Game Update August 4, 2020
Between 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM UTC+2 server time, the game servers will restart for a game update to be deployed.
NEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTS
Galaxy News System
Added an RSS-based news window that will always display the latest posts from the News & Announcements, Dev Shack and Events & Contests sections of this forum. There is a section for server-specific community news as well!
- The new RSS-based news window replaces the window "Galaxy News".
- The arrival of new posts is signaled by the "Galaxy News" icon in the game, just like before.
- When posts arrive with the news window closed, these unread posts will be marked as "new" the next time you open the news window.
- Posts that are too long to fit the news window are marked as being truncated in the lower right corner. Clicking the "Read More" button will take you to the full post in the forum.

Further Energy-Related Changes
Our goal with the June 30 Update was to improve the playability for players without premium items in competitive game modes and general playability. But after giving the update time to sink in and monitoring the energy economy, we noticed that we overshoot that goal. Therefore we needed to adjust a few things to balance it out to offer a good middleground.
- Reduced the overall energy cap by a third. This means that the cap is still double its size compared to before the June 30 update.
- Instant Materialization Energy cost increased to be 60% of the energy cap.
-
Reduced the overall amount of Energy that is collected in a given time.
- Reduced the average size of Energy orbs on planet surfaces.
- Orb collection speed has been slightly reduced as well.
- Ancient and Rare collectors have been adjusted to more closely match their regular counterparts.

-
All drones that boost two attributes instead of just one now consume 75% more energy (when used on a planet surface).
[*]Drone charging Energy requirements have been increased to 55% of the energy cap.
