Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Round 3 of the ongoing experimental version for Update 1.12 starts today. We are now on the home stretch to the public release! (the date will be announced in the near future)
We would be grateful if you would devote your testing attention to the following new features, among others:

- The new mass-speed-penalty mechanic is fully implemented. This means that you can once again reach the technical maximum speed of your ship type, albeit more slowly, if necessary by reducing mass.

- When starting the game with Dark Faction DLC, you can now start the scenario directly in creative mode in the options

- In the PDA (F1) of the standard scenario, in the standalone tutorial and in the Rise of the Dark Faction scenario (DLC), there are new integrated feedback questionnaires that you can use directly from the game.

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

We’re back with Experimental Update 1.12 - Part II with some more additions to the game.

This update introduces Field Repair, allowing players to repair their structures on-site. We’re also rolling out a Structure Ownership Transfer feature, making it easier than ever to hand off bases and vessels to other players.

For content creators, we’ve added the powerful PDA PlayfieldOp "ReplaceCcStandingOn", enabling POIs to dynamically transform into different blueprints during runtime.

New shield generator models, a shield extender block, and updates to POIs across multiple factions (UCH, Zirax, Arkenian Republic, and Prenn Federation) add more depth to the universe. Speaking of missions, we’ve refined encounters like Deserted Powers (Skillon) for a better gameplay experience, and added in-game feedback surveys so you can share your thoughts directly from the PDA!

For racers, the HeKaTon Cup has received new enhancement... Read more

As we step into 2025, let’s embrace the opportunities it holds with confidence and determination. May this New Year be a turning point, bringing success, happiness, and fulfilment to us all.

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

The year has flown by again and Christmas is just around the corner. We have put together a small gift package in the last few weeks, which we are giving to you as a test version in the Experimental Update 1.12!

Not only can you try out a completely new five-part campaign for your avatar's home faction, the UCH, but this faction also gets a completely new series of NPC models that will from now on represent the ‘people of the Milky Way’ in the game! In addition, we have included the first version of a racing event. You can find the ‘HeKaTon Cup’ by visiting the Arkenian Republic's home world. Just stop by the Hurrz Hoverbikes Store on Arkenia Prime or fly directly to the moon.

We are looking forward to your best times - and of course to seeing how you like the UCH campaign!

Of course, there are even more goodies. Starting with local energy barriers and energy sidewalks that can be activated in the tech tree, to a new ... Read more
