Around 8:45 AM UTC+2, game servers will restart for a game update to be deployed.

Event Preparations

• Prepared the upcoming Spaceball 2K24 event.

Drone-related Changes

• Drones that increase hit chance or critical hit chance now also work in PvP.

  Attribute effect	Singular attribute drones	Dual attribute drones
  armor increase	15%	10%
  critical hit chance increase	30%	20%
  cryonite collection bonus	10%	‒
  damage increase	15%	10%
  blueprint drop chance increase	15%	10%
  hit chance increase	24%	16%
  range increase	15%	10%
  flying speed increase	15%	10%

Improvements

• Improved distance filtering on Conquest planets with increased visibility range and faster visibility checks.
• The shop window's performance was optimized to better handle large numbers of promoted items.

Bugfixes

• Fixed that the join date is properly read from the avatar creation date in the player profile (some pilots had an incorrect date displayed due to a bug).
  • Pilots that were affected by the incorrect join date bug may also see an incorrect playing time in their player profile. Unfortunately, this incorrect playing time cannot be fixed.
