- RELEASE NOTES
- Galactic Command Echo Squad SE is a high-end and very challenging
- space/planetary combat game. It offers a thrilling campaign, instant
- action combat sessions as well as a sandbox mode allowing you to
- explore the game's universe while battling hostile Insurgent forces
- among others.
- Missions take place in space and on the surface of planets and range
- from basic escort and recon missions, to highly engaging and dangerous
- tactical strike missions.
- Many years have passed since the Gammulans invaded the sol system in
- full force and all but decimated the inhabitants of the planetary
- systems. cites were completely devastated and entire continents wiped
- out.
- In their wake, they left a splintered Galactic Command (GALCOM)
- alliance still engaged in a fierce battle with insurgents who oppose
- the alliance.
- Stretched to the limit Galactic Command scientists developed a new
- space craft that is lighter, faster and more powerful than any before
- it. Episode One begins with this new Engstrom class carrier's first
- day in a live combat engagement.
- Your Echo fighter squadron of fighters has been assigned to the
- WildStar battle fleet led by the GCV-Excalibur in operations against
- the Insurgent uprising.
- As an Elite Force Pilot and leader of the Echo fighter wing assigned
- to IIS starstation in orbit around Titan, your fighter squad is tasked
- with leading a series of defensive and offensive missions against the
- Insurgents occupying Sol territories.
- Unlike our other larger capital ship series (Battlecruiser, Universal
- Combat) Echo Squad SE takes place within the confines of the Terran
- Quadrant which spans the following star systems. So in sandbox mode,
- you are restricted to this quadrant.
- SOL, ALPHA CENTAURI, BARNARD S STAR, SIRIUS, OMICRON ERIDANI, TAU CETI,
- POLARIS, PROCYON
- Echo Squad was first developed in 2007-2008 for Turner s GameTap
- service. When that service was sold off (to Metaboli), the game rights
- reverted. A few months later we decided to update and improve the game.
- It was later released in early 2009 as Echo Squad SE. The game uses our
- legacy game engine first released in 2009 for the original Echo Squad
- SE. The much larger Universal Combat Collector s Edition v2.0 game is
- also derived from this engine.
- By popular demand, we decided to remaster and release an updated
- version of the game for the first time on Steam.

- support for Shader Model 2.0 and various high end effects such as

- environment mapping, normal maps and various shader based special
- effects.

- 1280x720 (720p) and 1920x1080 (1080i/p) resolution support.

- large surface areas. Technologies include reflections, volumetric
- clouds, dynamic 24hr time of day effects (including realistic star
- constellations in the night sky), dynamic weather patterns (snow,
