    On the day of the sync, our players cannot login anymore starting at 9:30 CEST and the sync starts at 10 am CEST.

    Hello Space Pilots,

    We will have a sync with a server restart on 19th August at 10 am CEST to do some background work and event preparations.

    On the day of the sync, our players cannot login anymore starting at 9:30 CEST and the sync starts at 10 am CEST.

    Those who are still in the game can continue and finish their gameplay before the server restart happens.

    The sync will include the following changes:
    • Voyager's Ascent: The Voyager's Ascent Token will only be deducted after you have completed the gate.
    • Galaxy Trek: The rewards will be updated.
    After the sync and after updating the new Unity client (version 1.1.109), it may take longer to load the clients. Please be patient, after the first loading process is finished, it will be faster with the next login.

    Hello Space Pilots,

    Together with the sync on 19th August last week, a couple of bug fixes went live that we would like to share:
    • Bug: Players didn't get the Eternal Emperor title in Eternal Blacklight Rankings - Fixed (missing titles have been booked together with the sync)
    • Bug: Display issues with Pilot Bio Skill Points - Fixed
    • Bug: Nidhoog Spearhead but picture of the Spearhead is missing - Fixed
    • Bug: [Steam] No captcha popping up when trying to send messages to other players - Fixed
    • Bug: [Unity] No captcha popping up when you want to send messages to players who aren't in your contact list - Fixed
    • Bug: Disruptor ship can cause others to lose honor unfairly - Fixed
    Of course, we will investigate the impact of the abuse of the Disruptor ship. This might still take a little while, but it's under investigation.

    Hello Space Pilots,

    Our sync is now finished. Besides the background work, we fixed the following:
    • Bug: Omega Autotactics: Stops pursuing fleeing NPCs - FIXED
    • Bug: Omega Autotactics: Range problems when an NPC is fleeing - FIXED
    • Bug: Goliath + Epion Skin has no visual effects - FIXED
    • Bug: Rating isn't changed during Pursuit of Prestige event - FIXED (and compensation for all players' lost points completed during this sync)
    • Bug: Problems with chat window - FIXED
    • Bug: Battle Station Log Window Missing Vertical Scrollbar - FIXED

    • Bug: Timer stuck in Assembly - FIXED
    Improvements:
    • With today's sync, we will implement a new chat system to the Global 4 and Global 5 servers. We already did some internal testing of the new chat system on our test servers and now we would like to get more feedback from the live environment. The new chat system will be available on these 2 servers in the Unity version as well as in the Flash version.
    • All players who have accounts on those 2 servers are invited to participate in the Open Beta testing and sending their feedback in the Discord feedback channel that we will open up after our sync is finished.
    • Please note: The OB test will only be available for players beyond level 5!
    The Unity version will be updated to version 1.1.110.
