Game Update October 17, 2023

Around 8:00 AM UTC+2, game servers will restart for a game update to be deployed.

Event Preparations

• Made preparations for our upcoming Halloween event.

Changes to Speed Boosters in Pirate Mode

• Speed Boosters now remain active even when Pirate Mode is activated.
  • A running Speed Booster gets deactivated for the player that performs an offensive PvP action.
  • A deactivated Speed Booster is re-enabled 2 minutes after the player last performed an offensive PvP action.

Changes to Colossus Battle Event Scheduling

• Added a proper tech rotation queue to ensure all system techs will come up properly in time.
• Next Colossus battle event information is now shown 5 minutes after the last battle event has ended.

Order-Into-Chaos Changes

• In the hangar, the drones you own are now sorted first by name, then by level.
• During shop promotions, items are now sorted first by item category, then price, then name.
• Sorting streamlined in the item store. Most noticable on the Drones tab which was not properly sorted before.

Other Changes

• The hit point and velocity bonuses of Parsec ships have been increased from 20% to 25%, bringing Parsecs in line with RavenDynamics ships.
• Fixed a bug to make sure that spaceships are protected from damage and not attackable when in transition between zones. (Resulting in Pods in Orbit)
• Fixed Ancient Allies Cover items not being marked as "Ancient" items and thus using the wrong color scheme for their icons.
• Reworded a few texts where star systems' stargate names had been shortened to "[system name] gate".
• increased HP of Bobcat by 10% & speed dropped by 4%, which was overdue since raven event in february.
• increased HP of Flying Fox by 10% & speed dropped by 4%, which was overdue since raven event in february.
