate ambition to port all content from the Android version to iOS, or is there a risk the iOS edition be orphaned somewhere along the way, in favour of more pressing matters (i.e., Star Traders 2, etc)? I certainly would not blame you, especially with the game already being so very complex and jam-packed with features But I am trying to decide what version to play myself, and only want to invest in the iOS version if it will eventually include all content.
Tried the free version long time ago, but I was too overwhelmed. Been thinking about buying it at 99 cents all day, and now, when I finally decide to buy it because I just read that it's more accesible to newbies, it's gone back to $3... Anyway, is it really easier to learn how to play now, in version 5.0.3?
